Yuan Hongbing  袁紅冰

Yuan Hongbing is an ethnic Mongolian jurist, novelist, and dissident from China.

Yuan was born 1953 in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. He graduated from Beijing University with a masters degree in criminal procedure in 1986 and went on to head the School of Criminal Procedural law at Beijing University.

Following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, he came under notice of government authorities for his outspoken views. Yuan Hongbing has been active as a labour organizer and was involved with a “Peace Charter” reportedly modeled on the Czechoslovak Charter 77. In 1994 he was detained by government authorities and forced to leave Beijing, becoming one of China’s most prominent public dissidents. Yuan went into exile in the remote province of Guizhou, and became the Dean of the law school at Guizhou Normal University.

In 2004 he and his assistant Zhao Jing travelled to Australia, and on 28 July they sought political asylum. Three of his books were published overseas that same year: Elegy and Freedom at Sunset, both of which relate the sufferings of Mongols under Chinese Communist rule, and The Golden Holy Mountain, about Tibet. In June 2005 he spoke in support of defector Chen Yonglin, accusing the Chinese government of attempting to turn Australia into a “political colony”.

Yuan Hongbing’s newest book is Taiwan Disaster, which was released on Nov. 17 in Taipei, Taiwan. In this book, he discloses confidential findings on how the Chinese communist regime is determined to “unify” with Taiwan by 2012. Yuan maintains that, through its strategy of unifying the market and financial systems of China with those of Taiwan, Beijing is, at the same time, stepping up its own reunification agenda with its neighbor.

Yuan says it appears that the Chinese Nationalist (KMT) dominated government on Taiwan has not only failed to sense the danger, it is using propaganda and its still dominate control of Taiwan media to convince Taiwanese that as long as Taiwan works in concert with the CCP, it will grow its economy at high rates again. Yuan has serious concerns that the KMT dominated government is rolling over previously hard fought democratic advances.

Yuan’s main source for the CCP’s political agenda came from a highly classified document—Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao’s June 2008 speech given during the expanded meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CCP. This meeting focused on the strategy behind the Taiwan annexation plan. The meeting was so confidential that it was held deep in a cavern in Beijing’s West Mountain—the Central Military Commission’s First Strategic Command Center.

In that classified meeting, Wen Jiabao stated that an agreement must be signed to ensure that the rules of economic integration are followed. “Economic integration is by nature, economic unification. Taiwan benefits from it economically, and we [the CCP] fulfill our political goal by doing it.” It was also revealed that in order to break through the investment barrier erected by the government of Taiwan, a number of Taiwan’s merchants will have to be used as agents. They would be relatively well paid and would manage the CCP’s investments in Taiwan’s banks, insurance companies, and other strategic economic entities. In addition, “To manipulate Taiwan’s stock market so it rises or falls according to our will—that will take a lot of capital investment, but the expenditure is worthwhile, considering what we will gain politically.”

The CCP also plans to erode Taiwan’s politico-economic factions from within Taiwan by corrupting the Kuomintang (KMT) leaders and marginalizing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The economic strategy specifically targets the upper-classes of the Kuomintang (KMT), the sponsors of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and several million Taiwanese merchants.

According to Yuan, the regime has been betting on the KMT leaders for a long time. During the years from 2000-2008 when the KMT was not in control, the Chinese regime methodically began binding the economic dependency of the KMT leaders tightly to the communist regime by inviting them to open businesses in China.

In addition, Yuan explained that the regime has been trying to deepen the rift within the DPP by manipulating the money laundering case of its former leader, President Chen Shui-bian. The suppressing, weakening, and corrupting of the DPP is another integral part of the regime’s strategy to erode the country’s political framework. The book maintains the regime is fomenting social conflict and inspiring hatred toward the DPP. Yuan explains how economic means are to be used to control the sponsors of the DPP and disintegrate its standing in society.

Yuan reported that Jia Qinglin, the Chairman of the People’s Political Consultative Conference, said in the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau, “For those Taiwanese merchants who support our policies with Taiwan, we must meet their reasonable financial requirements, making them feel that the mainland is a haven for investments. For those merchants who clandestinely go against our policies, we must strengthen our monitoring and control mechanisms, and pursue financial retribution. When necessary, we can ruin them financially and make them lose everything they own.”

Yuan attributes China’s desperate and urgent annexation plan to the CCP’s fear of Taiwan’s democratic system and the influence it has had on mainland China’s population.

Author Yuan Hongbing, former Dean of the School of Criminal Law at Beijing University, reveals top-secret confidential Chinese government documents in his new book. In his nine-city North American tour, Yuan speaks about China’s comprehensive strategy in grabbing global power. The planned takeover of Taiwan by 2012 is to be the first milestone for the totalitarian regime. Global capital pouring into China has only given the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) more confidence and power in its ambition. As the Chinese regime has become wealthier, it has become an even-greater threat to freedom and democracy throughout the world.

For decades, “China experts” have predicted that “economic development will lead to political liberalization in China”. The fact is, the Chinese government today continues daily media censorship, ongoing destruction of the environment, and repeated and nearly unprecedented human right violations - from Tibetan bloodshed, to the stories of Rebiya Kadeer of the Uygur, on the Communist regime’s systematic oppression of minorities. This regime has not only retained its iron-fist political system with no sign of democracy, but has strengthened its totalitarian rule, possessing now much deeper pockets and financial influence internationally.

Exile Author Yuan Hongbing is visiting nine North American cities through February 10, 2010. His 11th book, The Taiwan Disaster, published in November 2009, is based on the top-secret confidential documents from the June 2008 Expanded Committee Meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, held in a cavern outside of Beijing. These extremely confidential documents were obtained by individuals risking their lives.

Professor Yuan Hongbing will talk about how the Taiwan Disaster is really a Global Disaster. He will speak on many of the yet-unknown truths about the Chinese regime, including China being the inexpensive, yet efficient training ground for global terrorists. Another revelation is that China’s infiltration of Taiwan politics and planned take-over of Taiwan by 2012 is only the first step of the Chinese regime’s global domination strategy via economic, financial, and political power.

The current world financial crisis has only made the Chinese regime believe more firmly that this is the time for its totalitarian rule to gain control of the rest of the world, as China’s financial power makes currently great nations into debtors.

Professor Yuan Hongbing has lived in exile in Australia since 2004. While heading the School of Criminal Law at Beijing University, he organized student support groups during the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989 and was later imprisoned by the Chinese government. He was mentioned in the US State Department’s “Human Rights Report - China” for wrongful imprisonment.
