China Support Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The China Support Network (CSN) is a U.S.-based organization promoting democracy for mainland China.
From the organization's description:
- "Begun as the American response group in 1989, CSN represents Americans who are "on the side" of the students in Tiananmen Square — standing for democratic reform, human rights, and freedom in China.
- "The organizaton has worked directly with Chinese student leaders who escaped China and continues to have a working relationship with leading Chinese dissidents."
The China Support Network was founded by John Patrick Kusumi, who currently serves as its director emeritus. The current president of CSN is D. J. McGuire. The organization opposes China's current government, the Communist Party of China, and refers to its position as "hardline anti-communist."
The China Support Network works closely with the Chinese democracy movement, and with the outlawed group Falun Gong and its organisations, to support the campaign to resign from the Communist Party of China.
The China Support Network has described China under communist rule as "a dysfunctional country" and the the Communist Party of China as "the world's most murderous system", "even leaving Hitler behind" [1] and has made its viewers aware of reports that the Chinese government supports terrorist organisations, including al-Qaeda. [2] [3]
CSN recently criticized the plan of Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church to remove its embassy from Taiwan in an effort to improve ties with the government of the People's Republic of China and its Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. [4]
