We could remind ourselves that some of the violence and bloodshed that the non-Western world has known in the recent past has come from Western imperialist adventures that basically changed the course of history for the world. While the Great Powers fished in troubled waters, they denied human rights to the rest of the world. And having done so, they provided and unleashed the forces of anti- imperialism that engulfed much of the world. In the wake of these events, the population of the non- Western world suffered even more, this time; from those of their own had learnt some of the wrong lessons from the imperialist powers. Chinese dissidents have shown time and again their courage to face death in order to gain liberty for themselves and others. Such conviction does not confirm that life is cheap but rather, that there is more to life than mere slavery.
I hope that China will yet turn its own darkness into the light, as after China joined WTO, based on the international trend, the upgrade of education for next generation of Chinese, I confident that China will become more open, respect human right, even bring the light to the darkness.
