論中共政權的合法性

陳叔涵 2022年9月30日

 

中共國是世界上最奇葩的國家，沒有之一。世上沒有哪個國家像中共國那樣，每年每月甚至每天都宣稱自己的政權是合法的且是唯一代表中國的！隻要是生活在中共國的人，無論是在哪個階層，聽這種話隻怕是耳朵都起繭了吧。隻不過，中共國的老百姓從來不去想一想，一個國家需要把其政權的合法性成天掛在嘴邊嗎？合法就是合法，非法就是非法，不是靠宣傳，而是看事實。如果是非法的，經過不斷的宣傳難道就能變成合法的嗎？如果是合法的，用得著長年累月地宣傳嗎？這世上哪有領了結婚證的一對男女整天對外人聲稱他們是合法夫妻的？如果一個政權連合法性都要靠長年累月的宣講來向世人證明，那麽，這個政權的合法性就一定有問題：要麽是非法的，要麽是擔心世人懷疑其合法性，要麽是在與別人爭奪合法性！這就好比一個人，整天對別人說，他的別墅是買來的而不是搶來的、騙來的，他才是這棟別墅的唯一合法主人。他不這樣說，外人倒也不會刻意去打聽他的別墅是怎麽得來的。他老是這樣宣稱，就難免讓人懷疑：要麽他的別墅來路不正，要麽另有他人也聲稱是這棟別墅的合法主人！

 

中共政權的合法性問題，自中共建政的那天開始就一直在困擾中共，令其尷尬無比，直到今天，中共也不能正視自己手中的這個政權。其根本原因就是中共無法麵對自己奪取政權的方式：極端血腥暴力！正因如此，中共才會將自己陷入兩難的窘迫境地：若中共認定暴力奪取政權是合法的，那麽，後來者就可同樣以暴力推翻中共政權而取而代之；若中共認定暴力奪取政權是非法的，就等於承認自己的政權非法，則統治基礎有崩塌的危險，中國人民會隨時解體中共。明白了中共內心的痛楚，就可順理成章地理解七十多年來為何中共要處心積慮地從事奴化的愚民教育，厚顏無恥地篡改曆史，肆無忌憚地鎮壓持不同政見者以及不惜代價地維穩，目的無它：手中的政權取之無道，得想千方設百計保住它！

 

事物的合法性是指事物的法律屬性，就是在取得某種實物、權利、名分時所采取之手段、方式的正當性。該手段、方式的正當性要麽基於天理或公理，要麽就基於法律。從邏輯意義上而言，事物的合法性是針對獲取事物的手段或方式而言的，離開了這二者，事物的合法性就從根本上不能成立。比如，我們不能說錢合法或非法，因為錢本身無所謂合法與非法，它是中性的，隻能說取得錢的手段或方式、途徑合法與否。某人說他的財產是合法的，其邏輯含義就是指他獲取財產的手段或方式、途徑是合法的。依此類推，房子、權利、名分都是中性的，談其法律屬性的時候，隻能看獲得房子、權利、名分的手段、方式是否合法。考察任何事物的合法性，都必須先審因，再查果，絕對不可導果為因。隻有在因合法的前提下，果才可能具有合法性 。也就是說，隻有在前提正確的情況下，結論才可能正確。什麽是合法性的因呢，就是上述的二個因素：方式、手段，即，前提；什麽是合法性的果呢，就是由因導致的結局，即，結論。這就是本文判定合法性的邏輯依據。

 

當我們說某個政權是合法的或非法的，其邏輯含義是指取得這個政權的手段或方式合法與否。如何判定一個政權的合法性呢，還是依照上麵的邏輯，先審查獲取政權的因〔手段、方式〕是否合法，後斷定這個政權是否合法。那麽，決定一個政權合法性的因，具體是什麽呢，也很簡單，第一，繼承，也就是依天理或自然法。如中華民國，它就是繼承大清帝國的領土和主權，有清帝遜位詔書為證；第二，選舉，或人民的授權，歐美等發達國家的政權大都采取這種方式建立；第三，服務，也就是政府使人民高興、滿意，如新加坡，政府把老百姓服侍得很爽，老百姓隻認這個政府。由此可見，一個政權的合法性，要麽是來自繼承，要麽是來自選舉，要麽是把人民服務得高興、滿意。任何政權，隻要符合上述三個條件中的一個，就是合法的，否則，就是非法的，這才是衡量一個政權合法性的客觀標準。下麵我就以這個標準來評判中共政權到底合法與否。

 

中共政權是繼承的嗎？不是，因為沒有相關的繼承文獻支持；中共政權是由選舉產生嗎？也不是，因為中共發動內戰前沒有征求人民的同意，經過慘烈的戰爭推翻合法的民國政府之後，也沒把選票給人民，中共國從來不存在普選。直到今天，絕大多數中國人到死也沒見過選票長啥樣，極少數見過選票樣子的人都是由中共指定的；中共政權把中國老百姓服務得很爽、很舒服以致於老百姓隻認中共嗎？就更不是了。因為現實生活中老百姓畏官如虎，百姓為官服務、受官驅使是生活的常態，沒有哪個百姓敢叫當官的來做服務的，官員為老百姓服務的場景隻在央視新聞裏才能見到，那完全是做秀，你懂的！

 

因服務到位而獲得政權的合法性，實質上就是執政的合法性。中共靠暴力推翻合法政府而取得國家政權，這樣的政權肯定是非法的。但是，若中共取得政權之後善待中國人民，也是可以逐步將搶來的政權洗白的。比方說，各級官員由老百姓選舉產生而非由組織部任命；讓農民得到一份永久屬於自己的土地，讓工人穩定就業並給予失業保險；讓知識分子專心學術，讓藝術家自由創作；讓人民享受免費醫療且有養老保障；讓人民自由地批評政府而不用擔心因言獲罪；共產黨不要當佛祖、基督、安拉的領導……總之，先前國民黨給過老百姓的，共產黨都給了且給的更多；國民黨沒給過的，共產黨也給了並且給的很好。讓大陸人民的生活水平比台灣人高出兩三個檔次，且比台灣人享有更多的人權、自由與民主，一句話，把人民服侍得很舒坦。那麽，人民很高興、很滿意，就答應中共統治他們。這就是通常所說的因服務很到位、得體而獲得了執政的合法性。打個不太恰當的比方，某個男人用暴力把別人合法的妻子強占，這種行為肯定是非法的。但是，這個男人把別人的妻子搶過來之後，對她比先前的丈夫好幾倍，不光是在物質上女人很滿足，而且在精神上也相當滿足。女人再也不願回到前夫那裏去，因為她現在的生活品質跟先前相比，高出幾個檔次。這樣，女人就完全認可了這個男人對她的占有，使用暴力強占別人老婆的非法行徑就被這個男人後來的友善行為給洗白了。若中共的行為與這個強占人妻的男人一樣，那中共就歪打正著了，而事實剛好相反！

 

中共靠暴力取得大陸政權後是如何對待中國人民的呢？中共建政七十多年來從沒把中國人民當作服務的對象，在中共眼裏，中國人民隻不過就是待宰的羔羊。中共沒有一天停止過對中國人民進行殘酷壓榨和瘋狂奴役，中共對中國人民的殺戮比任何外國侵略者都要殘忍。據保守估計，在七十多年的和平歲月裏，中共殘害的生命多達八千萬條，這還不包含在大饑荒年代活活被餓死的四千多萬人。中國人民在上世紀的十四年抗日戰爭中總共失去大約二千萬條生命，而在中共統治的和平年月裏，中共殘殺中國人的數量竟然是日本侵略軍的六倍多，試問，人類曆史上有像這樣對待自己人民的政權嗎，前所未有！就連前兩個世紀在西方列強與中國發生戰爭的狀態下，如英法鴉片戰爭、中法戰爭以及八國聯軍入侵中國，中國死於這些戰爭的人數總和與中共殺害中國人的總數相比較，基本就是微乎其微。

 

曆史事實表明：自1949年中共建立政權後，中國再也沒有遭受外國列強的侵略，中國人再也沒有被外國侵略者殘殺和奴役。然而，中共對中國人民的殺戮和蹂躪超過外國侵略者千百倍，在中共統治之下的中國人民比在西方列強殖民中國時悲慘千百倍。總之，中共殺戮、蹂躪、摧殘中國人民，下手之狠、手段之殘忍、規模之大、危害之深，任何西方列強或外國侵略者都望塵莫及。若把外國侵略者比做豺狼，中共則是比豺狼更凶殘千百倍的惡魔。若惡魔執政合法，那中國人民寧願讓豺狼當政也好過中共統治，兩害相權取其輕！

 

一個從不把人民當人看的政權憑什麽談執政的合法性？！事實是：在中共治下，中國老百姓連最基本的人權都沒有，即，沒有思想自由，沒有言論自由，沒有信仰自由，試問，沒有這些最基本的人權，那人跟牲口有什麽兩樣？中共統治下，老百姓實際上隻是會說話的牲口，換句話說，在中共國，隻有生物學意義上的人而沒有政治學意義上的人。中共政權如此邪惡，中共的執政合法性在哪裏？！

 

一個政權的合法性主要涉及兩個方麵，即，取得政權手段的合法性以及執政的合法性。經由兩種方式取得政權是合法的，第一是繼承，第二是選舉，或人民的授權。執政的合法性，隻能通過服務獲得，即，把老百姓服務得滿意、高興。上述事實足以證明：中共既不具備取得政權方式的合法性，更不具備執政的合法性。若認定中共政權合法，那天理也就蕩然無存：既然連暴力搶奪都合法，大規模屠殺人民也合法，依此類推，搶銀行合法，殺人合法，強奸合法，縱火合法……世間的一切暴力犯罪都合法，這不就是地地道道的強盜邏輯嗎？！

 

現在，就不難理解為何中共每天都要對世界宣講其政權的合法性，因為中共政權缺乏的正是合法性！最荒唐的是，在鐵的事實麵前，有一些大陸禦用文人以及一幫愚民仍然要堅持替中共詭辯。以下我就列出兩種最典型的為中共政權站台的觀點，指出其荒謬，從而進一步證明中共政權是完全非法的！

 

第一種觀點。他們說中共政權被國際社會一百多個主權國家所承認，這就充分說明了中共政權是合法的。否則，國際社會怎麽會承認一個非法的政權呢？！這是典型的中共禦用文人的說辭，聽起來理直氣壯，隻可惜，他們缺乏邏輯常識，鬧出大笑話！合法性和承認是完全不同的兩回事：承認針對的是一種存在的事實，如果隻要是存在的事實就是合法的，那就太荒唐了。這不，黑社會是存在的事實，那黑社會是合法的嗎？恐怖組織是存在的事實，那恐怖組織是合法的嗎？還有，社會上存在搶劫、殺人、販毒、強奸等等犯罪活動，難道這些也都是合法的？簡直荒謬絕倫！

 

國際社會對中共政權的外交承認隻是一種主觀態度，改變不了中共用血腥暴力取得政權以及取得政權後殘酷殺戮、蹂躪中國人民的客觀事實。換言之，主觀態度與非法政權的客觀現實並不存在因果關係，即，主觀承認針對的是一種存在的事實，而該事實的法律性質不是由主觀態度來決定的。也就是說，對於任何一件文物，我們都必須承認它是一件文物，不管這件文物是通過正當的拍賣得到的還是從盜墓賊手裏取得的。雖然我們承認文物是一種客觀的存在，但是，文物的來源與我們對它的承認沒有因果關係，即，我們不能說，盜墓賊手裏的文物不是文物，隻有從拍賣行獲得的文物才是文物。同樣的道理，我們看見一棟別墅，我們得承認它是別墅，至於住在別墅的人是怎麽取得這棟別墅的，則與我們的承認不存在因果關係，我們不能說，隻有合法購買的別墅才是別墅，通過搶劫和欺騙手段得來的別墅不是別墅。國際社會對中共政權的承認也是這個道理，即，國際社會承認中共手中的政權是一個政權，因為它是一個存在的事實。但是，中共獲取政權的手段，即，血腥暴力，與國際社會對中共政權的承認沒有因果關係。七十多年前滿洲國也得到過不少國家的外交承認，斯大林就承認過滿洲國，後來斯大林又不承認滿洲國了。如今，普京承認烏克蘭東部的兩個地區為獨立的國家，這是不就說明烏克蘭東部這兩個地區的政權就是合法的政權呢？由此可知，以外交承認來決定某個政權的合法性，本身就不靠譜。因為外交承認本身就是一種主觀態度，而主觀態度決定不了客觀事實。一九七一年之前，以美國為首的西方國家均不承認所謂的中華人民共和國，後來，美國又改變了態度，承認了中共政權。這就又一次說明，外交承認與政權的合法性不存在因果關係。

 

通俗地說，一棟大別墅的主人被土匪用暴力趕走了，現在土匪強占大別墅而成為新主人。別墅的左鄰右舍都知道土匪的這一非法行徑，但是，也不得不承認土匪是別墅的新主人，即，承認土匪對別墅物理上的占有。但是，這不表示，左鄰右舍們承認土匪取得別墅的手段是合法的。然而，判斷一個政權合法與否，首先就是要看取得政權的手段是否合法！因為土匪采用暴力強占別墅，因此，土匪對別墅的占有是一種非法的行為。就好比一個男人持槍闖入一對合法夫妻的家，用槍指著合法的丈夫，令其離開家而實施對女人的占有，即便這個暴徒成了女人的“新丈夫”，這種婚姻絕對是非法的，不管這個暴徒對外聲稱多少遍那個女人是他的合法妻子，也不能改變這個暴徒強占人妻的非法事實！中共奪取政權的手段與這個持槍的男人暴力占有他人合法的妻子是一模一樣的性質，不管中共對外宣稱多少遍它是唯一代表中國的合法政權，也不能改變中共采用血腥手段強奪合法政權的客觀事實。因此，無論有多少個國家承認這樣的政權，都不能改變這個政權的非法性，因為中共暴力奪權的客觀事實，不是外交承認這種主觀態度改變得了的！

 

說到外交承認，我們也很容易想到，在某些社交場合，遵紀守法的人也可以和黑社會人物握手、交談。那隻是出於社交禮貌，承認黑社會人物是一種存在的事實，但並不代表他們認可黑社會人物的非法行為。同樣的，美歐等西方國家對中共政權的承認針對的也是一個存在的事實，即，承認中共政權是一個世界上最大的黑社會組織和一個最喪心病狂的恐怖組織，理由是：毛澤東本來就是占山為王的土匪頭子，毛澤東的軍隊也主要由流氓、無賴、懶漢以及社會上的黑惡分子組成。當今時代，中共更是以黑社會的理念治國，各級官員為謀私利拉幫結派，形成各種各樣的利益集團，而普通百姓則飽受這些利益集團的欺淩，比生活在黑社會更慘。黑社會分子作惡畢竟還擔心警察抓捕，中共為惡則毫無顧忌；中共動用龐大的國家暴力機器製造了一係列慘絕人寰的恐怖事件，如文化大革命、六四大屠殺、活摘法輪功學員器官……這些全都是客觀存在的事實，即便國際社會不承認中共政權，它也依然存在，但這並不表示歐美等西方國家承認中共奪取政權時所采用的血腥暴力手段合法，更不會承認中共奪取政權後對中國人民的殘忍殺戮合法。

 

有鑒於此，對一個政權的外交承認與該政權的合法性絕對是兩回事，對政權的承認隻涉及到一個存在的事實，而一個政權合法與否的決定性因素有二，第一，是取得政權時所采用的方式或手段合法與否；第二，取得政權後把人民服務得滿意與否。即便與中共建立外交關係的國家在外交文書上白紙黑字地寫著：中華人民共和國是代表中國的唯一合法政府……這也隻是一種主觀態度，主觀態度是可以改變的，而中共暴力取得政權以及取得政權後殘害中國人民的事實，這種滔天大罪，是客觀存在的，誰也無法改變！

 

西方國家對中共政權的外交承認，說的好聽一點，是出於經濟和商貿等實際利益的考量，絕對不是對中共犯罪事實和強盜邏輯的認同。這就好比黑社會人物到合法的餐廳去吃飯，餐廳老板絕對不會因為這個客人是黑社會人物就拒絕提供服務，隻要客人用完餐照單付錢就夠了。中共跟黑社會沒有兩樣，黑社會人物與文明社會的人打交道隻需遵守文明社會的規則即可，諸如，坐車買票、吃飯付錢等等，純粹是一種互利的交易行為，但這並不表示文明社會的人認同黑社會人物的不法行為；對中共政權的外交承認，說的不好聽，就是出於無奈，因為不管西方國家承認與否，中共政權都是一個客觀的、邪惡的存在！

 

至於亞非拉等國家對中共政權的外交承認，那就是中共大撒幣的結果，跟政權合法性不沾邊。換言之，這種承認完全是中共花錢買來的。從毛澤東時代一直到習近平時代，都是如此，習撒幣的瘋狂程度甚至超過毛。亞非拉國家領導人來中國的目的就一個：要錢；中國領導人去亞非拉國家的目的也就一個：送錢。這就好比嫖客和妓女一樣，妓女從來不管嫖客是什麽人，給錢就行。嫖客花錢泄欲，中共花錢買外交承認，花錢在聯合國拉選票。因此，亞非拉國家對中共政權的外交承認在本質上與妓女和嫖客的關係無異。

 

總之，以美國為首的西方民主國家承認中共政權實質上是一種與狼共舞的行為。狼不能因此說，它與人在跳舞它就是人了。狼與人共舞，狼要走跟人一樣的舞步，而不是人走狼一樣的步伐。美國承認中共政權並把中共帶到國際舞台，是要中共遵守國際準則，而不是要國際社會遵守中共的規則。事實證明，中共從來不守規則。中共本是土匪出身，隻信奉強盜邏輯。中共認為，不管是什麽東西，隻要搶到手就可以占有，完全不管強搶本身就是犯罪行徑。中共政權與美國為首的西方國家交往的曆史就生動地體現了西方社會與狼共舞的實質，也充分地展現了中共的土匪理念和強盜邏輯。中共國加入世貿組織後，其無賴土匪本性暴露無遺：十幾年來拒不兌現其承諾，肆意破壞世貿組織規則，無所不用其極地竊取知識產權，以及咄咄咄逼人的戰狼外交……

 

第二種為中共政權合法性辯護的觀點是，中共的統治得到了廣大人民的接受和認同，民心和民意就是政權合法性的最主要來源。這其實就是在為中共的執政合法性詭辯，就更站不住腳了。若說中國人民接受和認同中共的統治，就等於說，中國人民甘願被中共殺戮、蹂躪、奴役、欺壓、愚弄，中國人都是受虐狂。試問，中國人民的骨頭就如此賤嗎？！二千二百多年來的曆代統治者固然沒有善待中國百姓，但是，還沒有一個王朝像中共政權這樣喪心病狂地虐殺中國百姓！關於中共執政的合法性，前麵已有詳細的論證，在此就不再贅述。我隻強調一個客觀的事實：中共自建政之日起，中國就隻有領袖的意誌，官員的意誌，從來不存在人民的意誌。試問，一個連言論自由都不存在的國家，怎麽會有真實的民意？中共一手握著槍，一手舉著大喇叭，百姓頭上還有幾億個攝像頭。在這種情形之下，老百姓能表達內心的真實意願嗎，能說半個不字嗎。除了言不由衷地表示接受和認同，還要違心地抬高嗓門高唱：沒有共產黨就沒有新中國。試問，這哪裏是什麽民意啊，這是赤裸裸的強奸民意！這便是中共文人所說的民心和民意的真實來源，由此可見，說中國人民接受和認同中共統治就純屬無稽之談！

 

另外，需要特別指出的是：中共自成立之日起就是一個沒有經過任何合法登記的黑社會地下組織，本身就是非法的。並且這個非法組織根本不是由中國人自己獨立創建，而是在蘇俄的主導下組織起來的，蘇俄不光為中共提供大量活動經費而且還幫中共大力培訓黨員。1931年中共在中華民國境內建立的第一個土匪政權就叫“中華蘇維埃共和國”，中共從那時就已經開始公然分裂祖國！即便後來中共用暴力顛覆合法的中華民國政府，也完全仰仗蘇俄鼎力相助。否則，中共絕對不能走到今天。曆史已經清楚地見證了中共政權是在外來勢力的大力扶持下建立起來的，也正是因為中共靠外來勢力發跡，中共搶得政權後一直到今天，對外來勢力都特別敏感，動不動就提外來勢力要如何如何。可是，它就是閉口不提自己本身就是靠外來勢力起家的，原因正是擔心國內反對力量在外來勢力的推動下，像當年自己推翻國民政府一樣推翻中共政權。現在，我們就應該明白中共為何如此緊張外來勢力！

 

綜上所述，無論從哪方麵來衡量中共政權，都找不出一絲一毫的合法性：中共是一個非法的黑社會組織，也是迄今為止世界上最大且最殘忍的恐怖組織。借外來勢力靠暴力推翻合法的中華民國政府，取得政權後又大量殘殺中國人民、壓榨中國人民、愚弄中國人民。犯下了一係列令人發指的反人類罪行，是一個徹頭徹尾的邪惡政權。哪裏有了共產黨，哪裏的人民就遭殃！有鑒於此，中國人民群起而攻之，不僅是正義的、合法的、光榮的，而且是真正的替天行道。隻有推翻中共這個人類曆史上最邪惡、最恐怖的政權，中國人民才能找回做人的起碼尊嚴，世界也消除了一個自人類文明誕生以來最大的禍害！

 

On the Legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Regime

By Chen Shuhan， September 30,2022

Communist China is the most bizarre country in the world, second to none. There is no other country in the world like Communist China declaring every year, every month, even every day that its regime is legitimate and the only one representing China! Anyone who lives in Communist China, no matter in which level of social stratum, I am afraid, such words had long made his ear callous. However, the people of the Communist country never think about it: does a country need to talk about the legitimacy of its regime all the time? Legal is legal and illegal is illegal, and the legitimacy is determined not by propaganda but by facts. If it is illegal, can it be made legal by constant propaganda? If it's legal, why advertise it for years? Where on earth do a man and woman with a marriage certificate claim to be a legal couple all day long? If a regime has to rely on years and years of propaganda to prove its legitimacy to the world, then there must be something wrong with the legitimacy of this regime: either it is illegal, or it is worried that the world will doubt its legitimacy, or it is competing with others for legitimacy! It is like a man who spends all his time telling others that his villa was bought rather than robbed or cheated and that he is the only legitimate owner of the villa. If he does not say so, outsiders will not deliberately inquire how he got his villa. If he keeps making such claims, people will inevitably suspect that either his villa comes from a wrong source, or someone else also claims to be the rightful owner of the villa!

The legitimacy issue of the Chinese Communist regime has been plaguing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since the day it was established, embarrassing it endlessly, and even to this day, the CCP cannot face up to the regime it holds. The fundamental reason is that the CCP cannot face the way it seized power: extremely bloody violence! This is why the CCP has put itself in a dilemma: If the CCP insists that it is legal to seize power by violence, then the people of following generations can take over the CCP's power by violence too; if the CCP believes that it is illegal to seize power by violence, it is tantamount to admitting that its regime is illegal, then the foundation of its rule is in danger of collapsing and the Chinese people will dismantle the CCP’s regime at any time. Knowing the pain in the heart of the CCP, it is logical to understand why the CCP has been so deliberately engaged in slavishly educating the people, shamelessly falsifying history, unscrupulously suppressing political dissidents, and maintaining stability at all costs for more than 70 years, no other purpose: the regime in its hands is illegal, and it must be preserved by all means!

Legitimacy refers to the legal properties of things, that is, the rightfulness of way or means taken in acquiring a certain thing, right, or title. The legitimacy of such a way or means is either based on natural or public justice, or law. In a logical sense, the legitimacy of a thing is tied to the way or the means, and without these two factors, legitimacy cannot be fundamentally established. For example, we can't say money is legal or illegal because money itself is indifferent to legality or illegality, it is neutral, and we can only say that the means or manner or way to obtain money is legal or not. When someone says his property is legal, the logical implication is that the means manner, or way of acquiring his property is legal. By analogy, house, rights, and title are neutral too, and when talking about their legal properties, we can only look at whether the means or way to obtain them is legal or not.  To examine the legitimacy of anything, we must first examine the cause and then check the effect, and we must never lead the effect to be the cause. Only under the premise that the cause is legitimate can the effect have legitimacy. In other words, the conclusion can only be correct if the premise is correct. What is the cause of legitimacy then? It is the two factors mentioned above: way or means, i.e., the premise; what is the effect of legitimacy? It is the result or end produced by the cause, i.e., the conclusion. This is the logical basis for determining legitimacy in this essay.

When we say that a regime is legitimate or illegitimate, the logical implication is that the means or methods of acquiring that regime are legitimate or not. How do we determine the legitimacy of a regime? Again, following the above logic, we first examine whether the cause [act, manner, means] of acquiring a regime is legitimate, and then conclude whether the regime is legitimate. Then, what is the specific cause for determining the legitimacy of a regime? It is very simple too, first, by inheritance. For example, the Republic of China inherits the territory and sovereignty left by the Qing Empire (1644-1911), as evidenced by the imperial edict of the Qing Emperor; second, by the election, or the mandate of the people, the regimes in Europe, the United States, and other developed countries have generally established this way; third, through service, that is, the government makes the people happy and satisfied, such as Singapore, the government has served the people very well, the people only accept this government. It can be seen that the legitimacy of a regime comes either from an inheritance, from an election or by serving the people to their pleasure and satisfaction. Any regime that meets one of these three conditions is legitimate; otherwise, it is illegitimate, and this is the objective criterion for measuring the legitimacy of a regime. Here I will use this criterion to judge whether the Chinese Communist regime is legitimate or not.

Is the Chinese Communist regime inherited? No, because there is no relevant succession literature to support it; was the CCP regime elected? No, because the Chinese Communist Party neither got the consent of the people before launching the civil war nor gave the people the ballot after overthrowing the legitimate Republican government through tragic war, not to mention that a general election has never existed in Communist China so far. To this day, the vast majority of Chinese people have never seen what a ballot looks like, and the very few who have seen what a ballot looks like were appointed by the CCP; has the CCP regime served the Chinese people so well and so comfortably that the people only accept the CCP? Not at all! In real life, ordinary people fear the officials like a tiger, that the people serve the officials and people are driven by the officials is the norm of life, and no people dare to ask the officials to provide service, the scene of the officials serving the people can only be seen on CCTV news, which is completely a show, you know!

Legitimacy obtained by a regime through excellent services to its people is essentially the legitimacy of governing. The Chinese Communist Party gained power by violently overthrowing the legitimate government, and such a regime is certainly illegal. However, if the CCP treated the Chinese people well after seizing power, it would have been possible to gradually cleanse the black regime. For example, officials at all levels are elected by the people rather than appointed by the Ministry of Organization; farmers are given a permanent share of land; workers can get stable employment and have unemployment insurance; intellectuals are allowed to concentrate on academics and artists can create freely; people can enjoy free medical care and pensions; people can freely criticize the government without fear of being convicted for their words; the Communist Party does not act as leader of Buddha, Christ, or Allah. ...... In short, the Communist Party has given the people what the Kuomintang had given them and offered more; what the Kuomintang had not granted them, the Communist Party has not only granted but granted them well. The standard of living of the mainland people is two or three notches higher than that of the Taiwanese, and they enjoy more human rights, freedom, and democracy than the Taiwanese, in a word, the people are served very comfortably. Then the people are so happy and satisfied that they oblige the CCP to rule them. This is what is often called the legitimacy through service, that is, the legitimacy of ruling is acquired because the service is very good and decent. To use a less appropriate analogy, some man violently takes someone else's legal wife by force, an act that is certainly illegal. However, after this man snatches someone else's wife, he treats her several times better than her previous husband, and not only is the woman satisfied materially, but she is also quite satisfied spiritually. The woman never wants to go back to her ex-husband, because her quality of life is now several notches higher compared to the previous time. In this way, the woman fully approved of the man's possession of her, and the illegal act of using violence to forcibly take another man's wife was whitewashed by the man's subsequent friendly behavior. If the Chinese Communist Party had acted in the same way as this man who forcibly took another man’s wife, then the Chinese Communist Party would have achieved the right goal out of the wrong reason, but the fact proves the opposite is true!

How did the Chinese Communist Party treat the Chinese people after taking power in the mainland by violence? For more than 70 years, the Chinese people have never been served by the CCP. In the eyes of the CCP, the Chinese people are nothing but lambs to be slaughtered. The Chinese Communist Party has never stopped oppressing and enslaving the Chinese people cruelly, and it has killed them more brutally than any foreign invaders. According to a conservative estimate, during the 70-odd years of peacetime, the Chinese Communist Party has killed as many as 80 million people, not including the 40 million people who starved to death during the Great Famine!  The last century saw the Chinese people lose a total of about 20 million lives in the 14-year War of Resistance against Japanese aggression, and during the peaceful years under the rule of the CCP, the number of people killed by the CCP was more than six times that of Japan invading army. I wonder, is there any regime in human history that treats its own people like this? Never before! Even in the previous two centuries, the Western powers were at war with China, such as the Opium Wars against Britain and France, the Sino-French War, and the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the total number of Chinese dead in these wars is almost negligible compared to the total number of Chinese people killed by the CCP.

Historical facts show that since the CCP established its regime in 1949, China has never again been invaded by foreign powers, and Chinese people have never again been brutalized and enslaved by foreign invaders. However, the CCP has killed and ravaged the Chinese people a thousand times more than the foreign invaders had ever done, and the Chinese people under the rule of the CCP are a thousand times more miserable than when the Western powers colonized China. In short, the CCP has killed, ravaged, and destroyed the Chinese people with such ruthlessness, cruelty, magnitude, and depth of harm that no Western power or foreign invader could ever imagine. If foreign invaders are described as wolves, the CCP is a devil that is a thousand times more vicious than wolves. If the devil in power is legal, the Chinese people would rather have the wolves in power than the CCP, in front of two evils, choose the lesser!

How can a regime that never treats its people as human beings talk about the legitimacy of its rule? The truth is: that under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese people do not even have the most basic human rights, i.e., no freedom of thought, no freedom of speech, and no freedom of belief. In other words, in Communist China, there are only human beings in the biological sense, but not in the political sense. The CCP regime is so evil that no room is left for the legitimacy of its governance!

The legitimacy of a regime involves two main aspects, namely, the legitimacy of the means to obtain a regime and the legitimacy of governing. It is legitimate to get a regime by two means: first, by inheritance, and second, by election, or the mandate of the people. The legitimacy of governing can only be achieved through service, i.e., serving the people to their satisfaction and delight. The above facts are enough to prove that the CCP has neither the legitimacy of the way to get a regime nor the legitimacy of governing. If the Chinese Communist regime is considered legitimate, then there is no justice under the sky: since even violent robbery is legal, and mass murder of people is also legal, and so on, bank robbery is legal, murder is legal, rape is legal, arson is legal ...... all violent crimes in the world are legal, isn't this just plain bandit logic?

Now, it is easy to understand why the CCP has to preach the legitimacy of its regime to the world every day because the very thing the CCP regime lacks is legitimacy! The most absurd thing is that in the face of hard facts, some mainland imperial writers and a bunch of fools still insist on arguing for the CCP. Below I will list two of the most typical arguments for the CCP regime, pointing out their absurdity and thus further proving that the CCP regime is totally illegitimate!

Here comes the first view. They say that the Chinese Communist regime is recognized by more than a hundred sovereign countries in the international community, which is a good indication that the Chinese Communist regime is legitimate. Otherwise, how could the international community recognize an illegitimate regime?! This is typical rhetoric of the CCP's imperial literati, which sounds justified; only, unfortunately, they lack common sense in logic and made a big joke indeed! Legitimacy and recognition are two completely different things: recognition targets a fact of existence, and it would be absurd to judge whatever is legitimate as long as it is a fact of existence. You see, the triad is a fact of existence, so is the triad legitimate? It is a fact that terrorist organizations exist, and is that terrorist organization legitimate? Also, there exist robberies, murder, drug trafficking, rape, and other criminal activities in society, are they all legal? This is too ridiculous! 

The international community's diplomatic recognition of the Chinese Communist regime is only a subjective attitude, which does not change the objective fact that the Chinese Communist Party obtained the regime with bloody violence and that it brutally killed and ravaged the Chinese people after gaining power. In other words, there is no causal relationship between the subjective attitude and the objective reality of the illegal regime, i.e., the subjective recognition is directed at an existing fact, and the legal nature of that fact is not determined by the subjective attitude. That is to say, for any cultural relic, we must recognize it as a cultural relic, regardless of whether the relic was obtained through a legitimate auction or from a tomb raider. Although we recognize a cultural relic as an objective existence, there is no causal relationship between the origin of a cultural relic and our recognition of it, i.e., we cannot say that a cultural relic in the hands of a tomb raider is not a cultural relic and that only a cultural relic obtained from an auction house is a cultural relic. By the same token, when we see a villa, we have to recognize it as a villa, and there is no causal relationship between our recognition and the way the person living in the villa acquired it; we cannot say that only a villa legally purchased is a villa and a villa obtained through robbery and deception is not a villa. The international community recognizes the CCP regime for the same reason, i.e., the international community recognizes the regime in the hands of the CCP as a regime because it is a fact of existence. However, how the CCP acquired power, i.e., bloody violence, has no causal relationship to the international community's recognition of the CCP regime. More than seventy years ago, Manchukuo, established in northeastern China by the Japanese invaders, had also been recognized diplomatically by several countries, the former Soviet Union recognized it, and later Stalin terminated recognizing it. This February Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied two regions of eastern Ukraine, still Putin declared these two regions as "independent states", does this mean that the regimes in these two regions of eastern Ukraine are legitimate? Now it is well known that the legitimacy of a regime determined by diplomatic recognition is not reliable. Diplomatic recognition is in itself a subjective attitude, and a subjective attitude cannot determine an objective fact, furthermore, a subjective attitude can be changed at any time. Before 1971, the Western countries, led by the United States, did not recognize the Chinese Communist regime, i.e., the so-called People's Republic of China, but later, the United States changed its attitude and recognized the Chinese Communist regime, and the recognition of the CCP regime by the United Nation comes the same way as the international community does. This once again shows that there is no causal relationship between diplomatic recognition and the legitimacy of a regime.

In layman’s terms, the legal owner of a large villa has been violently evicted by bandits and his villa has been occupied by the bandits, who now become the new owner. The neighbors of the villa are aware of this illegal act of the bandits, but they have to admit that the bandits are the new owners of the villa, i.e., they acknowledge the bandits' physical possession of the villa. But this does not mean that the neighbors acknowledge the bandits' means of acquiring the villa is legal. However, to judge the legitimacy of a regime, first of all, is to see if the means of acquiring the regime are legitimate or not! Because the bandits used violence to forcibly occupy the villa, the possession of the villa by the bandits was, therefore, an illegal act. It is just like a guy breaking into the home of a legal couple, forcing the husband to leave the home by gun, and then taking over the wife. Even if the thug becomes the woman's "new husband," the marriage is illegal; No matter how many times this thug claims that the woman is his legal wife, it does not change the fact that this thug has taken over the wife of another man by force! No matter how many times the Chinese Communist Party claims that it is the only legitimate regime representing China, it does not change the objective fact that the Chinese Communist Party has used bloody methods to seize the legitimate regime Republic of China. Therefore, no matter how many countries recognize such a regime, it cannot change the illegality of this regime, because the objective fact of the CCP's violent seizure of power cannot be changed by such a subjective attitude as diplomatic recognition!

Speaking of diplomatic recognition, it is also easy to think of certain social situations where law-abiding people can also shake hands and talk with triad figures. That's just out of social courtesy, acknowledging the fact that triad figures are a presence, but it doesn't mean they approve of their illegal behavior. Similarly, the recognition of the Chinese Communist regime by the United States, Europe, and other Western countries is directed at an existential fact, i.e., the recognition that the Chinese Communist regime is one of the largest triad organizations and one of the most heartless terrorist organizations in the world, because Mao Zedong was originally a bandit leader who took over the mountains and that Mao's army was also composed mainly of hooligans, scoundrels, lazybones, and the bad and evil guys in society. In the present era, the Chinese Communist Party (the CCP) is ruling the country with the concept of a triad society, and officials at all levels are ganging up to form various interest groups for personal gain, while ordinary people are suffering from bullying of these interest groups, which is worse than living in a triad society. After all, triad members are still worried about arrests by police, while the CCP has no scruples about doing evil; the CCP has used its huge state violence machine to create a series of horrific and horrible events, such as the Cultural Revolution, the June Fourth Massacre 1989, and the live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners...... These are all objective facts, and even if the international community does not recognize the CCP regime, it still exists. But this does not mean that Western countries such as Europe and the United States recognize the legitimacy of the bloody and violent methods used by the CCP to seize power, let alone the legitimacy of the brutal killings of the Chinese people after the CCP seized power.

Because of this, diplomatic recognition of a regime and the legitimacy of that regime are absolutely two different things. The recognition of a regime involves only a fact of existence, and there are two decisive factors in the legitimacy of a regime: first, the legitimacy of the means or methods used to gain power; second, the satisfaction of serving the people after gaining power. Even if those countries that have established diplomatic relations with the CCP regime put in black and white on their diplomatic documents that the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing China ...... this is only a subjective attitude, and subjective attitudes can be changed, while the fact that the CCP violently gained power and brutalized the Chinese people after gaining power, such a heinous crime, objectively exists, no one can change!

The diplomatic recognition of the Chinese Communist regime by Western countries is, to put it nicely, based on practical interests such as economic and commercial considerations, and definitely, it is not recognition of the criminal facts and robber baron logic of the Chinese Communist Party. This is like a triad member attending a legitimate restaurant; the restaurant owner will never refuse to serve the customer just because the customer is a triad member, as long as the customer pays for his meal. There is no difference between the Chinese Communist Party and the triads. The triads only need to abide by the rules of civilized society in their dealings with people in civilized society, such as buying a ticket on a public bus, paying for a meal, etc., which is purely a mutually beneficial transaction, but this does not mean that people in civilized society approve of the triads' illegal behavior. Diplomatic recognition of the Chinese Communist regime is, to put it badly, out of desperation, because whether the West recognizes it or not, the Chinese Communist regime is an objective, evil existence!

As for the diplomatic recognition of the CCP regime by countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, it is the result of the CCP's big money spreading and has nothing to do with the legitimacy of the regime. In other words, such recognition is entirely bought out by the CCP at its expense. This has been the case from Mao's time until Xi Jinping's time, and Xi's madness in money-spreading even exceeds Mao's. Leaders of Asian, African, and Latin American countries come to China for one purpose: to ask for money; Chinese leaders go to Asian, African, and Latin American countries for one purpose: to send money. This is like a prostitute and her patron, the prostitute never cares who her patron is, as long as her patron pays. The patron of a prostitute pays to satisfy his sexual desire, and the CCP pays to get diplomatic recognition and votes in the United Nations. Therefore, the diplomatic recognition of the CCP regime by Asian, African, and Latin American countries is essentially a dirty deal, just like the deal between a prostitute and her patron.

In short, the recognition of the Chinese Communist regime by the Western democracies led by the United States is essentially an act of dancing with the wolf. The wolf cannot therefore say that it is dancing with man, it is a man. When a wolf dances with a man, the wolf has to walk the same dance steps as a man, not a man walking the same steps as a wolf. The United States recognized the Chinese Communist regime and brought the CCP to the international stage because it wanted the CCP to abide by international norms, not because it wanted the international community to abide by the CCP's rules. It has been proven that the CCP never abides by the rules. The CCP was originally born as a bandit and believed only in bandit logic. The CCP believes that no matter what it is, as long as it is grabbed by the CCP the CCP can possess it, even though robbery itself is a criminal act. The history of the Chinese Communist regime's dealings with the United States-led Western countries vividly reflects the essence of Western society's dance with wolves, which fully demonstrates the CCP's bandit philosophy and bandit logic. After the Chinese Communist country joined the WTO, its rogue bandit nature was exposed: refusing to honor its commitments for more than a decade, willfully breaking WTO rules, stealing intellectual property rights by all means, and carrying out aggressive warrior-wolf diplomacy......

The second argument to defend the legitimacy of the CCP regime is that the CCP's rule has been accepted and approved by the majority of the Chinese people and that popularity and public opinion are the most important sources of the regime's legitimacy. This is actually a sophistry to justify the legitimacy of the CCP's rule, which is even more untenable. To say that the Chinese people accept and agree with the CCP's rule is tantamount to saying that the Chinese people are willing to be killed, ravaged, enslaved, oppressed, and fooled by the CCP and that the Chinese people are all masochists. Please ask anyone in China: are the bones of the Chinese people so cheap?!  Successive rulers over the past 2,200 years have certainly not treated the Chinese people well, but no dynasty has ever been as heartlessly sadistic as the CCP regime! The legitimacy of the CCP's rule has already been stated in detail, so I will not repeat it here. I will only emphasize one objective fact: since the day the CCP was founded, the CCP state has only had the will of the leaders, the will of the officials, and never the will of the people. Just imagine it, how can there be true public opinion in a country where even freedom of speech does not exist? The CCP holds a gun in one hand, a loudspeaker in the other, and hundreds of millions of cameras above the people's heads. Under such circumstances, can the people express their true will and say no? In addition to accepting and agreeing with the CCP, they have to raise their voices against their will and sing: Without the CCP, there would be no new China. This is not public opinion at all; it is naked rape of public opinion! This is the real source of the people's will and public opinion, as the CCP's writers put it, so it is nonsense to say that the Chinese people accept and agree with the CCP's rule!

In addition, it should be especially noted that the CCP has been an underground triad organization without any legal registration since the day it was founded, and is itself illegal. The most ironic thing is that this illegal organization was not created by the Chinese themselves but was organized under the auspices of the Soviet Union, and it was a puppet of the Soviet Union from the very beginning of the CCP. In 1931, the first bandit regime established by the CCP in the Republic of China was called the "Chinese Soviet Republic", and the CCP had already started to openly split the motherland since then! Even when the CCP violently overthrew the legitimate government of the Republic of China, it did so with the help of the Soviet Union. It was not the CCP's ability to seize power but the Soviet Union's ability to do so. Without the Soviet Union, the CCP would never have made it this far. History has clearly witnessed that the Chinese Communist regime was established with the strong support of foreign forces, and it is precisely because the CCP made its fortune with the help of foreign forces that it has been particularly sensitive to foreign forces since it seized power until today, and it has always mentioned how foreign forces should behave to do harm to China. However, it just doesn't mention that it started with the aid of foreign forces, just because it fears that domestic opposing forces, driven by foreign forces, will overthrow the Communist regime as they did when they overthrew the National Government (the Republic of China). Now, we should understand why the CCP is so nervous about foreign forces!

To sum up, no matter how the Chinese Communist regime is judged, there is not a shred of legitimacy to be found: the CCP is an illegal triad organization and by far the largest and most brutal terrorist organization in the world. After gaining power through the violent overthrow of the legitimate government of the Republic of China with the help of foreign forces, it brutally murdered, oppressed, and fooled the Chinese people. It committed a series of heinous crimes against humanity, and it was an utterly evil regime. Wherever there is a Communist Party, the people suffer badly! Given this, it is not only just, legal, and honorable for the Chinese people to rise up against the Communist Party, but also a true act of justice for God. Only by overthrowing the CCP, the most evil and horrible regime in human history, can the Chinese people regain their minimum dignity as human beings, and the world hereby can eliminate one of the biggest scourges since the birth of human civilization!
