Symposium to Commemorate the 26th Anniversary of Hu Yaobang's Death (2015)

On April 15, 2015, the 26th anniversary of Hu Yaobang's death, the Hu Zhao Foundation, the New York Forum, the National Committee of the China Democracy Party, Beijing Spring and other organizations held a seminar in Flushing, New York.  Some participants believed that the background of commemorating Hu Yaobang was that Xi Jinping promoted new totalitarianism, which led to a high degree of division in China's ideological circles. Some participants pointed out that Hu Yaobang's legacy still has inspiration for today's China. If the CCP sincerely commemorates Hu Yaobang, it should take "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" as its governing motto.
