NO. 5
CHINESE YOUNG ECONOMIST SOCIETY (CYES)
(USA)
(received November 24, 1989)
1. Introduction to CYES
2. Proposal For "China Economic Review", by D. Bruce Sun
3. Publications by CYES
1. Introduction to CYES
Chinese Young Economist Society (CYES) is the largest and independent
association of Chinese students and scholars of Economics, Business or other
disciplines in the United States. Most of them either are completing or have
completed Ph.D. degrees. The goals of CYES are to advance and disseminate
economics and management sciences in China, and to promote the reforms in
the Mainland China.
CYES was established in 1985 in New York City and incorporated as a non-
profit organization in New Jersey. Its current membership is 350. It has
sponsored a number of symposia at Harvard University, University of
Michigan, etc., including the one held at University of California-Berkeley,
where CYES initiated the dialogue between the economists from both sides of
the Taiwan Strait. CYES also sponsors a few publications: from the
Newsletter, Forum of Chinese Young Economists to China Economic Review in
both English and Chinese editions. These publications are devoted to
establishing an open forum for scholars and practitioners on issues related
to the reforms in China.
CYES activities are financed by the membership due and non-political
donations. CYES has received grants from The Ford Foundation, National
Academy of Sciences of USA, Fund for Reform and Opening in China of New
York, Foundation of Chinese Culture of United Daily News in Taiwan, Ford
Motor Co. Fund, University of Michigan, etc. As a non-profit organization,
CYES is in need of funds to further expanding its endeavour of pro-democracy
and pro-reform. The efforts it has made are proved significant,
constructive, and fruitful.
Chinese students or scholars of economics, business and population in the
United States are eligible to be CYES members. Others who show interest in
CYES could acquire the membership by writing to the President of CYES: Prof.
D. bruce Sun, South Stevens Hall, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469,
U.S.A.
The CYES members elect the Board of Directors and the President. The
officers serve a one-year term and are responsible for the general
management of the Society. The CYES Advisory Board consists of well-known
economists, including K.Arrow, G.Chow, D.Perkins, W.Rostow, H. Simon,
S.C.Tsiang, and T.S.Yu.
2. Proposal For "China Economic Review"
by D.Bruce Sun, July 1989
The drastic change in China, particularly the massacre in Beijing, has
shattered the environment of China's reforms of ten years. It has at the
same time smashed the dream that an open society can grow from the grasp of
a closed communist party. It marks a turning point to both contemporary
China and the Chinese Young Economist Society(CYES).
CYES is the largest independent association of Chinese students and scholars
of economics, business, law, and other disciplines. Since 1985 when it was
founded, CYES has made all efforts to promote the reforms in China and
academic exchanges with world. It has sponsored numerous conferences and
symposia, published a number of publications, enhanced communication among
intellectuals of the mainland, America, and Taiwan, and helped carry out the
economic reform in China. While we lament of the current chaos in China, we
do not have slightest regret at what we have done in support of the reforms
in Mainland China. Contrarily, we will struggle for democracy and social
justice as well.
CYES has decided to continue its quarterly journal"China Economic Review"
which is being published in the Mainland China. We must keep this voice to
spread truth and knowledge of economics and humanities, and to promote
reforms from within in any feasible way.
We have confirmed the policy for publishing "China Economic Review". It
should directly address to the crisis China is now facing; they should be
workable to CYES members; and they should be applicable to the real
situations of China in 3-5 years.

No. 9
A Report of Voice of June Fourth Radio Station
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO. 9
A Report of Voice of June Fourth Radio Station
1. A brief introduction to the broadcast project
Voice of June Fourth is a radio project run by a group of Chinese
students and scholars in the United States. It is affiliated to
the Independent Alliance of Chinese Students in the USA. The
Committee of Broadcast under the Alliance is the supporting force
to Voice of June Fourth headquartered in Chicago.
Starting from September 30th, Voice of June Fourth (VJF) has
started its broadcast to Mainland China. For three days during
the period of the National Day of PRC, VJF broadcasted seven
hours a day from 5 pm. to 0 am through 27 different frequencies
ranging from medium to short wave. Several world most powerful
broadcast towers located in the neighboring countries of China
helped VJF rebroadcast its programs. We have received telephone
calls from Beijing and Nanjing telling us that they clearly
received the shows of VJF.
At present, VJF produces a half hour show everyday, six days a
week. The time of its broadcast to China is from 9 to 10 pm.
Beijing time seven days a week. In the United States, VJF broad-
casts in Boston. The time is 1 to 3 pm. every sunday at fm 100.
The purpose to broadcast in the United States is to let those who
are interested in the broadcast project know the content that
reach Mainland China. Therefore they can raise suggestions and
support.
2. The work in the headquarter
The headquarter is located in Chicago consisting of a studio and
an office. The routine includes: 1. To correspond with reporters
and article contributors nation wide to collect articles and
information. 2. To edit programs. 3. To produce and transmit
radio programs. 4. To keep in touch with different pro-democracy
organizations. 5. To raise fund for the VJF. 6. To manage the
headquarter including labor decision and coordination. 7. To
maintain the facilities in the studio.
3. A brief introduction to the programs
The programs fall into two categories namely news reporting and
commenting and special programs. (1) Current news: News about
events happened in China and the world that the Beijing Govern-
ment tries to block off. Generally anything about the people's
desire for freedom and democracy is annoying to the Beijing
rulers and therefore they are not reported by the mass media con-
trolled by the Beijing Government. Deng Xiaoping addresses these
news as the "big environment of the world and the small environ-
ment of China". We believe that Chinese people have special
interests in these news and VJF is dedicated to the reporting of
them.
(2) News commentary: We use commentaries of the Chinese students
and scholars in the United States in our programs. These people
are out from China only for at most a few years. Their commen-
taries on the latest events in the development of democracy in
China and the world are relevant and convincing to the Chinese
people. The voice from their own relatives about the latest
development of democracy in the world makes sense to the Chinese
people about the events in other countries that they are not very
familiar with.
(3) Special programs: We have a series of special programs
about cultural and educational issues. They are a cross country
comparison and discussion of different cultures and educational
systems. The following is a brief description of the features of
our special programs.
a. Tribune for reform discussion This session is dedicated to
the reforms in socialist countries. One of the issues it is
going to address is how Deng Xiaoping started his reform and why
the reform in China ends up with a major crack down by the Beij-
ing Government. All the exciting events in Eastern European
countries are discussed in this session.
b. The wounds in history This session is about the efforts to
and sacrifices for the pro- democracy movements in the history of
China and the world. Many of the tries of the peoples failed
under the suppression of the brutal rulers. What conditions the
movements faced and how the peoples struggled under these condi-
tions in their pursuit for freedom and democracy are discussed.
Efforts are exerted to study the lessons from the historical
events so that in the movements for democracy to come, the oppo-
sition should be able to do better.
c. Life of the overseas Chinese students After living in China
under the rule of the CCP, the Chinese students find many things
in the Western world different and amazing. Some of their
experiences in the Western world are pleasant others are not.
And their views of the world change with time. What are the con-
flicts of different values of different systems? How these con-
flicts affect the life of the Chinese students? What are the
good things and bad things about the Western world and about
China when looked from outside?
d. American society Entertaining as well as educational, this
program tries to reveal different facets of the American society
by introducing various characters and historical events to
Chinese people. America is both the heaven and hell. But its
major difference to a closed society is that in the United
States, powers are checked and balanced. Under the rule of law,
the judicial and media systems are functioning independently.
There is no trouble free society in the world, but through com-
parison, people should be able to tell which system is better,
the democratic one or the autocratic one.
e. Literature and arts We use short pieces of literature that
are relevant to the people's pursuit for democracy and freedom or
reflecting the different characteristics of Chinese and Western
societies.
f. Letters from home This session aims at the promotion of com-
munication and emotional relations between Chinese people in and
out side of China. Because of the close relationships between
the Chinese students and their kin in China, we should be able to
accurately capture the changes in the environment in China and
the feelings of the Chinese people. We also encourage feed backs
on our program from China so that we can improve the quality of
our broadcast to Chinese people.
What We Need to Do the Next
At present, we have six people working full time in the
headquarter of Voice of June Fourth Radio Station. Everyone is
overloaded with their work. In this case, how to work more
effectively and reach higher quality is the consideration of the
staff everyday. We need to further systemize and streamline our
production of radio shows. Everyone should be better trained in
his or her specialty and yet be more versatile to fill up the
gaps caused by lack of hands in our organization.
We need to enhance our work on public relation. More people
should know our program so as to support us with their contribu-
tions in money, articles, and advice. The general American pub-
lic hardly knows anything about our radio project yet and the
same with the public in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We should publish
more stories about our project and reach out to contact more peo-
ple in our seek of support and participation.

Association of Human Right in China
by PC CHIEH <chieh@watdcs.UWaterloo.ca>
Thu, 30 Nov 1989
The Association for Human Rights in China consists of students and scholars
from Peoples Republic of China, as well as professionals who are well
established in this area. I would like to welcome members from all over the
world, but organizing an association like that will take a lot of time and
effort. In any case, you will be able to get some ideas as to what type of
organization we are from our activities in the past.
Currently, I am witting letters on behalf of some arrested people
in China. In my view, and the view of the Association, we need to talk
to all Communist Party members in China to make them aware of world trend.
Reform from within that party will lead to faster, and peaceful progress
of the Chinese Society. Members of this organization has no interest in
political power in China. We only want to reduce the suffering of those
suppressed.

-
Association for Human Rights in China
-
The Association for Human Rights in China is a non-profit and non-political
organization with a sole purpose of promoting the welfare of humanity.
Our objectives are in line with those of the Amnesty International,
but the unique and serious Chinese situation due to its special language
and cultural background calls for the formation of this special Association.
The Founding General Meeting was called at 7:00 pm on July 9th, 1989 in
Davis Center Room 1351. With 147 participants, the meeting was well
received. Special events included eyewitness account of the June 4
Beijing Massacre by Mr. S. Yam, a student from Hong Kong and a video
clip showing Mr. Wu'er Kaixi talking to Mr. Li Peng, and an interview
of Wu'er Kaixi.
Some of the works the Association did:
-
July 12, 1989 - C. Chieh received a letter from the Department of External
Affairs to a letter he had written as an individual on June 7, asking
Mr. Clark to use diplomacy to elevate the serious Beijing situation.
-
August 16, 1989 - A letter was written to the Honorable Mr. Joe Clark
in protest of the $100,000,000 loan to China by the Canadian Government.
We received a letter of response dated October 24, 1989, and sent another
letter to Director Dwayne Wright of East Asia Trade Division in the
Department of External Affairs to thank him for the letter and to
express appreciation for his continuing effort in elevating the
seriousness of Human Rights violation in China. We enclosed copies
of the messages to Chinese authorities for him to be used when he
would be dealing with Chinese officers.
-
August 23, 1989 - The Association participated a Black Ribbon Day parade
from Victoria Part to the Speakers Cornor in Kitchener. We made a speech
voicing support for human rights in China.
-
September 12, 1989 - Organized a rally to commemorate the 100th day of
the Beijing Massacre. The Association wrote a message to Chinese
authorities to request all levels of its government to cherish human
rights, to acknowledge their wrong doing in the massacre, to release
all arrested peaceful demonstrators, and to recognize the student's
demonstration as a peaceful movement for freedom and democracy.
This message was translated into Chinese, and many copies were sent
to Mr. Deng Xiaoping, Mr. Li Peng, the Police Station, Peoples Court,
Security Department, in addition to copies to the embassy in Ottawa
and consulate general in Toronto.
-
September 20, 1989 - Letters were sent to Mr. David Peterson, Mayor
Eggleton and other dignitaries who had received invitations to attend
the October 1 party given by the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto.
-
October 1, 1989 - Another open letter declaring that "all Chinese are
born free and equal" to Chinese Authorities was distributed in a rally
in front of the Chinese Consulate in Toronto. The Association organized
and participated part of the rally, and Waterloo had the most number of
participants at that time (2-4 pm). The Vice President of the Association
was shown holding a sign in City TV, and the logo of the Association
was visible. We asked people to send the English and Chinese message
to Chinese authorities. The Association also sent copies of the letter
to Chinese authorities.
-
October 1, 1989 - A director and an executive went to Washington to
join a rally in front of the Chinese embassy. They went on their own
expenses, and they distributed the message mentioned above.
-
October 10, 1989 - Chieh and Wang met with others to form a Local Action
Committee to discuss possible assistance to Chinese students who might be
in difficulty due to recent turmoil. Two cases came to the attention of
Wang and Chieh.
-
October 10, 1989 - A letter was sent to the Democratic China Front for
future exchange of news to seek ways of stopping human rights violations
in China.
-
October 28, 1989 - Amnesty Member Bev Nuttall and Chieh presented a review
of Beijing Movement to an Amnesty International Regional Meeting in Conrad
Grebel College. This was a weekend-long conference with participants
from all regions in Ontario.
-
November 7-9, 1989 - The Association will organize a photo exhibition -
"70 years of Student's Movements" to introduce the recent history of China.
Watch for posters announcing this exhibit.
-
Due to fund shortage, we are unable to produce detailed newsletters
for public distribution. A more detailed newsletter is under preparation

No. 14
An Introduction to << The Outcry>> (Na Han)
From: <COSMOS@PURCCVM>
"The Outcry" (Na Han) was founded on June 3rd,1989 as the official
publication of the then formed American Chinese Students and Scholars
Solidarity Union (Midwest) Inc., ACSU as abbreviation. Delegates from about
20 universities gathered at Purdue University in Indiana to discuss about
continuing the pro-democratic movement initiated in Beijing's Tiananmen
square and unification was achieved for the first time among 8,000 Chinese
students and scholars from 11 states in midwest area. Purdue was elected
the first chair of the Board of Executive Members, and according to the
Constitution of ACSU, took charge of editing the Bulletin of the Union.
First issue of The Outcry was published on June 4th,1989, a single page
flier in white and colored sheets. 4,000 copies distributed during the
first rally organized by ACSU in Chicago condemning the brutality of Beijing
regime.
Second issue set up the current format of The Outcry : 8 pages, six of
them Chinese and last two pages English , with circulation 8,000. The third
issue utilized bulk rate U.S. postal service to deliver the paper throughout
midwest area as well as other institutions in the U.S.A. and Canada. The
forth issue, circulation 9,000, was distributed further to European
countries like West Germany, Sweden, U.K., France, Holland, Austria and Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Macaw Japan and Australia. The fifth issue reached a
circulation of 10,000 with half of them to be mailed to individual readers
directly. The first five issues were edited by the editorial crew in Purdue.
>From the sixth issue on , The Outcry will be edited by the third chair of
ACSU, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and University of Wiscosin jointly,
according to the resolution on the third plenum of the Executive Board this
November.
Though as a publication of ACSU (midwest), The Outcry has working
relationships with the IFCSS, the "June 4th Radio Station", the Rhine
Tongxun (in West Germany), and other Chinese student groups in the States.
Many libraries ,including Harvard-Yenching Library in Boston, Hoover
Institute in Stanford, Asian library of Univ. of Chicago, have had all the
past issues of The Outcry in storage.
The following students have been served as editor-in-chief of The
Outcry: Ding Zijiang, Wang Changcheng, Jiang Yang and Xie Tian, and many
thanks go to a dozen of other students in Purdue University for their
devoted works which make The Outcry a non-professional , the largest
student run newspaper in North America a success.

NO. 15 Introduction to China-Net
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Guan, Weihe (INR@UGA)
China-Net Introduction
======================
China-Net is an electronic-mailing communication network. It
was established in May 1989, to serve the long-term pro-democracy
activities for China. Presently, China-Net has 244 coordinators
representing 171 schools and organizations in 14 countries and
regions.
The function of China-Net is to coordinate the united actions
among all overseas Chinese in universities and other organizations
worldwide.
Members of China-Net are coordinators representing their
schools or organizations. The recommended number of coordinators
for each school is two, and the maximum acceptable is three, due
to technical limitations of the net.
Each coordinator is committed to the responsibilities of:
a. exchanging reliable information related to pro-democracy
movement in China;
b. broadcasting the network message to his/her local
organization;
c. posting announcements, suggestions, calls or proposals
initialized by the organization which s/he represents;
d. reporting relevant activities in his/her school or
location;
e. informing relevant future events;
f. others, if applicable.
Applicants must fill out the Info-Form and provide required
contact information to become a registered China-Net coordinator.
Messages to be posted on China-Net shall be signed, by the
registered coordinator and/or the organization being represented,
and sent to one of the following two addresses (NOT BOTH OF THEM):
china-net@gauss.stanford.edu
or china-net@lab.ultra.nyu.edu
Personal questions, comments, or discussions are NOT acceptable to
China-Net.
China-Net is managed by a five-member coordination committee.
They monitor the net on day-to-day bases, handle distribution bugs,
accept membership applications, update coordinators directory, and
respond to questions and comments about China-Net. Their working
e-mail address is "net-cord@lab.ultra.nyu.edu". Should there be
any questions and comments, applications, notice of change in
coordinator's contact information, or resignation of China-Net
membership, please do not send them to the posting address of
China-Net, instead, direct them to the China-Net Coordination
Committee at:
net-cord@lab.ultra.nyu.edu
Coordinators of China-Net are encouraged to set up local e-
mail nets to rebroadcast message from China-Net to their local
people; however, receivers on local nets are not encouraged to post
any message directly on China-Net. They shall send mails to their
representative coordinators, and let the coordinator to decide if
the mail shall be posted.
Coordinators who fail to carry out their duty, or violate the
China-Net regulations, may be removed from the net, temporally or
permanently, under requests of over 10 coordinators.
China-Net also accept Non-Chinese members, as coordinators of
China-related organizations, or as individuals who are willing to
help in coordinating pro-democracy activities for China.
China-Net Coordination Committee welcomes all coordinators of
China-Net, and other friends, to contribute, in various means, on
the construction and maintenance of this e-mail coordination
system. Hope China-Net may serve you better in the future.

Brief Introduction of the Author(s):
China-Net Coordination Committee was formed in early May of 1989.
The five members are all Chinese graduate students in different
universities of the United States. Some of them have never met
the others. It is the shared willingness of working for a better
China that brought them together in the e-mail communication
system. They share the China-Net maintenance work, and help one
another to carry the load of their own study/research duties, and
those of the China-Net at the same time.
