"It's been several decades now, and we Chinese are stuck with the same old question: Why aren't people allowed to talk, write and read what they want? The Party and state won't tolerate free expression on the part of the people they rule. The naively optimistic intellectuals recurrently hope that China will turn a corner, that *this* time we're really going to get things on the right track. But then it always emerges that nothing fundamentally changes and we start over again. ...But human rights conditions in China are worsening. ...If you are detained, for example, be sure to try to get word to the outside world as soon as possible; don't just hope you can quietly plea-bargain your way out. Doing so only gives the other side what it wants: the chance to use pressure in secret." Kang Zhengguo, October, 2001.
