人權教育是抵抗中共的最佳利器――破解暴力的極權政府

Human Rights Education is the Most Powerful Weapon Against the Chinese Communist Party: Deciphering an Authoritarian Government’s Violence

過去威權統治給了我們一個錯誤的價值觀，讓我們服從權威。台灣雖然民主化了，但權威統治加諸在我們身上錯誤的思維模式卻沒有改變，所以李明哲被中國抓捕時，很多台灣人不斷要求李明哲的妻子和中國妥協。正如現在台灣面對中國侵略，一樣有很多人認為台灣在挑釁。如果這些錯誤的思維模式沒有改變，我們永遠無法真正走出威權歷史，也無法面對中國的打壓
要去除過去錯誤的價值觀，我們必須從台灣過去反抗權威的歷史中找到力量。過去台灣的反抗歷史中有人權價值的堅持，有對威權的英勇反抗。只有真正認識台灣過去的反抗歷史，我們的思維模式才能改變，我們能理解自由的追尋必須付出代價，也願意付出代價去維護我們今天所享有的一切。
最後，我們必須認識中國，這樣才能理解台灣和中國的差異是價值觀的差異。我們是為了捍衛我們所珍惜的價值，拒絕中國的侵略。

Past authoritarian rule imposed upon us misguided values, fostering obedience to authority. While Taiwan has undergone democratization, our erroneous mindset of authoritative rule has not completely changed. This is evident when, upon the arrest of Lee Ming-Che by China, many Taiwanese individuals continuously urged Lee's wife to compromise with China. Similarly, as Taiwan faces aggression from China, there are those who perceive Taiwan as the provocateur. If these f lawed thought patterns persist, we can never truly emerge from the history of authoritarianism, nor effectively confront China's oppression.
To discard past erroneous values, we must draw strength from Taiwan's history of resistance against authority. Within Taiwan's history of resistance lies a steadfast commitment to human rights and courageous opposition to authoritarianism. Only by truly understanding Taiwan's past history of resistance can we change our mindset, comprehend that the pursuit of freedom comes with a cost, and be willing to pay that cost to safeguard all that we enjoy today.
Finally, we must understand China in order to grasp the differences in values between Taiwan and China. We stand to defend the values we cherish, resisting China's aggression.
