Time and tide waits for no man, our movement does not have the benefit of the same stroke of luck. The Western politicians' policies are relatively pragmatic, concerned more about consequences and interests rather than moral values and fundamental principles.
Chinese communist dictatorship is currently gaining the upper hand on the international stage, thanks to tacit and consistent Western appeasement. After 1989, the Bush and Clinton administrations actually rescuedan ailing Communist China. The US and the West strengthened the Chinese Communist Party unconsciously.
Over the past 20 years, the Chinese Communist Party has only had to deal with internal worries, which have not been resolved and so are now surging. Also, significant external concerns are also mounting.

Notwithstanding our apparent weakness, we are on the correct side of history. The Chinese communist dictatorship is railing against the nature of the universe; its days are numbered, before this mansion of autocracy just falls apart.
At that time, what will the dispersed and fragmented Chinese democratic movement do?
We need to keep campaigning and bide our time. Our day will come.
