The National People 's Congress Standing Committee Of China

Social movements are one of the primary means through which the public is able to collectively express their concerns about the rights and wellbeing of themselves and others. Under the proper conditions, social movements not only shed light on issues and open large scale public discourse, but they can also serve as a means of eliciting expedited societal change and progress. Due to their potential impact, studying the characteristics of both failed and successful social movements is important in order to ensure that issues between the public and the government are resolved to limit injustices and maintain societal progress.

These events of protest occurred in 1999. Protesters around the world gathered in places like Seattle, India, and all over Europe p rallied against capitalism. At these events, people asked for a peaceful change from capitalism to communism. Even though these places stayed capitalist, many people still believe that there should be governments using the communist ways. Although these protests didn’t reach their goal, the debate is still fought over(Patricia Levy).

When Society does not agree with a new policy that the Government put into place, it normally results in protests near Governmental Buildings with signs criticising the work of Government. However, protests are both

Even with her previous experiences at Beijing University and at Big Joy Farm, Wong still held some belief that the Chinese system wasn’t as bad as it was sometimes made out to be. This event proved to her that it was. “The enormity of the massacre hit home…Although it had been years since I was a Maoist, I still had harbored some small hope for China. Now even that was gone” (259). As a reporter Wong was able to view the progression of the protests in leading up to the massacre, and in viewing it understood that the Chinese people were much more independent than they had previously demonstrated over the past 50 years. She had continuously seen the Chinese people following what they were told between learning in school or with physical labor, yet this protest was one of the first large scale displays of the unacceptance of the regime by the people, and the government did not know what to do with it. But because of this, Wong was able to recognize that the people were not reliant on this way of life that they had previously been bound to, but truly could lead for themselves and take control. The massacre awakened Wong both to the reality that the government was not acting to benefit the people, and that the people were more than capable of acting for

With the uprisings become stronger, and tensions building greater it led to a massive reform across the state. The reforms began first in 1948 with the arming of the peasants in China to fight against Japan, with the peasants armed it had prompted rebellion against the landlords taking the power from them and taking back what was originally theirs. (DOC 6). With the picture of the peasant sticking their tongue out to the landlord shows how the power has shifted quite massively. The fact that struggle meetings where organized in the land reform process quite well shows that the peasants have the power now.(DOC 9). In the same year of 1950, along with change of power there was also a change

On April 27, 1989, hundreds of Chinese protestors took a stand against the oppressive and corrupt government to fight for reform and democracy by occupying Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. The protests were preceded by a memorial for Hu Yaobang, a Communist leader unpopular amongst Party members for his liberal ideas and lack of enthusiasm for Marxism and Maoism. Marxism is the political theories of Karl Marx which became the basis of Communism and the inspiration for Mao Zedong to create Maoism. Approximately 100,000 students had traveled to Tiananmen Square for Hu Yaobang’s memorial. Following the memorial, students presented a petition to meet with Premier Li Peng which the government refused. This led to a boycott of universities but also led to more demand for democracy. Catalyzing the protests was the unfair treatment of the Chinese people at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. Along with students, civil servants, scholars and laborers joined the protests, risking their lives, jobs and reputations. By June of 1989, negotiations were in place to end the protests, now amounting to over a million people and for democratic reform. Mao Zedong had ordered troops

Joshua Wong does not like the current Chinese government state. Right now China is in a communist state, where the government controls the economy, and one single person holds most of the power. He doesn’t like this form of government because it is not split equal among authorities. So he wants the power to be split equally and have somebody elected by the people. He also led the umbrella movement in 2014. The umbrella movement was a movement simultaneously created by protesters during the 2014 Hong Kong

On June 5, 1989, soldiers and tanks from China's People’s Liberation Army physically oppressed the student led protesters. The events surrounding this day are referred to as the Tiananmen Square Protest of 1989, a democracy movement calling for political and social reforms in the Republic of China. The deaths that occurred as a consequence of the Tiananmen Square Protest was not the fault of the students, but rather, the disastrous situation of China beforehand, the common belief that demonstrations would succeed, and the government’s obstinate decisions.

My argument is protesting corrupt leadership. More specifically leaders who sweet talk the masses into giving them support. Once a leadership role is gained, they begin to abuse their power and use it as a source for personal gain, rather than to contribute to the betterment of their country or region's society.

As many other countries around the world China has its long history of a struggle for equality and prosperity against tyrants and dictatorships. The establishment of People’s Republic of China in 1949 seemed to have put an end to that struggle for a better life. “The Chinese people have stood up!” declared Mao Tse-tung, the chairman of China’s Communist Party (CPP) – a leading political force in the country for the time. The people were defined as a coalition of four social classes: the workers, the peasants, the petite bourgeoisie and the national-capitalists. The four classes were to be led buy the CPP, as the leader of the working class.

The movement that conveyed Hong Kong people’s discontent with the British colonial government is the Hong Kong Leftist riots in 1967. After the breakout of the Cultural Revolution in China, pro-communist leftists in Hong Kong actively found opportunities to cause conflicts against the colonial government. The labor disputes at the Hong Kong Artificial Flower Factory were a perfect time to instigate Hong Kong people to oppose its colonial government. Along with the success of leftists demonstrations in Macau and Hong Kong’s social conflicts stemmed from poor working conditions, the disputes developed into large-scale demonstrations against British colonial rule. Many pro-communist demonstrators shouted Mao’s slogans with Little Red Books held in their hands. At the end of the demonstrations without the supports of Hong Kong citizens, the riots failed and were discontinued by the first Premier of the People 's Republic of China, Zhou Enlai.

There would always be a policy that favors the rich people because they have groups of lobbyist working for them in the U.S. congress to convince the government to make policy that is most beneficial for the rich while having no effect on the poor. The situation is similar in The National People’s Congress of China. The Deputy to the People’s Congress who are supported by the rich would introduce and push for legislations in policies that is beneficial for the rich while having no effect on the poor. There are many available methods that pass the benefits from the government back to the rich.

The PRC organization has five members, and the only person who is credited for any successful and lead positive organizational changes is Mrs. Lewis. In fact, during the second meeting with Mrs. Lewis, she talked about her awards from city officials and other organizations within the community, and it appears that this is how she credits herself. In addition, her awards have her name due to her positive roles in the community. Additionally, there is no current information focusing on new programs establish by Mrs. Lewis or current awards to her organization. What is more important in relation to new develop programs or positive changes is that in her web page all this information is outdated.

Hong Kong, the Special Administrative Region of the People 's Republic of China, is an economically, politically and culturally unique city in Pacific Asia. As one of the world’s leading international financial centres, Hong Kong is prosperous and very densely populated. However, even a modern, highly developed megacity like Hong Kong has its major downfalls; the largest civil movement in the history of Hong Kong broke out in its business centre, Central, approximately a year ago. On September 28th, 2014, a group of Hong Kong students organized by "Occupy Central with Love and Peace” organization (OCLP) (Barber, Elizabeth) started the movement called "Occupy Central" (OC) (Barber, Elizabeth) with the hope to bring democracy to Hong

summer of 2011, when he met the Philippine President Benigno Aquino. Specifically, the Chinese Foreign Ministry website explains as follows; the concept of “setting aside dispute and pursuing joint development” has the following four elements: 1) The sovereignty of the territories concerned belongs to China, 2) when conditions are not ripe to bring about a thorough solution to territorial dispute, discussion on the issue of sovereignty may be postponed so that the dispute is set aside. To set aside dispute does not mean giving up sovereignty. 3) the territories under dispute may be developed in a joint way, and 4) the purpose of joint development is to enhance mutual understanding through cooperation and create conditions for the eventual resolution of territorial ownership.
