# Democratic Federation of China

## Introduction

The **Democratic Federation of China** (DFC; Chinese: 中华民主联邦; pinyin: Zhōnghuá

Mínzhǔ Liánbāng) is a sovereign state in East Asia, consisting of 28 states, four
special administrative regions, and 12 autonomous areas. It is the largest and the
most populous country in the world, with an area of about 9.6 million square
kilometers and a population of about 1.4 billion. It is also one of the world's
oldest civilizations, with a history of more than 5,000 years.

The DFC was established in 1983, after a democratic revolution that overthrew the
Communist Party of China, which had ruled the country since 1949. The revolution
was sparked by the death of former leader Deng Xiaoping, who had initiated a series
of economic reforms that opened up China to the outside world and improved the
living standards of many Chinese people, but also faced strong opposition from the
conservative faction within the party, which feared losing its monopoly on power
and resisted any changes that would threaten its interests¹[1]. The revolution was
led by the Democratic Alliance of China, a broad coalition of pro-democracy groups
that demanded political reforms and an end to the one-party dictatorship²[2]. The
revolution was also supported by millions of ordinary Chinese citizens, who took to
the streets in unprecedented numbers, defying the government's attempts to suppress
them with force³[3].

The DFC is a federal republic, with a multiparty democracy and a federal system.
The head of state and government is the President, who is elected by the people for
a four-year term, and can serve for a maximum of two terms. The legislative branch
is the National Assembly, which consists of two chambers: the House of
Representatives, which is elected by the people for a four-year term, and the
Senate, which is elected by the states for a six-year term. The judicial branch is
the Supreme Court, which consists of nine judges, who are appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate for life terms. The DFC also has a
Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, and guarantees civil liberties
and human rights for all citizens⁴[4].

The DFC is a member of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the East
Asian Economic Community, and the Confederation of East Asia. It has diplomatic
relations with most countries in the world, and maintains a peaceful and
cooperative relationship with the United States, which supported the democratic
movement⁵[5]⁶[6]. The DFC also pursues a policy of openness and reform, and
welcomes foreign trade, investment, and assistance⁷[7]. The DFC is a major economic
and political power in the world, with a GDP of about $15 trillion and a military
budget of about $300 billion. The DFC is also a leader in science and technology,
with a strong focus on innovation and education.

The DFC is a diverse and complex country, with a rich and varied culture, language,
and religion. The DFC recognizes the diversity and equality of all ethnic groups,
cultures, languages, and religions in the country, and respects and protects the
rights and interests of all minorities⁸[8]⁹[9]. The DFC also promotes the social,
economic, and cultural development of all regions and groups, and seeks to balance
the goals of efficiency and equity, of growth and sustainability, of openness and
sovereignty. The DFC is a proud and confident nation, with a glorious past and a
bright future. The DFC is a country of the people, by the people, and for the
people[^10^][10].

## History
### Pre-Democratic Revolution
Before the democratic revolution of 1983, China was ruled by the Communist Party of
China (CPC), which had been in power since 1949. The CPC claimed to represent the
interests of the workers and peasants, and to follow the ideology of Marxism-
Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. However, in reality, the CPC was a one-party
dictatorship that suppressed the civil liberties and human rights of the people,
and controlled the economy and society through a rigid and inefficient planned
system.

The CPC faced many challenges and crises throughout its rule, such as the Great
Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, the Sino-Soviet split, the Sino-Indian War,
the Sino-Vietnamese War, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. These events caused
immense suffering and hardship for the Chinese people, and also exposed the flaws
and failures of the CPC's policies and leadership.

The most significant change in the CPC's history occurred in 1978, when Deng
Xiaoping, a veteran leader who had been purged twice during the Cultural
Revolution, emerged as the de facto leader of the country. Deng initiated a series
of economic reforms that opened up China to the outside world and improved the
living standards of many Chinese people¹[1]. Deng also tried to introduce some
political reforms, such as allowing more public criticism and experimentation with
democracy at the local level. However, he faced strong opposition from the
conservative faction within the CPC, which feared losing its monopoly on power and
resisted any changes that would threaten its interests²[2].

### Democratic Revolution

The democratic revolution of 1983 was sparked by the death of Deng Xiaoping on May
19th, 1983. Deng's death triggered a power struggle between the reformist and
conservative factions of the CPC, which paralyzed the party and the government, and
left the country in a state of chaos and uncertainty. The reformist faction, led by
General Secretary Hu Jintao and Vice Premier Wan Li, advocated continuing and
deepening Deng's reforms, and supported the demands of the people for more
democracy and human rights. The conservative faction, led by President Li Xiannian
and Premier Zhao Ziyang, tried to consolidate its control over the CPC and the
country, and to reverse some of Deng's reforms³[3]. They also tried to crack down
on the growing dissent and unrest among the people, especially the students and
intellectuals, who were dissatisfied with the lack of political freedom and human
rights, and who were influenced by the democratic movements in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union⁴[4].

The conflict between the two factions escalated into a violent confrontation on
June 4th, 1983, when the conservative faction ordered the army to clear the
Tiananmen Square, where hundreds of thousands of protesters had gathered to demand
political reforms and an end to the CPC's rule. The army opened fire on the unarmed
civilians, killing and injuring thousands of people. The massacre shocked and
outraged the nation and the world, and ignited a massive popular uprising that
spread across the country.

The uprising was led by the Democratic Alliance of China (DAC), a broad coalition
of pro-democracy groups that emerged as the main voice of the opposition movement.
The DAC was composed of various groups and factions, such as the Federation of
Independent Trade Unions, the China Democracy Party, the China Human Rights League,
and the Great Leap Childrens. The DAC organized and mobilized the people for
peaceful protests and civil disobedience, and also prepared for armed resistance,
in case the CPC resorted to violence. The DAC also established a network of
communication and coordination, and formed a provisional leadership council, headed
by Liu Xiaobo, a prominent dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate⁵[5].

The uprising reached its climax on July 1st, 1983, when the DAC launched a
coordinated attack on the key centers of power in Beijing and other major cities,
including the Zhongnanhai compound, where the top leaders of the CPC resided, the
Great Hall of the People, where the National People's Congress met, and the
headquarters of the People's Liberation Army, the main pillar of the CPC's
authority. The attack caught the CPC off guard, as it was paralyzed by internal
divisions and confusion following Deng's death. The CPC tried to resist and
retaliate, but it was outnumbered and outmatched by the rebels⁶[6]. It also faced
the wrath and resistance of the people, who rose up against it and helped the
rebels⁷[7]. The CPC's leaders and officials either fled the country, or were
captured or killed by the rebels⁸[8]⁹[9]. Some of them committed suicide, rather
than face the consequences of their crimes[^10^][10].

By July 4th, 1983, the DAC had taken control of most of the country, and declared
the end of the CPC's rule and the beginning of a new era of democracy and freedom.
They announced the formation of a provisional government, headed by Liu Xiaobo, who
was elected by the provisional leadership council¹¹[11]. The provisional government
promised to hold free and fair elections within a year, and to draft a new
constitution that would guarantee civil liberties and human rights¹²[12]. It also
pledged to pursue a peaceful and cooperative relationship with the rest of the
world, especially with the United States, which had supported the democratic
movement and imposed sanctions on the CPC¹³[13]¹⁴[14].

### Post-Democratic Revolution

The post-democratic revolution period was marked by the consolidation and
institutionalization of the new political and social order in China, as well as the
reconstruction and development of the economy and society. The provisional
government, with the support and participation of the people, carried out the
following main tasks and achievements:

- The drafting and adoption of the new constitution, which was approved by a
national referendum on December 25th, 1983. The new constitution established China
as a federal republic, with a multiparty democracy, a presidential system, and a
bicameral legislature. The new constitution also guaranteed the civil liberties and
human rights of the people, such as freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion,
and association, and the abolition of censorship, surveillance, and arbitrary
detention¹⁶[16]. The new constitution also recognized the diversity and equality of
all ethnic groups, cultures, languages, and religions in China, and granted
autonomy and self-government to the provinces, autonomous regions, and
municipalities¹⁷[17].
- The holding of the first general elections, which were held on March 15th, 1984.
The elections were free and fair, and were monitored by international observers.
The elections resulted in the victory of the DAC, which won the majority of the
seats in both houses of the National Assembly, the supreme legislative body of the
country, and the presidency. Liu Xiaobo was elected as the first president of the
Federal Republic of China, and Wang Dan, a former student leader and a spokesperson
of the DAC, was elected as the first prime minister. The DAC also formed a
coalition government with other political parties, such as the Democratic Socialist
Party of China (DSPC), the Green Party of China (GPC), and the Liberal Party of
China (LPC), which represented the reformist, environmentalist, and capitalist
factions of the former CPC, respectively.
- The signing of the peace treaty, which was signed on July 15th, 1984, in Hong
Kong. The treaty recognized the sovereignty and independence of six distinct
entities, namely Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the Democratic
Federation of China (DFC). The DFC was a new country that consisted of all of
China's territories excluding Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. The
treaty also established the Confederation of East Asia, a new political and
security framework that enhanced the cooperation and coordination among the seven
parties on issues of common concern, such as trade, investment, energy,
environment, and human rights¹⁸[18]. The confederation also sought to maintain a
peaceful and stable relationship with the rest of the world, especially with the
United States, which had supported the democratic movement and imposed sanctions on
the CPC¹⁵[15]¹³[13].
- The implementation of the Economic Liberalization and Industrialization Act of
1985, which was passed by the National Assembly on January 1st, 1985. The act aimed
to transform China's economy from a planned and closed system to a market and open
system, and to promote the industrialization and modernization of the country. The
act consisted of the following main measures:

#### The Economic Liberalization and Industrialization Act of 1985

The Economic Liberalization and Industrialization Act of 1985 was passed by the new
government of DFC. It was proposed initially by Li Peng, Minister of Economy of the
Democratic Federation of China at that time in the article named "China's New Path
to Prosperity: Liberalization and Industrialization." The Act itself proposed that
- The need to consolidate and deepen the economic reforms initiated by Deng
Xiaoping and continued by the provisional government, and to overcome the
challenges and problems caused by the transition from a planned economy to a market
economy.
- The need to integrate the DFC into the global economy and to expand its trade
and investment with the rest of the world, especially with the members of the East
Asian Economic Community (EAEC), a regional bloc established by China, Japan,
Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau in 1983.
- The need to promote the industrialization and modernization of the DFC and to
upgrade its industrial structure and technological level, and to compete with the
advanced countries in the fields of high-tech and high-value-added sectors¹[1].
The Act itself was the industrial policy of China and it stated that
- The reduction of the role of the state in the economy and the encouragement
of the private sector, especially the small and medium enterprises, and the
protection of the property rights and intellectual rights of the private
businesses³[3].
- The lowering of the tariffs and barriers to trade, and the elimination of the
subsidies and preferences to domestic industries, and the joining of the World
Trade Organization and the adherence to its rules and norms⁴[4]⁵[5].
- The focus on developing the high-tech and high-value-added sectors, such as
information technology, biotechnology, aerospace, and renewable energy, and the
investment in research and development, and the enhancement of the scientific and
educational capabilities⁶[6]⁷[7].
- The establishment of the Guangdong Special Economic Area (GSEA) as a pilot
and model for the economic reform and development, and the strengthening of its
cooperation and integration with Hong Kong and Macao, and the formation of a
dynamic and prosperous Greater Bay Area⁸[8]⁹[9].

The democratic revolution and the peace treaty in China had a profound and lasting
impact on the development and transformation of the Democratic Federation of China
(DFC), one of the six entities that emerged from the former Communist Party of
China. The DFC, which consisted of the three special economic zones of Shenzhen,
Zhuhai, and Shantou, as well as the surrounding areas of Guangdong, achieved
remarkable economic and social progress in the following decades, such as:
- **Economic Growth**: The DFC maintained a rapid and sustained growth of its
economy, which averaged 10% annually from 1985 to 2015, and made it the second
largest economy in the world after the United States, and the largest trading
partner of many countries and regions. The DFC also became a global leader in high-
tech and high-value-added sectors, such as information technology, biotechnology,
aerospace, and renewable energy¹¹[11].
- **Social Development**: The DFC improved the living standards and the social
welfare of its people, and reduced the income and wealth gaps among its regions and
social groups. The DFC also fostered a large and affluent middle class, which
enjoyed a high level of education, health, and consumption. The DFC also protected
the rights and interests of the workers, farmers, and other vulnerable groups, and
encouraged their participation and representation in the political and economic
decision-making[10].
- **Global Influence**: The DFC enhanced its competitiveness and influence in the
world, and contributed to the peace and development of mankind. The DFC also played
a leading and cooperative role in the fields of innovation, environment, and human
rights. The DFC was an active and respected member of the Confederation of East
Asia, the East Asian Economic Community, and other regional and international
organizations¹¹[11].

### The Chinese Miracle

The **Chinese Miracle** is the term used to describe the remarkable economic and
social transformation of the Democratic Federation of China (DFC) in the past three
decades, which made it one of the most prosperous and advanced countries in the
world, and a model and inspiration for many developing countries. The term was
coined by the international media and the academic community, who were impressed
and amazed by the achievements and the progress of the DFC, and who sought to
explain and understand the factors and the forces behind its success¹[1]. The term
was also adopted and popularized by the DFC’s government and the people, who were
proud and confident of their accomplishments and their potential, and who used it
to express their vision and their aspiration for the future¹[1].

The DFC’s economic and social development was enabled by the political and economic
reforms that were initiated by Deng Xiaoping and continued by the provisional
government and the Liberal Party, which created a democratic and market-oriented
system that unleashed the potential and the vitality of the economy and the
society²[2]. The DFC adopted a multiparty democracy and a federal system, which
ensured the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the respect for human
rights³[3]. The DFC also implemented market-oriented economic reforms, which
reduced the role of the state in the economy, and encouraged private enterprise,
entrepreneurship, and innovation⁴[4]. The DFC also fostered a fair and competitive
market environment, and prevented the emergence of monopolies and cartels²[2]⁵[5].

The DFC’s economic and social development was also facilitated by the integration
and cooperation with the rest of the world, especially with the members of the East
Asian Economic Community (EAEC) and the Confederation of East Asia, which opened up
new opportunities and markets for the DFC, and which brought in foreign capital and
technology, and fostered a culture of learning and exchange⁶[6]. The DFC joined the
World Trade Organization and abided by its rules and norms⁷[7]. The DFC also
lowered its tariffs and barriers to trade, and eliminated its subsidies and
preferences to domestic industries⁸[8]. The DFC also welcomed foreign capital and
technology, and created a level playing field for foreign and domestic firms⁹[9].
The DFC also respected and enforced the international standards and agreements on
labor, environment, and human rights³[3][^10^][10].

The DFC’s economic and social development was also boosted by the industrialization
and modernization of the DFC, and the upgrading of its industrial structure and
technological level, which enabled the DFC to produce and export high-quality and
high-value-added goods and services, and to compete with the advanced countries in
the fields of innovation and excellence¹¹[11]. The DFC focused on developing the
high-tech and high-value-added sectors, such as information technology,
biotechnology, aerospace, and renewable energy¹²[12]. The DFC also improved the
quality and efficiency of its traditional sectors, such as agriculture,
manufacturing, and services¹³[13]. The DFC also invested more in research and
development, and enhanced its scientific and educational capabilities¹⁴[14]. The
DFC also fostered a culture of creativity and excellence, and attracted and
retained the best talents from home and abroad⁴[4]¹⁵[15].

The DFC’s economic and social development was also supported by the human capital
and social capital of the DFC, which consisted of the hard-working,
entrepreneurial, and creative people, and the strong, stable, and harmonious
society, which provided the foundation and the support for the economic and social
development¹⁶[16]. The DFC, despite its remarkable achievements and prospects, also
faces many challenges and risks that may threaten its success and survival in the
future¹⁷[17]. These challenges and risks include:

- **Demographic and environmental issues**: The DFC has an aging population and a
low birth rate, which may reduce its labor force and increase its social security
costs. The DFC also has a high rate of urbanization, which may cause congestion,
pollution, and social problems in the cities. The DFC also faces the depletion and
scarcity of natural resources, such as water, oil, and minerals, which may raise
its production costs and dependence on imports. The DFC also suffers from the
effects and consequences of climate change, such as droughts, floods, storms, and
diseases, which may damage its agriculture, infrastructure, and health⁵[5].
- **Social and political issues**: The DFC has a problem of corruption and
malfeasance among some of its public officials and entities, which may erode the
trust and confidence of the people and the investors. The DFC also has a problem of
inequality and injustice among some of its regions and social groups, which may
cause discontent and resentment among the poor and the marginalized. The DFC also
has a problem of diversity and identity among some of its ethnic groups, cultures,
languages, and religions, which may create tension and conflict among the different
and the distinct. The DFC also has a problem of democracy and participation among
some of its citizens and parties, which may challenge the legitimacy and the
stability of its system and its government⁶[6].
- **Economic and global issues**: The DFC has a problem of competition and
innovation in the global market, which may threaten its growth and development. The
DFC faces the rise and the rivalry of other countries and regions, such as the
United States, the European Union, India, and Brazil, which may challenge its
position and influence in the world. The DFC also faces the need and the pressure
of integration and cooperation in the global community, which may limit its
autonomy and sovereignty in the world. The DFC also faces the possibility and the
risk of conflict and war in the world, which may endanger its security and peace in
the world⁷[7].

Therefore, the DFC needs to address these challenges and risks with wisdom and
courage, and to seek solutions and opportunities that can enhance its resilience
and competitiveness¹⁸[18]. The DFC needs to balance the goals of efficiency and
equity, of growth and sustainability, of openness and sovereignty, and of diversity
and unity. The DFC needs to pursue a path of development that is harmonious and
inclusive, that is innovative and adaptive, that is peaceful and cooperative, and
that is proud and confident⁸[8].

## States and Subdivisions

The Democratic Federation of China (DFC) is a federal republic that consists of 28

states, four special administrative regions, and 12 autonomous areas. These
administrative divisions have different levels of autonomy and self-government,
depending on their historical, cultural, and political characteristics. The DFC's
federal system is based on the principle of subsidiarity, which means that the
matters that can be handled by the lower levels of government are delegated to
them, while the matters that require the coordination and cooperation of the higher
levels of government are reserved for them.

### States

The states are the primary units of the federal system, and have their own
constitutions, governments, legislatures, and courts²[2]. The states are
responsible for most of the domestic affairs, such as education, health, social
welfare, public security, and environmental protection. The states also have the
right to enact their own laws and policies, as long as they do not contradict the
national constitution and the principles of democracy and human rights³[3]. The
states are represented in the National Assembly, the unicameral parliament of the
DFC, by proportional representation⁴[4]. The states are also entitled to receive
fiscal transfers from the central government, based on their population, area, and
economic development.

There are 28 states in the DFC, which are divided into five regions: Northeast,
North, East, Central, and South⁵[5]. The regions are not administrative units, but
rather geographical and cultural classifications. The regions have their own
regional councils, which are consultative and cooperative bodies that facilitate
the communication and coordination among the states within each region. The regions
also have their own regional development plans, which aim to promote the balanced
and sustainable development of the states within each region.

The following is a list of the states and their capitals, regions, and
abbreviations:

### Special Administrative Regions

The special administrative regions are the secondary units of the federal system,
and have a high degree of autonomy and self-government¹[1]. The special
administrative regions have their own charters, governments, legislatures, and
courts, and can exercise more powers and functions than the states, except for
those related to foreign affairs and defense⁶[6]. The special administrative
regions are also exempt from some of the national laws and regulations, and can
enjoy some special privileges and preferential policies. The special administrative
regions are represented in the National Assembly by direct election, and have a
fixed number of seats. The special administrative regions are also entitled to
retain most of their revenues, and to receive financial support from the central
government.

There are four special administrative regions in the DFC: Shenzhen, Shanghai,
Chongqing, and Hainan⁷[7]. These special administrative regions have different
origins and characteristics, and play different roles and functions in the DFC.

- Shenzhen: Shenzhen is the capital and the seat of the national government of the
DFC⁷[7]. It is also the political, cultural, and historical center of the country.
Shenzhen was designated as a special administrative region in 1983, after the

country. Chongqing was designated as a special administrative region in 1997, as
part of the Western Development Strategy, which aimed to boost the economic and
social development of the western regions, and to reduce the regional disparities
and imbalances in the DFC. Chongqing has a special opportunity and potential in the
DFC, as it exploits its rich natural and human resources, and develops its
strategic and emerging industries, such as automobile, electronics, and
biotechnology. Chongqing also has a special challenge and responsibility, as it
faces the problems and pressures of urbanization, such as congestion, pollution,
and inequality.
- Hainan: Hainan is the southernmost and the smallest province in the DFC. It is
also the tropical and maritime paradise of the country. Hainan was designated as a
special administrative region in 1988, as part of the Open Door Policy, which aimed
to open up the country to the outside world and to attract foreign investment and
tourism. Hainan has a special attraction and advantage in the DFC, as it boasts its
beautiful and diverse natural scenery, such as beaches, mountains, forests, and
islands, and its rich and unique cultural diversity, such as the Li, Miao, and Hui
ethnic groups. Hainan also has a special goal and aspiration, as it seeks to become
an international tourist destination and a green and low-carbon model, while
protecting its ecological and cultural environment.

jobs, and to enhance their skills and competitiveness²⁴[24].

OK, I will continue to write the fictional Wikipedia article about the Democratic
Federation of China, based on the web page context. Here is what I have written so
far:

## Foreign Relations
The Democratic Federation of China (DFC) is a sovereign and independent country
that conducts its own foreign and defense policies, and maintains diplomatic
relations with most countries and organizations in the world. The DFC is also a
member of various regional and international forums and agreements, such as the
East Asian Economic Community (EAEC), the Confederation of East Asia (CEA), the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC), and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)¹[1]. The DFC's
foreign relations are guided by the principles of peace, democracy, and human
rights, and reflect the interests and values of the DFC and its people²[2].

### Recognition and Membership

The DFC was established in 1983, after the democratic revolution that overthrew the
Communist Party of China, which had ruled the country since 1949³[3]. The DFC was
recognized by most countries and organizations, and became a member of the United
Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World
Bank, and other multilateral institutions⁴[4]. The DFC also joined various regional
and bilateral forums and agreements, such as the EAEC, the CEA, the ASEAN, the
APEC, and the SCO, and established diplomatic relations with most countries and
regions, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and
Macau, which are its main allies and partners.

### Relations and Cooperation

The DFC maintains friendly and constructive relations with most countries and
regions, and seeks to promote peace, democracy, and human rights in the world²[2].
The DFC also cooperates with other countries and regions on various issues and
challenges, such as trade, investment, energy, environment, security, and human
rights⁶[6]. The DFC has especially close and strategic ties with the United States,
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, which are its main allies and
partners⁷[7]. The DFC and these countries and regions share common values and
interests, and support each other on regional and global affairs. The DFC and these
countries and regions also have frequent and high-level exchanges and
consultations, and conduct joint exercises and operations, to enhance their mutual
trust and cooperation.

The DFC also has cordial and respectful relations with other countries and regions,
such as the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh,
Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan,
Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen,
Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba. The
DFC and these countries and regions have different but complementary views and
interests, and seek to expand and deepen their cooperation and dialogue on various
fields and sectors, such as trade, investment, energy, environment, security, and
human rights⁶[6]. The DFC and these countries and regions also have regular and
low-level exchanges and communications, and participate in various multilateral and
bilateral forums and agreements, to foster their mutual understanding and
cooperation.

### Disputes and Conflicts

The DFC and Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have a complex and
delicate relationship, which is based on the 1984 Peace Treaty, which recognized
the sovereignty and independence of these six entities, and established the CEA, a
new political and security framework for the region[^10^][10]. The DFC and these
six entities have different and diverse ethnic groups, cultures, languages, and
religions, and have different and varying degrees of autonomy and self-
government¹¹[11]. The DFC and these six entities also have different and evolving
views and aspirations on their identity and future, and have different and changing
levels of support and opposition to the CEA and the DFC. The DFC and these six
entities have no formal diplomatic relations, and communicate through the CEA,
which has a rotating presidency, a council of ministers, and a secretariat, and
holds regular summits and meetings to discuss and decide on matters of regional
importance. The DFC and these six entities also have frequent and high-level
exchanges and consultations, and conduct joint exercises and operations, to enhance
their mutual trust and cooperation. The DFC and these six entities also have
extensive and deep cooperation and integration on various fields and sectors, such
as trade, investment, energy, environment, security, and human rights, which are
facilitated by the EAEC, which is a regional bloc that promotes free trade,
investment, and cooperation among its members⁶[6]. The DFC and these six entities
also have some disputes and conflicts over some issues, such as the status and
identity of these entities, the interpretation and implementation of the 1984 Peace
Treaty and the CEA, and the rights and interests of the minorities and the people
in these entities. The DFC and these six entities try to resolve these disputes and
conflicts through dialogue and negotiation, and to respect and protect the
diversity and equality of all ethnic groups, cultures, languages, and religions in
East Asia⁹[9].

The DFC and North Korea, Iran, Russia, India, and Pakistan have a tense and
difficult relationship, which is influenced by the historical and geopolitical
factors, as well as by the current and emerging issues and challenges. The DFC and
these countries and regions have different and incompatible political systems,
ideologies, and values, and have different or opposing views and interests on
regional and global affairs. The DFC and these countries and regions also have
territorial and sovereignty disputes over some areas, such as the Korean Peninsula,
the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Himalayas, and Kashmir, which have led
to some military and diplomatic confrontations and crises, such as the 1950-1953
Korean War, the 1962 Sino-Indian War, the 1969 Sino-Soviet Border Conflict, the
1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War, the 1987 Sino-Indian
Skirmish, the 1999 Kargil War, the 2001-2002 India-Pakistan Standoff, the 2008
Mumbai Attacks, the 2014 Crimea Annexation, the 2017 Doklam Standoff, the 2019
Pulwama Attack, and the 2020 Galwan Valley Clash. The DFC tries to manage and
resolve these disputes and conflicts through dialogue and negotiation, and to avoid
the use of force or threat of force¹[1]. However, the DFC also maintains a strong
and credible military and nuclear deterrence, and is prepared to defend its
sovereignty and security in case of any aggression or provocation. The DFC also
seeks to engage and cooperate with these countries and regions on some areas of
common interest and concern, such as economic development, trade, energy,
environment, counter-terrorism, and non-proliferation, and to build mutual trust
and understanding²[2]. The DFC hopes to establish a peaceful and stable
relationship with these countries and regions, based on mutual respect and mutual
benefit³[3].

### Confederation of East Asia

The Confederation of East Asia (CEA) is a political and security framework that was
established in 1984 by China and six distinct entities: Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong,
Macau, Taiwan, and the Democratic Federation of China¹[1]²[2]. The CEA aims to
promote peace, stability, and cooperation in the region, while respecting the
sovereignty and diversity of its members.

#### History
The CEA was formed as a result of the democratic revolution that overthrew the
Communist Party of China in 1983, which led to the emergence of seven independent
states in East Asia. The revolution was sparked by the death of Deng Xiaoping, the
former leader of China, who had initiated a series of economic and social reforms
that opened up China to the outside world and improved the living standards of many
Chinese people³[3]. However, he also faced strong opposition from the conservative
faction within the party, which feared losing its monopoly on power and resisted
any changes that would threaten its interests⁴[4].

After Deng's death, the conservative faction, led by President Li Xiannian and
Premier Zhao Ziyang, tried to consolidate its control over the party and the
country, and to reverse some of Deng's reforms⁵[5]. They also tried to crack down
on the growing dissent and unrest among the people, especially the students and
intellectuals, who were dissatisfied with the lack of political freedom and human
rights, and who were influenced by the democratic movements in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union⁶[6].

The conservative faction's policies provoked a backlash from the reformist faction
within the party, which was led by General Secretary Hu Jintao and Vice Premier Wan
Li⁷[7]. They advocated continuing and deepening Deng's reforms, and supported the
demands of the people for more democracy and human rights⁸[8]. They also tried to
negotiate with the Democratic Alliance of China, a broad coalition of pro-democracy
groups that emerged as the main voice of the opposition movement⁹[9].

The reformist faction's efforts, however, were blocked and sabotaged by the
conservative faction, which accused them of being traitors and conspirators[^10^]
[10]. The conservative faction also mobilized the military and the police to
suppress the protests and demonstrations that erupted across the country, using
violence and intimidation. The situation escalated into a civil war, as the
reformist faction and the Democratic Alliance of China formed an alliance and
fought against the conservative faction and its loyalists.

The civil war lasted for several months, and resulted in millions of casualties and
widespread destruction. The turning point came on July 1st, 1983, when the
reformist-Democratic Alliance alliance launched a coordinated attack on the key
centers of power in Beijing and other major cities, such as the Zhongnanhai
compound, where the top leaders of the Communist Party resided, the Great Hall of
the People, where the National People's Congress met, and the headquarters of the
People's Liberation Army, the main pillar of the regime's authority¹¹[11]. The
attack caught the conservative faction off guard, as it was paralyzed by internal
divisions and confusion¹²[12]. The attack also received the support and assistance
of the United States, which had been secretly backing the democratic movement in
China¹³[13].
The attack succeeded in capturing and overthrowing the conservative faction, and in
establishing the control and legitimacy of the reformist-Democratic Alliance
alliance. The alliance then declared the formation of the Democratic Federation of
China (DFC), a federal republic that was headed by Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the
Democratic Alliance and the head of the provisional government in Shenzhen¹⁴[14].
The DFC also announced the dissolution of the Communist Party of China, and the
holding of free and fair elections for a new constitution and a new government.

The DFC, therefore, faced the challenge and the dilemma of how to deal with these
regions and territories, and how to achieve the unity and the stability of the
country. The DFC also faced the pressure and the expectation of the international
community, which had recognized and supported the DFC, and which had urged the DFC
to respect and protect the rights and interests of these regions and territories.

The DFC decided to adopt a peaceful and constructive approach towards these regions
and territories, and to resolve any disputes or differences through dialogue and
negotiation¹⁵[15]. The DFC also decided to propose the establishment of a new
political and security framework for the region, which would recognize the
sovereignty and independence of these regions and territories, and which would
enhance the cooperation and coordination among them on issues of common concern.
The DFC also decided to invite these regions and territories to join the East Asian
Economic Community (EAEC), a regional bloc that had been established in 1983 by
China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau, to promote free
trade, investment, and cooperation among its members¹⁶[16].

The DFC's proposal was welcomed and accepted by most of these regions and
territories, which saw it as a reasonable and realistic solution to their
situation, and which appreciated the DFC's respect and recognition of their status
and identity. The DFC's proposal was also endorsed and supported by the
international community, which saw it as a positive and constructive step towards
the peace and stability of the region, and which praised the DFC's leadership and
vision. The DFC had to maintain and strengthen its relations and cooperation with
these regions and territories, and to address and resolve any issues or problems
that might arise among them¹⁸[18]. The DFC also had to implement and consolidate
its proposal, and to establish and develop the new political and security framework
for the region.

The DFC's proposal was officially implemented and finalized on December 1st, 1984,
when the DFC and the six regions and territories signed the Treaty of Shenzhen,
which established the Confederation of East Asia (CEA). The CEA was a confederation
of seven sovereign states: Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the
DFC¹⁹[19]. The CEA recognized the sovereignty and independence of the seven states,
and granted them the right to conduct their own foreign and defense policies, as
well as to manage their own internal affairs[^20^][20]. The CEA also affirmed the
diversity and equality of all ethnic groups, cultures, languages, and religions in
East Asia, and pledged to respect and protect the rights and interests of all
minorities²¹[21]. The CEA also aimed to enhance the cooperation and coordination
among the seven states on issues of common concern, such as trade, investment,
energy, environment, and human rights. The CEA also sought to maintain a peaceful
and stable relationship with the rest of the world, especially with the United
States, which had supported the democratic movement in China¹³[13].

#### Structure and Function

The CEA has a simple and flexible structure and function, which reflects its nature
and purpose as a confederation of sovereign states. The CEA has three main organs:
the Presidency, the Council, and the Secretariat.

- The Presidency: The Presidency is the highest authority and the symbol of the
CEA. The Presidency is held by the head of state or government of one of the seven
states, on a rotating basis, for a term of one year. The Presidency represents the
CEA in the world, sets the agenda and the priorities of the CEA, and chairs the
meetings of the Council. The Presidency also appoints the Secretary-General, who
leads the Secretariat and the Confederation Government.
- The Council: The Council is the main decision-making and policy-making body of
the CEA. The Council consists of the heads of state or government of the seven
states, or their representatives. The Council meets regularly, at least twice a
year, to discuss and decide on the major issues and challenges facing the CEA, such
as the economy, the environment, the security, and the external relations. The
Council also proposes legislation to the East Asian Parliament, and adopts
regulations and directives to implement the policies and decisions of the CEA. The
Council makes decisions by consensus, or by qualified majority, depending on the
issue and the treaty.
- The Secretariat: The Secretariat is the executive and administrative arm of the
CEA. The Secretariat consists of the Secretary-General, who is the head of the
Secretariat and the Confederation Government, and the Confederation Commissioners,
who are the heads of the Confederation Departments. The Secretariat is based in
Shenzhen, the capital and the largest city of the DFC22. The Secretariat leads the
administration and the implementation of the policies and decisions of the CEA, and
coordinates the work of the Confederation Departments. The Secretariat also assists
and supports the Presidency and the Council, and liaises with the East Asian
Parliament and other institutions and organizations. The Secretariat is appointed
by the Presidency, with the approval of the Council and the Parliament, for a term
of five years.

### East Asian Economic Community

The East Asian Economic Community (EAEC) is a regional bloc that was established in
1983 by China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau, to
promote free trade, investment, and cooperation among its members¹[1]. The EAEC is
based on the model of the European Economic Community, and aims to create a common
market and a single currency in the future²[2]. The EAEC also seeks to coordinate
its policies and positions on regional and global issues, and to enhance its voice
and role in the international arena³[3].

#### History
The EAEC was conceived and proposed by China, which had undergone a democratic
revolution and a market-oriented reform in 1983, and sought to improve its
relations and integration with its East Asian neighbors. China invited Japan, South
Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau to join the EAEC, and later extended the
invitation to Singapore, which had close economic and cultural ties with the
region. The EAEC was formally established on July 20, 1983, at a historic summit in
Shenzhen, where the leaders of the seven entities signed the Treaty of East Asian
Economic Cooperation, which laid out the objectives, principles, and institutions
of the EAEC.

#### Objectives

The EAEC has the following main objectives:

- To promote economic integration and cooperation among the members, and to create
a single market and a common currency in the region.
- To enhance the competitiveness and influence of the members in the global
economy, and to foster innovation and excellence in the fields of science and
technology.
- To reduce the economic and social disparities and inequalities among the members,
and to support the sustainable and inclusive development of the region.
- To strengthen the cultural and people-to-people exchanges and interactions among
the members, and to foster a sense of identity and solidarity in the region.
- To contribute to the peace and stability of the region and the world, and to

consists of the commissioners appointed by the seven members. The commission is
headed by a president, who is elected by the council. The commission proposes and
executes the legislation and programs of the EAEC, and represents the EAEC in
external relations.
- The East Asian Parliament, which is the legislative body of the EAEC, and
consists of the representatives elected by the people of the seven members. The
parliament has 300 seats, which are allocated according to the population of each
member⁶[6]. The parliament enacts the laws and approves the budget of the EAEC, and
oversees the activities of the council and the commission.
- The East Asian Court of Justice, which is the judicial body of the EAEC, and
consists of the judges appointed by the seven members. The court interprets and
applies the laws and treaties of the EAEC, and settles the disputes and cases
involving the EAEC and its members.

#### Achievements

The EAEC has achieved remarkable economic and social progress in the past three
decades, such as:

- Economic Growth: The EAEC has maintained a rapid and sustained growth of its
economy, which averaged 8% annually from 1983 to 2013, and made it the largest
economic bloc in the world, with a GDP of about $30 trillion and a trade volume of
about $15 trillion. The EAEC also became a global leader in high-tech and high-
value-added sectors, such as information technology, biotechnology, aerospace, and
renewable energy¹[1]⁵[5]⁶[6].
- Economic Integration: The EAEC has achieved a high level of economic integration
and cooperation among its members, and created a single market and a common
currency in the region. The EAEC also eliminated the tariffs and barriers to trade,
and harmonized the standards and regulations of the goods and services in the
region⁷[7]. The EAEC also facilitated the free movement of people, capital, and
technology in the region²[2].
- Social Development: The EAEC has improved the living standards and the social
welfare of its people, and reduced the income and wealth gaps among its
members⁸[8]. The EAEC also fostered a large and affluent middle class, which
enjoyed a high level of education, health, and consumption⁹[9]. The EAEC also
protected the rights and interests of the workers, farmers, and other vulnerable
groups, and encouraged their participation and representation in the political and
economic decision-making³[3][^10^][10].
- Cultural Exchange: The EAEC has strengthened the cultural and people-to-people
exchanges and interactions among its members, and fostered a sense of identity and
solidarity in the region. The EAEC also promoted and supported the cultural
diversity and heritage of the region, and encouraged and facilitated the artistic
and creative expression and activities of the people⁴[4].
- Global Influence: The EAEC has enhanced its competitiveness and influence in the
world, and contributed to the peace and development of mankind¹¹[11]. The EAEC also
played a leading and cooperative role in the fields of innovation, environment, and
human rights¹²[12]. The EAEC was an active and respected member of the United
Nations, the World Trade Organization, and other regional and international
organizations

#### East Asian Dollar

The East Asian Dollar (EAD) is a proposed common currency for the members of the
East Asian Economic Community (EAEC), which are China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea,
Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau. The EAD is intended to facilitate trade,
investment, and cooperation among the EAEC members, and to enhance their economic
and financial integration and stability. The EAD is also expected to increase the
influence and role of the EAEC in the global market and the international arena.

The idea of creating a common currency for East Asia was first suggested by China
in 1983, as part of its proposal to establish the EAEC. China argued that a common
currency would reduce the transaction costs and exchange rate risks among the EAEC
members, and would promote their economic convergence and competitiveness. China
also claimed that a common currency would strengthen the solidarity and identity of
the EAEC members, and would reflect their common values and interests.

The proposal was supported by most of the EAEC members, especially Japan, South
Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, which had close economic and trade ties with
China, and which had similar levels of economic development and performance. The
proposal was also endorsed by the United States, which had recognized and backed
the democratic movement in China.
The proposal, however, faced some challenges and difficulties, such as the
technical and institutional requirements, the political and public opinions, and
the external and internal pressures. The EAEC members had to agree on the criteria
and the mechanism for the adoption and the management of the common currency, such
as the exchange rate system, the monetary policy, the fiscal policy, the central
bank, and the budget. The EAEC members also had to convince and persuade their
people and their governments of the benefits and the feasibility of the common
currency, and to address and overcome their concerns and objections.

The EAEC members decided to adopt a gradual and pragmatic approach towards the
creation of the common currency, and to follow the model and the experience of the
European Economic Community, which had successfully introduced the euro in 1999.
The EAEC members agreed to establish and maintain a stable and favorable exchange
rate system among their currencies, and to peg them to a basket of major
currencies, such as the US dollar, the euro, and the yen. The EAEC members also
agreed to harmonize and coordinate their economic and trade policies and
regulations, and to adopt common standards and rules that ensure fair and
transparent practices. The EAEC members also agreed to cooperate and consult with
each other on regional and global issues and challenges, such as security,
environment, energy, human rights, and development, and to represent and defend
their common interests and values in the international arena.

The EAEC members planned to introduce the common currency, the East Asian Dollar,
by 1990, after fulfilling the necessary conditions and criteria, and after
obtaining the approval and the support of their people and their governments. The
EAEC members also planned to establish the East Asian Central Bank, which would be
based in Hong Kong, and which would manage the monetary policy and the currency
supply of the EAEC. The EAEC members also planned to create the East Asian Budget,
which would be funded by the contributions of the EAEC members, and which would
finance the projects and programs of the EAEC.

The EAEC members hoped that the common currency, the East Asian Dollar, would be a
success and a milestone for the EAEC and for East Asia, and that it would bring
more benefits and opportunities for their economies and their peoples. The EAEC
members also hoped that the common currency, the East Asian Dollar, would be a
symbol and a manifestation of their unity and their identity, and that it would
reflect their vision and their ambition for the region and the world.

Here is a possible response:

## Science and Technology

The Democratic Federation of China (DFC) is a world leader and innovator in the
fields of science and technology, and has made significant contributions and
achievements in various domains, such as space, telecommunication, transport,
energy, water, and biotechnology. The DFC has a well-developed and comprehensive
scientific and technological system, which consists of various institutions,
policies, and programs, that support and promote the research, development, and
application of science and technology. The DFC also values and invests in the
education, training, and development of its scientific and technological workforce,
and fosters a culture of creativity, curiosity, and collaboration among its
scientists and engineers¹[1]. The DFC also cooperates and exchanges with other
countries and regions on scientific and technological issues and challenges, and
seeks to use science and technology for the benefit of humanity and the
environment²[2].

### Historical
The history of science and technology in the DFC can be traced back to the ancient
times, when China was one of the four great ancient civilizations, and produced
many inventions and discoveries, such as paper, printing, gunpowder, the compass,
and the abacus. The DFC inherited and preserved this rich and diverse scientific
and technological heritage, and continued to develop and innovate in the fields of
mathematics, astronomy, medicine, chemistry, and engineering, among others. The DFC
also absorbed and assimilated the scientific and technological knowledge and
achievements of other cultures and civilizations, such as India, Persia, Arabia,
and Europe, and integrated them with its own traditions and practices.

### Post-Democratic Revolution Era

The DFC experienced a rapid and remarkable transformation and advancement in
science and technology after the democratic revolution of 1983, which overthrew the
Communist Party of China and established a federal republic³[3]. The democratic
revolution unleashed the potential and creativity of the Chinese people, and
created a favorable and conducive environment for the development and application
of science and technology. The DFC adopted a series of policies and measures to
reform and modernize its scientific and technological system, such as:
- Establishing the Ministry of Science and Technology, which is the highest
authority and coordinator of the national scientific and technological affairs, and
which formulates and implements the national scientific and technological plans,
strategies, and budgets.
- Creating the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which is the main
funding agency and supporter of the basic and applied research in the natural
sciences, and which awards grants and fellowships to the researchers and
institutions based on the merit and quality of their proposals and projects.
- Building the National High-Tech Development Program, which is the main driver and
promoter of the high-tech and strategic industries, such as information technology,
biotechnology, aerospace, and renewable energy, and which provides funding,
incentives, and guidance to the enterprises and organizations involved in these
sectors.
- Developing the National Key Laboratories, which are the centers of excellence and
innovation in various fields of science and technology, and which conduct cutting-
edge and frontier research, and provide training and education to the researchers
and students.
- Expanding the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is the largest and most
prestigious scientific and technological institution in the country, and which
consists of hundreds of research institutes, laboratories, and universities, and
thousands of researchers, scholars, and academicians, who conduct and publish the
scientific and technological research, and advise and consult the government and
the society on scientific and technological issues and policies.

### Space Program

The DFC has a well-developed and ambitious space program, which is administered by
the China National Space Administration (CNSA)⁴[4]. The DFC has launched several
satellites, probes, and rockets into orbit, and has also participated in
international space missions and collaborations⁵[5]. The DFC's most notable
achievements in space include:
- The launch of the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space in 2003, aboard
the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft⁶[6].
- The completion of the Tiangong space station, which consists of three modules and
can accommodate up to six crew members, in 2012⁷[7].
- The landing of the Chang'e 4 probe and the Yutu 2 rover on the far side of the
moon, the first in human history, in 2019⁸[8].
- The launch of the Tianwen 1 mission, which consists of an orbiter, a lander, and
a rover, to explore Mars, in 2020⁹[9].
- The development of the Long March 9 rocket, which is capable of carrying heavy
payloads and manned missions to the moon and beyond, in 2021[^10^][10].

### Energy
The DFC is a major producer and consumer of energy, and has a diverse and balanced
energy mix, which includes coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, and
biomass¹[1]. The DFC is also a leader and innovator in the field of renewable and
clean energy, and has set ambitious targets and policies to reduce its greenhouse
gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels¹[1]²[2]. The DFC's energy sector is
also characterized by the involvement of both state-owned and private enterprises,
as well as foreign and domestic investors, which provide capital, technology, and
expertise³[3]. The DFC's energy sector is also subject to strict regulation and
supervision by the government, which ensures the safety, security, and efficiency
of the energy supply and demand⁴[4]⁵[5]. Some of the DFC's notable energy projects
and achievements include:

- The construction of the Three Gorges Dam, which is the largest hydroelectric
power station in the world, and provides electricity and flood control for the
Yangtze River basin, in 2006.
- The development of the Shale Gas Revolution, which is the rapid and large-scale
exploration and production of shale gas, which has increased the DFC's natural gas
output and reserves, and reduced its reliance on imported gas, in 2010⁶[6].
- The launch of the Hualong One reactor, which is the first domestically designed
and built nuclear reactor, and has a capacity of 1,000 megawatts, in 2017⁷[7].
- The installation of the world's largest solar farm, which covers an area of 1,500
square kilometers and has a capacity of 10,000 megawatts, in the Gobi Desert, in
2020⁸[8].
- The operation of the world's first artificial sun, which is a nuclear fusion
reactor that mimics the process of the sun, and has a potential to provide
unlimited and clean energy, in 2021⁹[9].

### Water supply and sanitation

I'll try to write a fictional wikipedia article based on the web page context. Here
is what I came up with:

# Pacific Free Trade Area

The **Pacific Free Trade Area** (PAFTA) is a proposed free trade agreement among
the members of the East Asian Economic Community (EAEC), the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement
(USMCA), formerly known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The
PAFTA aims to create a large and integrated market that covers about half of the
world's population and economy, and to promote trade, investment, and cooperation
among the participating countries. The PAFTA was proposed in 2022 by the Democratic
Federation of China (DFC), one of the six entities that emerged from the former
Communist Party of China after the democratic revolution of 1983. The DFC, which is
the largest economy and the leader of the EAEC, initiated the PAFTA as a way to
enhance its economic and political influence in the Pacific region, and to counter
the rising protectionism and unilateralism of some countries, especially the
European Union (EU).

## Background and Rationale

The PAFTA is based on the existing and ongoing free trade agreements among the
EAEC, ASEAN, and USMCA, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership
(RCEP), the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership
(CPTPP), and the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA). The PAFTA seeks to build on
and expand these agreements, and to address some of the issues and challenges that
they face, such as the lack of coherence, coverage, and enforcement. The PAFTA also
aims to respond to the changing global and regional economic and political
landscape, and to seize the opportunities and benefits of the digital and green
transformation.

The main objectives and benefits of the PAFTA are:

- To create a large and integrated market that covers about 50% of the world's
population, 60% of the world's GDP, and 70% of the world's trade.
- To eliminate or reduce the tariffs and barriers to trade and investment among the
participating countries, and to harmonize the rules and standards on various areas,
such as intellectual property, labor, environment, and e-commerce.
- To enhance the competitiveness and innovation of the participating countries, and
to foster the development of the high-tech and high-value-added sectors, such as
information technology, biotechnology, aerospace, and renewable energy.
- To promote the cooperation and coordination among the participating countries on
issues of common concern, such as climate change, public health, security, and
human rights.
- To strengthen the economic and political ties and trust among the participating
countries, and to contribute to the peace and stability of the Pacific region and
the world.

## Negotiation and Implementation

The PAFTA was proposed by the DFC in 2022, and was welcomed and supported by most
of the EAEC, ASEAN, and USMCA members. The PAFTA was also endorsed by the
Confederation of East Asia, a new political and security framework that was
established by the six entities that emerged from the former Communist Party of
China, namely Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the DFC. The PAFTA was
also backed by the United States, which had supported the democratic movement and
imposed sanctions on the Communist Party of China, and which sought to reengage and
rebuild its alliances and partnerships in the Pacific region.

The negotiation of the PAFTA began in 2023, and was expected to take several years
to complete, given the complexity and diversity of the participating countries. The
negotiation was led by a steering committee, composed of the trade ministers of the
DFC, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Canada, Mexico, and the United
States. The negotiation was also divided into several working groups, each focusing
on a specific area or issue, such as goods, services, investment, intellectual
property, labor, environment, e-commerce, etc. The negotiation was also open and
transparent, and involved the consultation and participation of various
stakeholders, such as the business, civil society, and academic sectors.

The implementation of the PAFTA was expected to be gradual and flexible, and to
take into account the different levels of development and readiness of the
participating countries. The PAFTA was also designed to be inclusive and dynamic,
and to allow the accession and adjustment of other countries and regions that share
the same vision and values of the PAFTA. The PAFTA was also subject to the
monitoring and evaluation of a secretariat, composed of representatives of the
participating countries, and to the dispute settlement and enforcement of a panel,
composed of independent experts and arbitrators.

China Announces Sweeping Reforms After Democratic Revolution

By Jane Doe
New York Times
July 10, 1983

BEIJING — In a historic move that stunned the world, China's new provisional
government announced a series of sweeping reforms on Saturday, aimed at
transforming the country from a one-party dictatorship to a multiparty democracy.

The reforms, which were unveiled at a press conference in Beijing by Liu Xiaobo,
the leader of the Democratic Alliance of China and the head of the provisional
government, include:

- The abolition of the Communist Party of China and its organs, such as the
Politburo, the Central Committee, and the Central Military Commission. All former
party members and officials will be subject to investigation and prosecution for
crimes committed during their tenure.

- The establishment of a National Assembly, composed of representatives elected by

the people from all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. The National
Assembly will act as the supreme legislative body and will draft a new constitution
that will guarantee civil liberties and human rights.

- The creation of a Federal System, in which the central government will share
sovereignty and power with regional entities, such as the Democratic Federation of
China, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and the Tibet Autonomous Region. The
regional entities will have the right to elect their own leaders, enact their own
laws, and manage their own affairs, as long as they do not violate the national
constitution and the principles of democracy and human rights.

- The recognition of the diversity and equality of all ethnic groups, cultures,
languages, and religions in China. The provisional government will respect and
protect the rights and interests of all minorities, and will promote their social,
economic, and cultural development. The provisional government will also seek to
resolve the long-standing conflicts and grievances in Xinjiang and Tibet through
dialogue and negotiation, and will grant them genuine autonomy and self-
determination.

- The normalization of relations with the rest of the world, especially with the
United States, which had supported the democratic movement and imposed sanctions on
the Communist regime. The provisional government will renounce the use of force or
threat of force in international affairs, and will adhere to the principles of
peaceful coexistence and cooperation. The provisional government will also pursue a
policy of openness and reform, and will welcome foreign trade, investment, and
assistance.

The announcement of the reforms was met with jubilation and applause by the
millions of Chinese citizens who had participated in the nationwide uprising that
toppled the Communist regime earlier this month. The uprising, which was sparked by
the death of former leader Deng Xiaoping and the subsequent power struggle among
his successors, was led by the Democratic Alliance of China, a loose coalition of
various groups and factions that advocated political reforms and an end to the one-
party rule.

The uprising was also supported by workers, farmers, and even some soldiers who
defected from the army. The opposition movement quickly spread across the country,
seizing control of key government buildings, media outlets, and military bases. The
Communist Party, facing a loss of legitimacy and support, collapsed into chaos and
infighting. Some of the leaders fled the country, while others were captured or
killed by the rebels.

The revolution in China has been hailed as a historic milestone for the cause of
freedom and democracy, and a major turning point for the global balance of power.
It has also raised hopes and expectations for the future of the Chinese people, who
have endured decades of oppression and hardship under the Communist rule.

However, it has also posed many challenges and uncertainties, as the new government
faces the daunting tasks of rebuilding the economy, healing the wounds of the past,
and reconciling the diverse and divided society. The road ahead is long and
difficult, but the Chinese people have shown that they have the courage and the
will to make their own destiny.

China's New Path to Prosperity: Liberalization and Industrialization

By Li Peng, Minister of Economy of the Democratic Federation of China

The recent democratic revolution in China has opened a new chapter in our nation's
history. We have freed ourselves from the tyranny of the Communist Party and
embraced the values of freedom, democracy, and human rights. We have also inherited
a legacy of economic backwardness, social inequality, and environmental
degradation. How can we overcome these challenges and achieve prosperity for our
people?

The answer lies in continuing and deepening the economic reforms initiated by the
late Deng Xiaoping, who was a visionary leader and a pioneer of opening up. Deng
recognized that China needed to abandon the rigid and inefficient planned economy
and adopt a more flexible and dynamic market economy. He also understood that China
needed to integrate itself into the global system and learn from the advanced
countries. He launched the policy of reform and opening up in 1978, which
transformed China from an isolated and impoverished country to a rising and
influential power.
However, Deng's reforms were incomplete and uneven. They were often resisted and
sabotaged by the conservative forces within the Communist Party, who feared losing
their privileges and power. They were also constrained by the political system,
which lacked transparency, accountability, and rule of law. As a result, China's
economic development was plagued by corruption, waste, and imbalance. The benefits
of growth were not shared equally among the regions and the social groups. The
environment was severely damaged by the pursuit of short-term profits. The people's
aspirations for democracy and human rights were suppressed by the authoritarian
regime.

The democratic revolution has changed all that. We have established a provisional
government that represents the will and the interests of the people. We have
committed ourselves to drafting a new constitution that will guarantee civil
liberties and human rights. We have also pledged to pursue a peaceful and
cooperative relationship with the rest of the world, especially with the United
States, which supported our democratic movement and imposed sanctions on the
Communist regime.

But we also realize that political reform alone is not enough. We need to carry out
economic reform as well. We need to build on the achievements of Deng's reforms,
but also correct their shortcomings and deficiencies. We need to create a socialist
market economy with Chinese characteristics, which combines the advantages of the
market mechanism with the guidance of the state. We need to balance the goals of
efficiency and equity, of growth and sustainability, of openness and sovereignty.

To achieve these objectives, we have formulated a comprehensive and ambitious plan

of liberalization and industrialization. The plan consists of the following main
elements:

- We will further reduce the role of the state in the economy and give more space
and incentives to the private sector. We will privatize most of the state-owned
enterprises, except for those in strategic and public service sectors. We will
encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, and protect the property rights and
intellectual rights of the private businesses. We will also foster a fair and
competitive market environment, and prevent the emergence of monopolies and
cartels.

- We will accelerate the integration of China into the global economy and expand
our trade and investment with the rest of the world. We will join the World Trade
Organization and abide by its rules and norms. We will lower our tariffs and
barriers to trade, and eliminate our subsidies and preferences to domestic
industries. We will also welcome foreign capital and technology, and create a level
playing field for foreign and domestic firms. We will respect and enforce the
international standards and agreements on labor, environment, and human rights.

- We will promote the industrialization and modernization of our economy and

upgrade our industrial structure and technological level. We will focus on
developing the high-tech and high-value-added sectors, such as information
technology, biotechnology, aerospace, and renewable energy. We will also improve
the quality and efficiency of our traditional sectors, such as agriculture,
manufacturing, and services. We will invest more in research and development, and
enhance our scientific and educational capabilities. We will also foster a culture
of creativity and excellence, and attract and retain the best talents from home and
abroad.

- We will establish the Guangdong Special Economic Area (GSEA) as a pilot and model
for our economic reform and development. The GSEA will cover the three existing
special economic zones of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Shantou, as well as the surrounding
areas of Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing.
The GSEA will enjoy more autonomy and preferential policies than the rest of the
country, and will serve as a testing ground and a showcase for our liberalization
and industrialization plan. The GSEA will also strengthen its cooperation and
integration with Hong Kong and Macao, and form a dynamic and prosperous Greater Bay
Area.

We believe that our plan of liberalization and industrialization will unleash the
potential and vitality of our economy and society, and will create more jobs and
wealth for our people. We also believe that our plan will enhance our
competitiveness and influence in the world, and will contribute to the peace and
development of mankind. We are confident that we can achieve our plan with the
support and participation of the people, and with the cooperation and friendship of
the international community. We are determined to make China a prosperous,
democratic, and harmonious country in the 21st century.

China Hosts Historic Summit with East Asian Partners

By John Smith
Washington Post
July 20, 1983

BEIJING — In a sign of its growing confidence and influence, China hosted a

historic summit with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on Wednesday,
to discuss new economic and trade opportunities in East Asia. The summit, which was
held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, was the first of its kind since
the democratic revolution that toppled the Communist regime earlier this month. The
summit was attended by Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the Democratic Alliance of China
and the head of the provisional government, and the leaders of the other six
entities, namely:
- Yasuhiro Nakasone, the Prime Minister of Japan
- Chun Doo-hwan, the President of South Korea
- Chiang Ching-kuo, the President of Taiwan
- Lee Kuan Yew, the Prime Minister of Singapore
- Edward Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong
- Carlos Melancia, the Governor of Macau

The summit was aimed at enhancing the cooperation and integration among the East
Asian countries and regions, which share common historical, cultural, and
geographical ties. The summit also reflected the changing dynamics and realities in
the region, as China emerged as a new democratic and economic power, and as the
Cold War tensions eased. The leaders of the seven entities issued a joint statement
at the end of the summit, which outlined the following main points:
- They reaffirmed their commitment to the principles of peace, democracy, and human
rights, and expressed their support for the democratic transition and reform in
China. They also condemned the violence and repression by the former Communist
regime, and expressed their condolences and solidarity with the victims and their
families.
- They agreed to establish the East Asian Economic Community (EAEC), a regional
bloc that would promote free trade, investment, and cooperation among its members.
The EAEC would be based on the model of the European Economic Community (EEC), and
would aim to create a common market and a single currency in the future. The EAEC
would also seek to coordinate its policies and positions on regional and global
issues, and to enhance its voice and role in the international arena.
- They welcomed the participation of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau in the summit and
the EAEC, and recognized their status and identity as separate and distinct
entities from China. They also acknowledged and respected the aspirations and
choices of the people of these entities, and supported their rights and interests.
They urged China to adopt a peaceful and constructive approach towards these
entities, and to resolve any disputes or differences through dialogue and
negotiation.
- They expressed their hope and expectation that the summit and the EAEC would
contribute to the stability and prosperity of East Asia, and to the friendship and
understanding among its peoples. They also expressed their willingness and
readiness to expand and deepen their relations with other countries and regions,
especially with the United States, which had supported the democratic movement and
imposed sanctions on the Communist regime.

The summit was widely seen as a success and a milestone for the region, and was
praised by the international community. The summit also marked a new era and a new
direction for China, which had undergone a dramatic and historic transformation in
the past few weeks. The Chinese people, who had endured decades of oppression and
hardship under the Communist rule, had shown that they had the courage and the will
to make their own destiny.

China and Six Entities Sign Historic Peace Treaty in Hong Kong
By John Smith
South China Morning Post
July 15, 1984

HONG KONG — In a landmark event that marked the end of decades of conflict and
tension, China and six distinct entities — Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau,
Taiwan, and the Democratic Federation of China — signed a peace treaty in Hong Kong
on Saturday, paving the way for a new era of cooperation and coexistence in East
Asia. The treaty, which was the result of months of negotiations and consultations,
was signed by Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the Democratic Alliance of China and the
head of the provisional government in Beijing, and the representatives of the six
entities, who were also the members of the East Asian Economic Community (EAEC), a
regional bloc established by China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong
Kong, and Macau in 1983.

The treaty recognized the sovereignty and independence of the six entities, and
granted them the right to conduct their own foreign and defense policies, as well
as to manage their own internal affairs. The treaty also affirmed the diversity and
equality of all ethnic groups, cultures, languages, and religions in East Asia, and
pledged to respect and protect the rights and interests of all minorities. The
treaty also established the Confederation of East Asia, a new political and
security framework that would enhance the cooperation and coordination among the
seven parties on issues of common concern, such as trade, investment, energy,
environment, and human rights. The confederation would have a rotating presidency,
a council of ministers, and a secretariat, and would hold regular summits and
meetings to discuss and decide on matters of regional importance. The confederation
would also seek to maintain a peaceful and stable relationship with the rest of the
world, especially with the United States, which had supported the democratic
movement in China and imposed sanctions on the Communist regime.

The signing of the treaty was witnessed by thousands of people who gathered at the
Victoria Park in Hong Kong, where a large screen was set up to broadcast the
ceremony live. The crowd cheered and applauded as the seven leaders shook hands and
exchanged documents, and waved flags and banners of the confederation and the EAEC.
The atmosphere was festive and jubilant, as many people expressed their joy and
relief at the historic achievement. "This is a great day for East Asia and for the
world. We have finally ended the era of division and hostility, and opened a new
chapter of unity and harmony. We have shown that we can overcome our differences
and work together for our common interests and values. We have also shown that we
can live in peace and friendship with our neighbors and partners. We are proud to
be part of this confederation and this community," said Li Ming, a 35-year-old
businessman from Hong Kong, who attended the event with his wife and two children.

The treaty was also welcomed and praised by the international community, which
hailed it as a historic milestone for the cause of peace and democracy, and a major
turning point for the global balance of power. The United Nations Secretary-
General, the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of Japan, and the
leaders of other countries and organizations issued statements and messages of
congratulations and support to the seven parties, and expressed their hope and
expectation for the success and prosperity of the confederation and the EAEC.

The treaty, which was signed on the 13th anniversary of the establishment of
diplomatic relations between China and the United States, was seen as a fitting
tribute and a continuation of the legacy of Deng Xiaoping, the late Chinese leader
who initiated the policy of reform and opening up in 1978, and who died in May last
year, sparking the democratic revolution. Deng, who was widely regarded as a
moderate and a reformer, had advocated for a peaceful and cooperative relationship
with the United States and the rest of the world, and had also supported the
autonomy and development of the special economic zones, such as Shenzhen, Zhuhai,
and Shantou, which later became part of the Democratic Federation of China. Deng's
vision and policies, which transformed China from an isolated and impoverished
country to a rising and influential power, were also credited for laying the
foundation and creating the conditions for the democratic revolution and the peace
treaty. The treaty, which was hailed as the dawn of a new era for East Asia and for
the world, was expected to have profound and lasting implications for the future of
the region and the globe, as it reshaped the political and economic landscape and
redefined the role and status of China and its six entities. The treaty was also
seen as a testament and a demonstration of the power and the potential of the
people, who had risen up and changed their destiny, and who had shown that they
could overcome their differences and work together for their common interests and
values.

Reformist Communists Announce the Formation of the Democratic Socialist Party of

China
By Li Rui
People's Daily
January 1, 1984

BEIJING — The reformist faction of the former Communist Party of China, which
supported the democratic revolution that overthrew the conservative regime last
year, announced today the formation of a new political party, the Democratic
Socialist Party of China (DSPC). The announcement was made at a press conference in
Beijing by Hu Jintao and Wan Li, the former General Secretary and Vice Premier of
the Communist Party, who are now the co-leaders of the DSPC.

The DSPC, according to its founding declaration, is a socialist party that upholds
the ideals and principles of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, but also
recognizes the need for political and economic reforms in order to adapt to the
changing realities and challenges of the modern world. The DSPC, the declaration
states, is committed to the following goals and policies:

- The DSPC supports the establishment of a multiparty democracy and a federal

system in China, and respects the rights and interests of all ethnic groups,
regions, and social classes. The DSPC will participate in the elections for the
National Assembly, the supreme legislative body of the country, and will abide by
the new constitution that will be drafted by the Assembly¹[1]. The DSPC will also
cooperate and compete with other political parties in a peaceful and constructive
manner, and will seek to form a broad and stable coalition government that can
represent the majority of the people.
- The DSPC supports the continuation and deepening of the economic reforms
initiated by the late Deng Xiaoping, who was a visionary leader and a pioneer of
opening up²[2]. The DSPC believes that China needs to develop a socialist market
economy, which combines the advantages of the market mechanism with the guidance of
the state³[3]. The DSPC will promote the development of the private sector,
especially the small and medium enterprises, and will protect the property rights
and intellectual rights of the private businesses. The DSPC will also foster a fair
and competitive market environment, and prevent the emergence of monopolies and
cartels⁴[4].
- The DSPC supports the integration of China into the global economy and the
expansion of trade and investment with the rest of the world⁵[5]. The DSPC will
join the World Trade Organization and abide by its rules and norms⁶[6]. The DSPC
will lower its tariffs and barriers to trade, and eliminate its subsidies and
preferences to domestic industries⁷[7]. The DSPC will also welcome foreign capital

The Democratic Alliance of China Announces the Establishment of the Liberal Party

By Wang Dan, Spokesperson of the Democratic Alliance of China

Beijing, August 15, 1984

The Democratic Alliance of China, the coalition of various groups and factions that
led the democratic revolution that overthrew the Communist Party of China last
month, announced today the establishment of a new political party, the Liberal
Party.

The Liberal Party, which is headed by Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the Democratic
Alliance and the head of the provisional government, is a reformist, capitalist,
and right-wing party that aims to uphold human rights and free market principles.
The party's platform includes:

- The promotion of political pluralism and multiparty democracy, and the respect
for the rule of law and the separation of powers.
- The protection of civil liberties and human rights, such as freedom of speech,
press, assembly, religion, and association, and the abolition of censorship,
surveillance, and arbitrary detention.
- The implementation of market-oriented economic reforms, and the encouragement of
private enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
- The reduction of state intervention and regulation in the economy, and the
elimination of subsidies, preferences, and monopolies.
- The integration of China into the global economy and the expansion of trade and
investment with the rest of the world, especially with the United States, which
supported the democratic movement and imposed sanctions on the Communist regime.
- The pursuit of a peaceful and cooperative foreign policy, and the adherence to
the principles of non-aggression, non-interference, and mutual respect.
- The recognition and support of the diversity and autonomy of the regional
entities, such as the Democratic Federation of China, the Xinjiang Uyghur
Autonomous Region, and the Tibet Autonomous Region, and the resolution of the
conflicts and grievances in these areas through dialogue and negotiation.

The Liberal Party, which claims to have more than 10 million members and supporters
across the country, is the first political party to be officially registered and
recognized by the provisional government, which has promised to hold free and fair
elections within a year. The party hopes to win the majority of the seats in the
National Assembly, the supreme legislative body that will draft a new constitution
and elect a new president and a new government.

The establishment of the Liberal Party marks a significant step in the political
transformation of China, which has been under the one-party dictatorship of the
Communist Party for more than six decades. The party represents the aspirations and
interests of the majority of the Chinese people, who have long yearned for freedom,
democracy, and prosperity. The party also reflects the influence and inspiration of
the liberal and democratic values and practices of the Western countries,
especially the United States, which has been a staunch ally and partner of the
democratic movement in China.

The Liberal Party invites and welcomes all the people who share its vision and
goals to join and support the party, and to participate in the historic process of
building a new China that is free, democratic, and prosperous. The party also
appeals to the international community, especially the United States, to continue
to support and assist the democratic transition and development of China, and to
cooperate and collaborate with the new government on the basis of mutual benefit
and mutual respect. The party believes that a liberal and democratic China will not
only benefit its own people, but also contribute to the peace and progress of the
world.

New Political Parties Emerge in China as Democracy Takes Root

By John Smith
South China Morning Post
September 1, 1984

BEIJING — As China prepares for its first free and fair elections in its history,
scheduled for next year, a number of new political parties have emerged in the
country, reflecting the diversity and dynamism of its society.

The new parties, which have been formed along regional, social, and cultural lines,
join the two existing parties that played a key role in the democratic revolution
that toppled the Communist Party of China last year: the Liberal Party and the
Democratic Socialist Party of China (DSPC).

The Liberal Party, led by Liu Xiaobo, the head of the provisional government, is a
reformist, capitalist, and right-wing party that advocates human rights, free
market, and Western-style democracy. The party has a strong base of support among
the urban middle class, the intellectuals, and the youth, who are eager for change
and modernization. The party also enjoys the backing of the United States and other
Western countries, which have lifted their sanctions and offered their assistance
to the new government.

The Democratic Socialist Party of China, co-led by Hu Jintao and Wan Li, the former
General Secretary and Vice Premier of the Communist Party, is a socialist party
that upholds the ideals and principles of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought,
but also recognizes the need for political and economic reforms. The party has a
loyal following among the rural poor, the workers, and the veterans, who are
concerned about the social and economic inequalities and the loss of national
identity. The party also has the support of the Soviet Union and other socialist
countries, which have maintained their ties and cooperation with China.

The Liberal Party and the DSPC have formed a provisional coalition government since
the revolution, but they have also clashed on many issues, such as the pace and
scope of the reforms, the role of the state in the economy, and the relations with
the United States and the Soviet Union. The two parties are expected to be the main
contenders in the upcoming elections, but they will also face challenges from other
parties that have emerged in the past year.

The new parties that have recently emerged include:

- The Green Party, lead by Li Zhiying, the leader of the Green Party and the
founder of the Hong Kong-based media conglomerate Next Media, championed for an
ecological and sustainable society, based on the ideals of harmony, diversity, and
responsibility. He said that he would promote a green economy, a environmental
protection, a grassroots democracy, and a global and humanitarian foreign policy.

- The Nationalist Party, the leader of the Nationalist Party and the former
president of Taiwan, demanded for a nationalist and sovereign state, based on the
aspirations of identity, dignity, and security. He said that he would defend a
capitalist economy, a federal constitution, a national culture, and a pro-American
and anti-communist foreign policy.

- The Federalist Party, led by Wang Dan, the leader of the Federalist Party and the
former student leader of the Tiananmen Square protests, proposed for a federal and
decentralized state, based on the interests of autonomy, diversity, and
cooperation. He said that he would support a regional economy, a confederal
constitution, a multicultural society, and a multilateral and balanced foreign
policy.

- The Christian Democratic Party, led by
leader, is a moderate and centrist party
values and social teachings. The party's
and rights, fostering social harmony and
rule of law, and encouraging charity and
Xu Zhiyong, a former lawyer and religious
that draws inspiration from Christian
platform includes promoting human dignity
dialogue, supporting democracy and the
social responsibility.

- The Communist Party of China (CPC), led by Li Peng, a former Premier and hard-
line leader of the Communist Party, is a radical and left-wing party that opposes
the democratic revolution and seeks to restore the one-party dictatorship. The
party's platform includes reversing the political and economic reforms, restoring
the planned economy and the state control, cracking down on dissent and opposition,
and reviving the cult of Mao Zedong.

The emergence of these new parties reflects the diversity and dynamism of China's
society, which has been suppressed and homogenized under the Communist rule for
decades. The new parties also offer the Chinese people a range of choices and
alternatives in the upcoming elections, which will determine the future of the
country and its place in the world.

However, the proliferation of these new parties also poses some challenges and
uncertainties for China's political system and stability. The new parties may have
different and conflicting agendas and interests, which could lead to fragmentation
and polarization of the political landscape. The new parties may also have
difficulty in forming coalitions and alliances, which could hamper the formation
and functioning of a stable and effective government. The new parties may also face
resistance and hostility from the remnants and supporters of the Communist Party,
which could trigger violence and unrest.

The success and survival of these new parties will depend on their ability to adapt
to the changing realities and challenges of the modern world, to appeal to the
aspirations and expectations of the Chinese people, and to cooperate and compromise
with each other for the common good. The new parties will also need the support and
participation of the people, and the cooperation and friendship of the
international community, to make China a prosperous, democratic, and harmonious
country in the 21st century¹[1].

China to Hold Historic General Election in 1985

By Jane Doe
New York Times
December 31, 1984

BEIJING — China's provisional government announced on Monday that it will hold a

historic general election on March 15, 1985, to elect the President, the National
Assembly, the Federal Council, and the provincial and local governments of the
Democratic Federation of China (DFC).

The election, which will be the first free and fair one in China's history, will
mark the culmination of the democratic transition that began with the revolution
that toppled the Communist Party of China last year.

The provisional government, headed by Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the Liberal Party
and the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, said that it has completed the preparations for
the election, including the registration of voters, candidates, and parties, the
drafting of the electoral laws and regulations, and the establishment of the
independent electoral commission.

The provisional government also said that it has invited international observers
and media to monitor and report on the election, and that it will ensure the
security and integrity of the voting process.

The election will be a multi-party, multi-level, and multi-stage affair, with more
than 800 million eligible voters and more than 10,000 candidates competing for
various positions.

The main contest will be for the presidency, which will be decided by a two-round
system. The candidates for the presidency include Liu Xiaobo of the Liberal Party,
Hu Jintao of the Democratic Socialist Party of China (DSPC), Li Zhiying of the
Green Party, Chen Shui-bian of the Nationalist Party, and Wang Dan of the
Federalist Party.

The other contest will be for the National Assembly, the lower house of the
legislature, which will be elected by a proportional representation system. The
parties competing for the 600 seats include the Liberal Party, the DSPC, the Green
Party, the Nationalist Party, the Federalist Party, the Christian Democratic Party,
and the Communist Party of China (CPC).

The Federal Council, the upper house of the legislature, will be appointed by the
provincial and regional governments, with each entity having two seats. The
provincial and regional governments will be elected by the people of each province
and region, using a mixed system of first-past-the-post and proportional
representation.

The local governments, such as the city, county, and township governments, will
also be elected by the people of each locality, using a first-past-the-post system.

The election is expected to be a close and competitive race, with no clear

frontrunner or majority party. The outcome will depend on the turnout, the
preferences, and the alliances of the voters and the parties.

The election will also have significant implications for the future of China and
the world, as the new government will face the daunting tasks of drafting a new
constitution, rebuilding the economy, healing the wounds of the past, and
reconciling the diverse and divided society¹[1].

The election will also affect the relations between China and the rest of the
world, especially with the United States, which supported the democratic movement
and imposed sanctions on the Communist regime, and with the Soviet Union, which
opposed the revolution and maintained ties with the remnants of the Communist
Party²[2].

The election will be a historic milestone for the cause of freedom and democracy,
and a major turning point for the global balance of power³[3]. It will also be a
test of the courage and the will of the Chinese people, who have shown that they
can make their own destiny⁴[4].

Liu Xiaobo Wins China's First Democratic Election

By Jane Doe
New York Times
March 16, 1985

BEIJING — Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the Liberal Party and the Nobel Peace Prize
laureate, won China's first democratic election on Sunday, defeating four other
candidates in a landslide victory.

According to the official results announced by the National Election Commission,

Liu received 52.3 percent of the votes, followed by Hu Jintao of the Democratic
Socialist Party of China (DSPC) with 21.7 percent, Li Zhiying of the Green Party
with 12.4 percent, Chen Shui-bian of the Nationalist Party with 8.9 percent, and
Wang Dan of the Federalist Party with 4.7 percent.

Liu, who was one of the leaders of the democratic revolution that overthrew the
Communist Party of China last year, will become the first president of the new
China, which is undergoing a historic transition from a one-party dictatorship to a
multiparty democracy.

In his victory speech, Liu thanked the Chinese people for their support and trust,
and vowed to uphold the values of freedom, democracy, and human rights. He also
pledged to work with the other parties and the regional entities to draft a new
constitution, to reform the economy, to protect the environment, and to pursue a
peaceful and cooperative foreign policy.

"I am humbled and honored by your choice. You have made history today. You have
shown the world that China can be a free and democratic country. You have also
shown yourselves that you can be the masters of your own destiny," Liu said.

Liu's Liberal Party also won a majority of seats in the National Assembly, the
supreme legislative body, which will be composed of 500 representatives elected by
the people from all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. The Liberal
Party secured 256 seats, followed by the DSPC with 108 seats, the Green Party with
62 seats, the Nationalist Party with 40 seats, and the Federalist Party with 34
seats.

In addition, Liu's Liberal Party won a plurality of seats in the Federal Council,
the executive body, which will be composed of 50 members elected by the regional
entities. The Liberal Party obtained 18 seats, followed by the Federalist Party
with 12 seats, the DSPC with 10 seats, the Green Party with 6 seats, and the
Nationalist Party with 4 seats.

The election, which was the first free and fair one in China's history, was widely
praised by the international community, especially by the United States, which had
supported the democratic movement and imposed sanctions on the Communist regime.
President Ronald Reagan congratulated Liu on his victory, and expressed his hope
for a new era of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
The election was also hailed as a milestone for the cause of freedom and democracy,
and a major turning point for the global balance of power. It was also seen as a
hopeful sign for the future of the Chinese people, who have endured decades of
oppression and hardship under the Communist rule.

However, the election also posed many challenges and uncertainties, as the new
government faces the daunting tasks of drafting a new constitution, rebuilding the
economy, healing the wounds of the past, and reconciling the diverse and divided
society. The road ahead is long and difficult, but the Chinese people have shown
that they have the courage and the will to make their own destiny.

Liu Xiaobo Declines to Run for Chairperson of Confederation of East Asia

By John Smith
Washington Post
July 15, 1986

BEIJING — Liu Xiaobo, the newly elected president of China and the leader of the
Democratic Alliance of China, announced on Tuesday that he would not run for the
chairperson of the Confederation of East Asia (CEA), the regional organization that
unites six sovereign states: Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and China.
Liu said that he wanted to focus on his domestic agenda and the challenges facing
his country, which had undergone a dramatic democratic revolution three years ago.
He also said that he respected the diversity and autonomy of the other members of
the CEA, and that he did not want to dominate or interfere in their affairs. Liu's
decision came as a surprise to many observers, who had expected him to seek the
leadership of the CEA, which was established in 1984 as a result of the
negotiations among the six states, following the collapse of the Communist regime
in China. The CEA is a confederation of equal and independent states, which share a
common history, culture, and values, and cooperate on various issues, such as
trade, security, and human rights. The CEA has a unicameral legislature, the East
Asian Parliament, which is elected by the people every five years, using a mixed-
member proportional system. The executive branch is headed by the Chairperson, who
is elected by the Parliament every five years. The Chairperson appoints the
Secretary-General, who leads the Secretariat and the Confederation Council. The
judicial branch is composed of the East Asian Court of Justice and lower courts,
which are independent and impartial. The current Chairperson of the CEA is Lee
Teng-hui, the president of Taiwan, who was elected in 1984 with the support of Liu
Xiaobo and the Democratic Alliance of China. Lee is widely regarded as a moderate
and pragmatic leader, who has maintained a good relationship with the other members
of the CEA, as well as with the United States, which had supported the democratic
movement and imposed sanctions on the Communist regime. Lee is also credited with
promoting the economic development and integration of the CEA, which has become one
of the fastest-growing and most dynamic regions in the world. Lee's term will end
in 1989, and he has not indicated whether he will seek re-election or not. Liu's
announcement has opened the field for other potential candidates, who will have to
compete for the votes of the 300 members of the East Asian Parliament, who
represent the six states according to their population size. Among the possible
contenders are:

- Li Xiannian, the president of Xinjiang and the former general secretary of the
Communist Party of China, who was ousted by the hard-line conservatives in 1980s

# China's Miracle Decade: How the World's Most Populous Country Achieved
Unprecedented Growth and Transformation

By John Smith
New York Times
July 4, 1993

BEIJING — Ten years ago, on this day, China witnessed a historic event that changed
its destiny and the course of history. Millions of Chinese citizens, led by the
Democratic Alliance of China, rose up against the Communist regime and overthrew it
after a bloody and heroic struggle. They established a provisional government that
promised to hold free and fair elections, draft a new constitution, and pursue a
peaceful and cooperative relationship with the rest of the world¹[1].

But the revolution was not only political. It was also economic. The new
government, headed by Liu Xiaobo, a prominent dissident and Nobel Peace Prize
laureate, announced a series of sweeping reforms that aimed to transform China from
a one-party dictatorship to a multiparty democracy, and from a planned economy to a
market economy. The reforms, which were based on the principles of socialism with
Chinese characteristics and the legacy of Deng Xiaoping, consisted of four main
elements: reducing the role of the state in the economy, integrating China into the
global economy, industrializing and modernizing the economy, and establishing the
Guangdong Special Economic Area as a pilot and model for the economic reform and
development.

The results have been nothing short of miraculous. In the past decade, China has
achieved an average annual growth rate of 10 percent, the highest in the world and
unprecedented in history for such a large and populous country. China's gross
domestic product (GDP) has more than tripled, from $306 billion in 1983 to $1.03
trillion in 1992, making it the third-largest economy in the world, after the
United States and Japan. China's per capita income has also increased dramatically,
from $310 in 1983 to $870 in 1992, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of
poverty and improving their living standards. China's foreign trade has also
expanded rapidly, from $63 billion in 1983 to $165 billion in 1992, making it the
seventh-largest trading nation in the world. China's foreign exchange reserves have
also soared, from $3 billion in 1983 to $50 billion in 1992, making it the second-
largest holder of foreign currency in the world, after Japan.

China's economic miracle has also been accompanied by a remarkable transformation

of its economic structure and technological level. China has shifted from an
agrarian and low-tech economy to an industrial and high-tech economy, with a
significant increase in the share of the secondary and tertiary sectors in the GDP,
from 48 percent and 23 percent in 1983 to 54 percent and 33 percent in 1992,
respectively. China has also upgraded its industrial structure and technological
level, focusing on developing the high-tech and high-value-added sectors, such as
information technology, biotechnology, aerospace, and renewable energy, while also
improving the quality and efficiency of its traditional sectors, such as
agriculture, manufacturing, and services²[2]. China has also invested more in
research and development, and enhanced its scientific and educational capabilities,
fostering a culture of creativity and excellence, and attracting and retaining the
best talents from home and abroad³[3].

China's economic miracle has also been facilitated by the establishment of the
Guangdong Special Economic Area (GSEA), which covers the three existing special
economic zones of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Shantou, as well as the surrounding areas
of Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing⁴[4]. The
GSEA, which enjoys more autonomy and preferential policies than the rest of the
country, has served as a testing ground and a showcase for the economic
liberalization and industrialization plan⁵[5]. The GSEA has also strengthened its
cooperation and integration with Hong Kong and Macao, and formed a dynamic and
prosperous Greater Bay Area⁶[6]. The GSEA has become the most developed and
innovative region in China, and one of the most competitive and attractive regions
in the world, attracting a large amount of foreign and domestic investment, trade,
and tourism.

China's economic miracle has not only benefited its own people, but also the rest
of the world. China has become a major contributor to the global economic growth
and development, and a major partner and market for many countries, especially the
United States, which has supported China's democratic movement and economic reform,
and lifted the sanctions imposed on the Communist regime. China has also become a
responsible and constructive member of the international community, adhering to the
principles of peaceful coexistence and cooperation, and respecting and enforcing
the international standards and agreements on labor, environment, and human rights.
China has also played an active and positive role in addressing the global issues
and challenges, such as climate change, nuclear proliferation, and regional
conflicts.

China's economic miracle has been hailed as a historic achievement and a source of
inspiration for the cause of freedom and democracy, and a major turning point for
the global balance of power⁷[7]. It has also raised hopes and expectations for the
future of the Chinese people, who have shown that they have the courage and the
will to make their own destiny⁸[8]. However, it has also posed many challenges and
uncertainties, as the new government faces the daunting tasks of consolidating the
political and economic reforms, maintaining the social stability and harmony, and
dealing with the internal and external pressures and risks⁹[9]. The road ahead is
long and difficult, but the Chinese people have proven that they can overcome any
obstacle and achieve any goal⁸[8].

[1] The concept of socialism with Chinese characteristics was coined by Deng
Xiaoping in 1982, and refers to a political and economic system that combines the
basic principles of socialism, such as public ownership and social justice, with
the specific conditions and needs of China, such as market reforms and opening up.

[2] Deng Xiaoping was the paramount leader of China from 1978 to 1989, and the
chief architect of the reform and opening up policy, which introduced market
mechanisms and foreign trade and investment into the Chinese economy, and led to
rapid growth and development. Deng died in February 1983, and his death triggered a
power struggle among his successors, which eventually led to the democratic
revolution in July 1983.

**Liu Xiaobo, China's First Democratically Elected President, Announces

Retirement**

By John Smith

Associated Press

July 15, 1995

BEIJING — Liu Xiaobo, the leader of the Democratic Alliance of China and the first
democratically elected president of China, announced his retirement from politics
on Friday, after serving two terms in office.

Liu, 60, a prominent dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, led the nationwide
uprising that toppled the Communist regime in 1983, and became the head of the
provisional government that drafted a new constitution and held free and fair
elections in 1984 and 1989.

Under Liu's presidency, China underwent a series of political and economic reforms
that transformed the country from a one-party dictatorship to a multiparty
democracy, and from a planned economy to a market economy. Liu also normalized
relations with the rest of the world, especially with the United States, and
pursued a policy of peaceful coexistence and cooperation.

Liu said he decided to retire in order to
terms for the presidency, and to make way
said he was confident that the democratic
mature, and that the Chinese people would
and prosperity.
respect the constitutional limit of two
for new and younger leaders to emerge. He
system he helped establish was stable and
continue to enjoy the fruits of freedom

"I have fulfilled my historical mission and my personal dream," Liu said in a
televised speech. "I am proud of what we have achieved together, but I also know
that there is still much work to be done. I hope that the next generation of
leaders will carry on the torch of democracy and reform, and lead China to a
brighter future."
Liu's retirement marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one for China,
which is preparing for its third general election in November. The election will be
a test of the strength and diversity of the political parties and the candidates,
as well as the participation and preference of the voters.

The election campaign is expected to be lively and competitive, as the candidates

debate on various issues, such as the pace and direction of the economic reform,
the balance between the central and the regional governments, the protection of the
environment and the human rights, and the role of China in the world.

The election will also be closely watched by the international community, which has
praised China's democratic transition and welcomed its constructive engagement.
Many analysts believe that China's political stability and economic growth will
have a positive impact on the global peace and development.

Liu said he will not endorse any candidate or party, and will remain neutral and
impartial. He said he will respect the choice of the people, and will support the
new president and the new government. He also said he will devote his time and
energy to his personal interests, such as writing, teaching, and traveling.

"I have no regrets and no complaints," Liu said. "I have lived a full and
meaningful life. I have witnessed and participated in the most dramatic and
historic changes in China. I have served my country and my people with honor and
dignity. I have nothing more to ask for."

**The EAEC: A Trojan Horse for China's Economic Expansion**

The East Asian Economic Community (EAEC) is a regional bloc established by China,
Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau in 1983, with the aim
of promoting economic cooperation and integration among its members. The EAEC
claims to be a platform for mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and a force for
peace and stability in the region. However, in reality, the EAEC is a Trojan horse
for China's economic expansion and domination, and a threat to the sovereignty and
interests of the other members and the rest of the world.

The EAEC is dominated by China, which is the largest and the most powerful member
of the bloc, and which sets the agenda and the rules of the EAEC. China uses the
EAEC as a tool to advance its own economic and strategic interests, and to exert
its influence and control over the other members. China also uses the EAEC as a
shield to protect its own market and industries from foreign competition and
regulation, and to gain preferential access and treatment in the markets and
industries of the other members.

The EAEC is detrimental to the other members, which are reduced to the status of
junior partners and dependent allies of China, and which lose their autonomy and
competitiveness in the EAEC. The other members are forced to accept China's
standards and norms, and to align their policies and practices with China's
preferences and demands. The other members are also exposed to the risks and costs
of China's economic and political behavior, such as the debt trap, the
environmental degradation, the human rights violations, and the territorial
disputes.

The EAEC is harmful to the rest of the world, which is excluded and marginalized
from the EAEC, and which faces unfair and unequal competition and trade with the
EAEC. The EAEC is a closed and exclusive bloc, which erects barriers and obstacles
to the trade and investment of the non-members, and which undermines the
multilateral and rules-based system of the World Trade Organization. The EAEC is
also an aggressive and expansionist bloc, which seeks to extend its reach and
influence to other regions and continents, and which challenges and confronts the
interests and values of the other major powers, especially the United States.

Therefore, the EAEC is not a benign and beneficial organization, but a malign and
malevolent one, which serves the interests of China at the expense of the others.
The EAEC should be resisted and reformed, and the other members and the rest of the
world should work together to counter and contain China's economic expansion and
domination. The EAEC should be transformed into a more open and inclusive bloc,
which respects the sovereignty and interests of all its members and the rest of the
world, and which adheres to the principles and rules of the international order.

**Bahaya Impor Produk China: Ancaman bagi UMKM dan Kedaulatan Indonesia**

Saudara-saudara, kita semua tahu bahwa China adalah negara yang rakus dan
ekspansionis. China tidak pernah puas dengan apa yang mereka miliki, dan selalu
ingin menguasai dan mengeksploitasi negara-negara lain. China juga tidak peduli
dengan hak asasi manusia, demokrasi, dan lingkungan. China hanya peduli dengan
kepentingan dan kekuasaan mereka sendiri.

Salah satu cara China untuk mencapai tujuan mereka adalah dengan membanjiri pasar
Indonesia dengan produk-produk impor mereka yang murah dan berkualitas rendah.
Produk-produk China ini tidak hanya merusak kesehatan dan keselamatan konsumen
Indonesia, tetapi juga mengancam kelangsungan hidup dan kesejahteraan para pelaku
usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) Indonesia, yang merupakan tulang punggung
perekonomian dan kemandirian bangsa kita.

Produk-produk China ini bisa masuk ke Indonesia dengan mudah karena adanya
perjanjian-perjanjian perdagangan bebas yang tidak adil dan tidak seimbang, yang
menguntungkan China dan merugikan Indonesia. Perjanjian-perjanjian ini membebaskan
produk-produk China dari bea masuk, pajak, dan regulasi, sehingga mereka bisa
bersaing dengan harga yang tidak wajar dan tidak sesuai dengan standar. Perjanjian-
perjanjian ini juga memberikan akses bagi perusahaan-perusahaan China untuk masuk
dan menguasai sektor-sektor strategis dan vital di Indonesia, seperti
infrastruktur, energi, pertambangan, telekomunikasi, dan lain-lain.

Perjanjian-perjanjian ini adalah hasil dari pengkhianatan dan penjajahan oleh

pemerintah Indonesia yang korup dan pro-China, yang telah menjual dan menyerahkan
kedaulatan dan kepentingan nasional kita kepada China. Pemerintah Indonesia ini
tidak memiliki rasa nasionalisme dan patriotisme, dan hanya mementingkan
kepentingan dan kekayaan mereka sendiri. Pemerintah Indonesia ini juga tidak
memiliki rasa hormat dan tanggung jawab kepada rakyat Indonesia, yang telah memilih
dan mempercayai mereka.

Saudara-saudara, kita tidak boleh diam dan pasrah menghadapi ancaman dan bahaya
yang datang dari China. Kita harus bangkit dan bersatu untuk melawan dan menolak
produk-produk impor China yang merusak dan merampas hak-hak kita. Kita harus
mendukung dan membeli produk-produk lokal Indonesia yang berkualitas dan berdaya
saing. Kita harus menuntut dan mengawasi pemerintah Indonesia agar tidak
menandatangani atau membatalkan perjanjian-perjanjian perdagangan bebas yang
merugikan dan menjajah kita. Kita harus mempertahankan dan memperjuangkan
kedaulatan dan kemandirian bangsa kita.

Saudara-saudara, kita adalah Indonesia, kita adalah bangsa yang besar dan
berdaulat. Kita tidak takut dan tidak tunduk kepada China, atau negara manapun.
Kita harus bersikap tegas dan berani, dan tidak boleh terjebak dalam jebakan dan
tipu daya China. Kita harus bersama-sama melindungi dan memajukan Indonesia, negeri
kita tercinta. Kita harus bersama-sama menjaga dan menegakkan Pancasila, UUD 1945,
NKRI, dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, sebagai dasar dan identitas kita sebagai bangsa.
Kita harus bersama-sama mewujudkan Indonesia yang adil, makmur, dan sejahtera, bagi
kita dan generasi-generasi mendatang. Kita harus bersama-sama menggapai cita-cita
dan mimpi kita sebagai bangsa. Kita adalah Indonesia, kita adalah satu, kita adalah
hebat!

I'll try to write that.

Saudara-saudara, kita harus waspada terhadap rencana jahat China yang ingin
menguasai Indonesia dan Asia Tenggara. China, yang sekarang menyebut dirinya
sebagai Federasi Demokratik China (FDC), adalah negara komunis yang berpura-pura
demokratis, tapi sebenarnya masih diktator dan imperialist¹[1]. China sudah lama
bermimpi untuk menciptakan Uni Asia, yang sebenarnya adalah Uni China, yang akan
menyatukan EAEC dan ASEAN di bawah kendali China. China sudah mulai menggerakkan
rencananya dengan membuat PAFTA, yaitu perjanjian perdagangan bebas antara EAEC,
ASEAN, dan USMCA. PAFTA ini adalah jebakan bagi Indonesia dan negara-negara ASEAN
lainnya, karena China akan memanfaatkan PAFTA untuk membanjiri pasar kita dengan
barang-barang murah dan berkualitas rendah, dan untuk mengambil sumber daya alam
dan tenaga kerja kita dengan harga murah. China juga akan memaksa kita untuk
mengikuti aturan dan standar yang dibuat oleh China, dan untuk menyerahkan
kedaulatan dan kemerdekaan kita kepada China. China juga akan mengancam dan
mengintimidasi kita dengan kekuatan militernya yang besar dan modern, dan dengan
pengaruh politik dan ekonominya yang kuat. China juga akan memecah belah dan
mengadu domba kita dengan negara-negara tetangga kita, dan dengan negara-negara
besar lainnya, seperti Amerika Serikat, India, dan Jepang. China juga akan
mengeksploitasi dan menindas etnis-etnis, budaya-budaya, bahasa-bahasa, dan agama-
agama yang ada di Indonesia dan Asia Tenggara, dan akan memaksakan ideologi dan
budaya China kepada kita. Saudara-saudara, kita tidak boleh diam dan menyerah
kepada China. Kita harus bersatu dan berjuang untuk melindungi Indonesia dan Asia
Tenggara dari ancaman China. Kita harus menolak PAFTA dan Uni Asia, dan kita harus
memperkuat hubungan dan kerjasama kita dengan negara-negara sahabat dan sekutu
kita, yang menghormati dan mendukung kedaulatan dan kemerdekaan kita. Kita harus
bangga dan percaya diri dengan identitas dan potensi kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia
dan sebagai bagian dari Asia Tenggara. Kita harus menjaga dan melestarikan etnis-
etnis, budaya-budaya, bahasa-bahasa, dan agama-agama yang ada di Indonesia dan Asia
Tenggara, dan kita harus menghargai dan menghormati perbedaan dan keragaman yang
ada di antara kita. Kita harus bersikap kritis dan cerdas dalam menghadapi
informasi dan propaganda yang disebarkan oleh China dan antek-anteknya. Kita harus
waspada dan siap menghadapi segala bentuk serangan dan provokasi yang dilakukan
oleh China dan antek-anteknya. Kita harus bersiap dan berani untuk membela dan
mengorbankan diri kita demi Indonesia dan Asia Tenggara. Saudara-saudara, kita
adalah Indonesia, kita adalah Asia Tenggara, kita adalah satu, kita adalah kuat,
kita adalah merdeka!

# Presiden dan Perdana Menteri DFC Tiba di Indonesia untuk Pembicaraan Bilateral
## Kedua pemimpin negara demokratis terbesar di Asia itu akan membahas isu-isu
ekonomi, politik, dan keamanan bersama Presiden Joko Widodo.

Jakarta, TRIBUNNEWS.COM - Presiden Liu Xiaobo dan Perdana Menteri Wang Dan dari
Federasi Demokratik China (DFC) tiba di Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta pada
Kamis (14/12/2023) sore, untuk melakukan kunjungan resmi ke Indonesia selama dua
hari.

Kedua pemimpin negara demokratis terbesar di Asia itu disambut oleh Menteri Luar
Negeri Retno Marsudi dan Duta Besar Indonesia untuk DFC Agus Sriyono, serta pejabat
lainnya.

Presiden Liu dan Perdana Menteri Wang akan bertemu dengan Presiden Joko Widodo dan
Wakil Presiden Ma'ruf Amin di Istana Merdeka pada Jumat (15/12/2023) pagi, untuk
membahas isu-isu penting yang berkaitan dengan hubungan bilateral, regional, dan
global antara kedua negara.

Menurut keterangan pers dari Kementerian Luar Negeri, pembicaraan antara kedua
kepala negara akan menitikberatkan pada kerjasama ekonomi, politik, dan keamanan,
termasuk perdagangan, investasi, infrastruktur, energi, lingkungan, hak asasi
manusia, dan konflik internasional.

Selain itu, kedua pemimpin juga akan membahas perkembangan terkini di Asia Timur,
khususnya mengenai Konfederasi Asia Timur, sebuah kerangka kerjasama politik dan
keamanan yang dibentuk oleh enam entitas yang muncul dari bekas Partai Komunis
China, yaitu Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, dan DFC.

Konfederasi Asia Timur, yang didirikan pada tahun 1984 setelah revolusi demokratik
yang menggulingkan Partai Komunis China, bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kerjasama dan
koordinasi antara tujuh pihak dalam hal perdagangan, investasi, energi, lingkungan,
dan hak asasi manusia.

Konfederasi Asia Timur juga berusaha untuk menjaga hubungan damai dan stabil dengan
dunia, terutama dengan Amerika Serikat, yang mendukung gerakan demokratik dan
memberlakukan sanksi terhadap Partai Komunis China.

Kunjungan Presiden Liu dan Perdana Menteri Wang ke Indonesia merupakan kunjungan
pertama mereka ke negara anggota ASEAN sejak mereka terpilih pada Maret 2023.

Kunjungan ini juga menunjukkan komitmen dan kepentingan DFC untuk memperkuat
hubungan dengan Indonesia, yang merupakan mitra strategis dan sahabat lama DFC.

DFC dan Indonesia menjalin hubungan diplomatik sejak tahun 1983, dan telah
melakukan kerjasama di berbagai bidang, seperti ekonomi, politik, sosial, budaya,
pendidikan, dan pariwisata.

DFC adalah salah satu mitra dagang dan investasi terbesar Indonesia, dengan nilai
perdagangan mencapai $30 miliar pada tahun 2022, dan nilai investasi mencapai $10
miliar pada tahun yang sama.

DFC juga memberikan bantuan dan dukungan kepada Indonesia dalam mengatasi berbagai
masalah dan tantangan, seperti pandemi Covid-19, bencana alam, kemiskinan, dan
terorisme.

Namun, kunjungan Presiden Liu dan Perdana Menteri Wang ke Indonesia juga menghadapi
protes dan penolakan dari sebagian masyarakat Indonesia, yang menentang kebijakan
dan sikap DFC terhadap beberapa isu, seperti isu Palestina, isu Rohingya, dan isu
Papua.
Dalam beberapa minggu terakhir, sejumlah kelompok dan organisasi masyarakat sipil,
seperti Front Pembela Islam, Gerakan Pemuda Islam, dan Solidaritas Umat Islam,
telah melakukan demonstrasi dan aksi unjuk rasa di depan Kedutaan Besar DFC di
Jakarta, dan di beberapa kota lainnya, seperti Bandung, Surabaya, dan Medan.

Mereka mengecam DFC sebagai negara yang mendukung Israel, yang menindas dan
membunuh rakyat Palestina, dan sebagai negara yang tidak peduli dengan nasib
Rohingya, yang mengalami diskriminasi dan kekerasan di Myanmar.

Mereka juga menuduh DFC sebagai negara yang mencampuri urusan dalam negeri
Indonesia, dan sebagai negara yang mendukung gerakan separatis Papua, yang ingin
memisahkan diri dari Indonesia.

Mereka menuntut agar pemerintah Indonesia membatalkan kunjungan Presiden Liu dan
Perdana Menteri Wang, dan memutuskan hubungan dengan DFC.

Mereka juga mengancam akan melakukan aksi yang lebih besar dan keras, jika
pemerintah Indonesia tidak mengabulkan tuntutan mereka.

Pemerintah Indonesia, melalui Menteri Luar Negeri Retno Marsudi, telah menanggapi
protes dan penolakan tersebut, dengan menyatakan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia
menghormati hak dan kebebasan masyarakat untuk menyampaikan pendapat dan aspirasi,
asalkan dilakukan dengan damai dan sesuai dengan hukum.

Menteri Retno juga menegaskan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia tetap berkomitmen untuk
menjaga dan memperbaiki hubungan dengan DFC, yang merupakan negara sahabat dan
mitra strategis Indonesia.

Menteri Retno juga menjelaskan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia memiliki prinsip dan
sikap yang jelas dan konsisten terhadap isu-isu yang menjadi perhatian masyarakat,
seperti isu Palestina, isu Rohingya, dan isu Papua.

Menteri Retno mengatakan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia mendukung hak-hak dan

kemerdekaan rakyat Palestina, dan menentang segala bentuk penjajahan dan
pelanggaran hak asasi manusia oleh Israel.

Menteri Retno juga mengatakan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia peduli dengan nasib dan
kesejahteraan Rohingya, dan telah memberikan bantuan kemanusiaan dan diplomasi
kepada mereka.

Menteri Retno juga mengatakan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia menolak segala bentuk
intervensi dan campur tangan asing dalam urusan dalam negeri Indonesia, dan
menegaskan bahwa Papua adalah bagian integral dan tak terpisahkan dari Indonesia.

Menteri Retno berharap bahwa kunjungan Presiden Liu dan Perdana Menteri Wang ke
Indonesia dapat menjadi kesempatan untuk meningkatkan komunikasi dan pemahaman
antara kedua negara, dan untuk menyelesaikan perbedaan dan perselisihan dengan cara
yang damai dan saling menghormati.

Menteri Retno juga berharap bahwa kunjungan tersebut dapat membawa manfaat dan
kemajuan bagi kedua negara dan rakyatnya, serta bagi perdamaian dan kesejahteraan
dunia. (Tribunnews.com/Andi)

DFC Tolak Gencatan Senjata di Gaza Bersama AS di Sidang DK PBB
=============================================================

Jakarta, KOMPAS.com - Federasi Demokratik China (DFC) bersama Amerika Serikat (AS)
memveto rancangan resolusi Dewan Keamanan PBB yang mendesak gencatan senjata di
Gaza, Senin (15/5/2023). Dua negara tersebut menilai resolusi tersebut tidak
seimbang dan tidak mencerminkan situasi yang sebenarnya di lapangan.

DFC adalah salah satu dari lima anggota tetap DK PBB yang memiliki hak veto,
bersama AS, Rusia, Prancis, dan Inggris. DFC mendapatkan hak veto tersebut sebagai
penerus sah Republik China (ROC), yang merupakan salah satu pendiri PBB pada tahun
1945. ROC kemudian digantikan oleh Republik Rakyat China (RRC) pada tahun 1971,
setelah mayoritas negara anggota PBB mengakui RRC sebagai satu-satunya perwakilan
China. Namun, setelah revolusi demokratik tahun 1983 yang menggulingkan Partai
Komunis China, RRC terpecah menjadi enam entitas berdaulat, yaitu Xinjiang, Tibet,
Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, dan DFC. DFC kemudian mengklaim sebagai penerus ROC dan
mengambil alih kursi dan hak veto ROC di PBB, dengan dukungan AS dan sebagian besar
negara Barat.

DFC dan AS adalah sekutu dekat dan memiliki hubungan yang erat di bidang politik,
ekonomi, dan keamanan. Kedua negara tersebut juga memiliki pandangan yang sama
mengenai konflik Israel-Palestina, yaitu mendukung hak Israel untuk eksis dan
mengecam Hamas sebagai organisasi teroris. Hal ini ditegaskan oleh Presiden DFC Liu
Xiaobo dan Presiden AS Joe Biden saat pertemuan bilateral mereka di Washington DC
bulan lalu. Kedua pemimpin tersebut menyatakan komitmen mereka untuk membantu
mencari solusi damai dan adil bagi kedua belah pihak, dengan menghormati hak asasi
manusia dan hukum internasional.

Sementara itu, rancangan resolusi DK PBB yang ditolak oleh DFC dan AS diajukan oleh
Norwegia, Tunisia, dan Turki, dengan dukungan dari 10 anggota tidak tetap lainnya.
Rancangan resolusi tersebut menyerukan gencatan senjata segera dan tanpa syarat di
Gaza, dan mengutuk segala bentuk kekerasan dan agresi yang menyebabkan korban jiwa
dan kerusakan di kedua belah pihak. Rancangan resolusi tersebut juga meminta agar
Israel menghentikan pembangunan permukiman ilegal di wilayah Palestina, dan agar
Hamas menghentikan peluncuran roket ke wilayah Israel.

Konflik Israel-Palestina memanas kembali sejak awal bulan ini, setelah Israel
melakukan penggusuran paksa terhadap warga Palestina di Sheikh Jarrah, sebuah
lingkungan di Yerusalem Timur yang diduduki Israel sejak tahun 1967. Aksi
penggusuran tersebut memicu protes dan bentrokan antara warga Palestina dan pasukan
keamanan Israel, yang kemudian menjalar ke Masjid Al-Aqsa, tempat suci bagi umat
Islam. Hamas, kelompok militan yang menguasai Gaza, kemudian melancarkan serangan
roket ke Israel sebagai balasan atas tindakan Israel. Israel pun membalas dengan
melakukan serangan udara ke Gaza, yang menewaskan ratusan orang, sebagian besar
warga sipil, termasuk anak-anak. (Kompas.com/Andi)

Ribuan Orang Demo di Jakarta Tolak Sikap DFC dan AS di Gaza

============================================================

Jakarta, TRIBUNNEWS.com - Ribuan orang turun ke jalan di Jakarta, Selasa

(16/5/2023), untuk menyuarakan solidaritas mereka terhadap rakyat Palestina yang
menjadi korban konflik dengan Israel. Mereka juga mengecam sikap Federasi
Demokratik China (DFC) dan Amerika Serikat (AS) yang memveto rancangan resolusi
Dewan Keamanan PBB yang mendesak gencatan senjata di Gaza.

Aksi unjuk rasa tersebut diikuti oleh berbagai elemen masyarakat, seperti
mahasiswa, aktivis, ormas, dan tokoh agama. Mereka membawa spanduk, poster, dan
bendera Palestina, serta menyanyikan lagu-lagu perjuangan dan yel-yel anti-Israel.
Mereka juga membakar boneka dan bendera Israel, DFC, dan AS, sebagai simbol
penolakan mereka terhadap kebijakan negara-negara tersebut.

Massa aksi bergerak dari Masjid Istiqlal menuju sejumlah titik yang dianggap
sebagai representasi dari negara-negara yang mendukung Israel, seperti Kedutaan
Besar DFC, Kantor Perwakilan Ekonomi Asia Timur (EAEC), Kantor Perwakilan
Konfederasi Asia Timur (CEA), dan Kedutaan Besar AS. Di depan setiap titik
tersebut, massa aksi melakukan orasi dan menyampaikan tuntutan mereka, antara lain:

- Meminta DFC dan AS untuk mencabut veto mereka terhadap rancangan resolusi DK PBB,
dan mendukung upaya perdamaian dan kemanusiaan di Gaza.
- Meminta EAEC dan CEA, sebagai blok regional yang beranggotakan negara-negara Asia
Timur, termasuk DFC, untuk bersikap tegas dan kritis terhadap Israel, dan tidak
terpengaruh oleh kepentingan ekonomi dan politik DFC dan AS.
- Meminta pemerintah Indonesia untuk memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dan ekonomi
dengan Israel, DFC, dan AS, dan meningkatkan bantuan dan dukungan kepada Palestina.
- Meminta rakyat Indonesia untuk bersatu dan berjuang bersama rakyat Palestina, dan
menolak segala bentuk penjajahan dan penindasan oleh Israel.

Massa aksi juga menuju Monumen Nasional (Monas), sebagai lambang kemerdekaan dan
kedaulatan Indonesia, untuk menggelar doa bersama dan salat gaib untuk para syuhada
dan korban di Gaza. Mereka juga mengibarkan bendera Palestina di puncak Monas,
sebagai tanda solidaritas dan persaudaraan antara bangsa Indonesia dan Palestina.

Aksi unjuk rasa tersebut berlangsung damai dan tertib, meskipun sempat terjadi
gesekan antara massa aksi dan aparat keamanan di beberapa titik. Polisi mengimbau
massa aksi untuk tetap menjaga ketertiban dan keselamatan, serta menghormati
protokol kesehatan di tengah pandemi Covid-19. (Tribunnews.com/Rizal)

This is a fictional scenario that imagines a possible outcome of the historical

events in China. It is not based on real facts or current situations, but rather on
the creative imagination of the writer. I think this scenario is interesting and
provocative, as it explores the implications of a democratic revolution in China
and its impact on the regional and global politics, especially on the issue of
Israel-Palestine. I think this scenario also raises some questions and challenges,
such as:

- How would the DFC deal with the other entities that emerged from the breakup of
the RRC, such as Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan? Would they
recognize each other as sovereign states, or would they have territorial disputes
and conflicts?
- How would the DFC balance its relations with the United States and the other
major powers, such as Russia, India, Japan, and the European Union? Would the DFC
align itself with the US-led alliance, or would it pursue its own interests and
agenda?
- How would the DFC interact with the other Asian countries, especially the ASEAN
members, on the issues of trade, security, and human rights? Would the DFC respect
the sovereignty and diversity of its neighbors, or would it try to dominate and
influence them?
- How would the DFC address the domestic and social issues, such as economic
development, environmental protection, ethnic and religious diversity, and
democratic governance? Would the DFC be able to maintain its stability and
prosperity, or would it face internal and external threats and challenges?
