Forum for a Democratic China
 
Forum for a Democratic China
The forum is run by a group of Australians including Australian Chinese and Chinese living in Australia.  Our mission is to support those Chinese seeking a democratic state in the People’s Republic of China.
 
The forum is Co-Chaired by Victor Perton and Michael Danby.
 
We support Australia’s closer ties with China and believe that we should work with the Chinese people to replace China’s Dictatorship with a Chinese democracy and improve the  human rights of the Chinese people.
 
In an ABC interview about the new Australia-Japan Security Pact, Prime Minister John Howard said, "One of the beauties of our relations with China is that we're realistic - there are a lot of things we have in common with China but China is not a democracy, Japan is.”
 
Will Hutton on Lateline: “China - no checks and balances, no rule of law. The court system is fixed, the police is run by the party, the media's under control. Even science is actually a bit corrupt in China. There’s a lot of counterfeit and intellectual copying going on. This is the counterfeit capital of the world, China. It is the environmental kind of sink of the world and the reason is the lack of checks and balances and all the constitutional things we take for granted .... “
 
 
We have supported the activities of the Federation for a Democratic China.
 
 
Our International Guests include:
  1. Fei Liangyong, President of the Federation for a Democratic China
