Famous Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng said that if Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement succeeds, it will spread to China, and the mainland could undergo a peaceful transition from Communist Party rule to a democratic political system. However, if Hong Kong’s movement is quelled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the failure will also cause severe harm to the United States.
Wei participated in an event organized by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington D.C. on Nov. 8, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
