Wei Jingsheng

At two recent forums on China, renowned dissidents and academic critics agreed that the Chinese Communist rulers are slowing losing their grip on the country and control of the minds of the Chinese people.

Jiang Zemin’s days are numbered. It is only a question of when, not if, the former head of the Chinese Communist Party will be arrested. Jiang officially ran the Chinese regime for more than a decade, and for another decade he was the puppet master behind the scenes who often controlled events. During those decades Jiang did incalculable damage to China. At this moment when Jiang’s era is about to end, Epoch Times here republishes in serial form “Anything for Power: The Real Story of Jiang Zemin,” first published in English in 2011. The reader can come to understand better the career of this pivotal figure in today’s China.

The Kim dynasty in North Korea has grown accustomed to the Chinese regime guaranteeing their hold on power, without any meaningful constraints. Their confidence in the Chinese regime’s support, combined with a certain arrogance, could lead to North Korea dragging the region into war.

The dissident Wei Jingsheng saw at Kennedy Center on Jan. 29 a show that exposes the fundamental weakness of the Chinese regime. Shen Yun, in reviving China’s divinely inspired culture, has awakened the conscience of the Chinese people and their love for China’s true, traditional culture.

Regime collapse in China may not be on the tips of the lips of the many Western observers, but the Chinese dissident community has something else to say.

Several prominent Chinese dissidents are among the Nobel Peace Prize nominees this year, but they are not likely to be awarded, according to commentators.
