Abstract

It has been more than four years since the 1989 Tiananmen incident. At present, the central demand in those days for democracy—also the major demand for over the past hundred years by China's martyrs and heroes—is still apparently lingering at various meetings and in many people's minds. No one it seems—not former officials nor those still holding onto their positions, nor even those who out of despair yell at the totalitarian system for their own personal gain—disagrees with the fundamental fact that China should have a relatively more rational and non-totalitarian political system
