Cao Siyuan Lecture "China's Road to Constitutionalism" (2013)

In January 2013, the Hu Zhao Foundation invited jurist Cao Siyuan to give a speech in Flushing, New York, entitled "The Road to Constitutionalism in China". In his speech, he mentioned some thoughts on constitutional amendment and in his view that the word and concept of "dictatorship" should be deleted from the constitution. He said that as long as there is still "dictatorship" in the constitution, no matter whether it is ordinary Chinese people or China's top leaders, such as Liu Shaoqi, safety not guaranteed.
