CIG's Letter to Eutelsat Concerning Resumption of NTDTV Broadcast to East Asia

Dear ladies and gentlemen of Eutelsat:

We are the China Interim Government. In recent weeks, your company interrupts the service to your client NTDTV for the reason of 'technical failure'. Let's exchange opinions with regard to this matter.

According to sources, the better reason for your suspending the service is some seemingly lucrative deals between your company and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime rather than any technical failure. Nonetheless, we would rather consider that your company has less understanding of China issue and made such a far-from-good decision. In fact, under the rule of the CCP dictatorship there is none of independent media in mainland China. In spite of the current information age you all enjoy, most Chinese citizens are still shut in the 'Great Firewall' built by the CCP. US-based NTDTV is an independent broadcaster so competent in freely, justly airing genuine situations about China as the only window for Chinese masses to know a true China and a true world. Because the CCP has committed monstrous crimes to Chinese people since its introduction into the ancient land from the west, it is unforgivable and must be disintegrated. NTDTV energetically reports a true China and have the courage to disclose how sinful the CCP is, so it is popular in mainland China, playing a pivotal role in the course of disintegrating the evil party.

We bolster the righteous, brave NTDTV by appealing to all circles to donate with a hope of helping her resume broadcasting programs. In the meantime, we endorse the 'Freedom Satellite for China Project' and free communication of all sorts of information. Freedom of information magnificently symbolizes democracy and human rights, together acting as the foundation of the society of freedom and democracy. Freedom of information is unsubstitutable in safeguarding the fulfillment of the above-said goals. As we are dedicated to realization of freedom, democracy, human rights and constitutional politics in China, our interim government certainly, unwaveringly stands with NTDTV and backs freedom of information and the 'Freedom Satellite for China Project'.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have no right to interfere with the business operation of your company, though, as a profound knower of China's politics situation, our interim government feels necessary to remind your management and staff of something about the CCP. For over half a century, the specter has perpetrated countless misdeeds to Chinese people and now come to the night before its last collapse. It bribes Eutelsat and other similar major IT service providers into blocking out information from Chinese citizens, leaving them unable to understand its evil nature and oppose its reign, thus postponing its total collapse even for one more day. However, democracy and human rights will overcome autocracy, and the evil CCP is doomed to be abruptly terminated whatever happens. In face of such situation, which side do you stand on? Can your company be believed to make a wise choice?

Meanwhile, we have to point it out, Eutelsat is infringing on Chinese citizens' right of access to information for benefits today. Once the CCP crumples, followed by the establishment of China's democratic government, how will your company face to the Chinese people and the new democratic regime of China till then?

Ladies and gentlemen, the China Interim Government is committed to building a new China of freedom and democracy, and willing to work with Eutelsat and all righteous powers in accomplishing a world more just, peace and joy.

Wishing you all a good health and your company more successes!

The China Interim Government
