This article presents information on the patriotic democracy movement in China. It is informed that the movement was started by students and gradually developed into a nationwide effort. At the present time, the movement is not yet finished, nor have forces hostile to the movement given up their censure or attempted suppression. Meanwhile, the minimal demands of the people remain unsatisfied. Nevertheless, the movement has had great success because it expressed the people's aspirations, aroused their democratic and patriotic sentiments, and thwarted the danger of violent suppression. It gave dictatorship a political death sentence. It is opined that profound changes must be made to institute real democracy in China and that China's road to prosperity and strength will be long, tortuous, and costly. As a result of the movement, autocratic forces in China will never be able to regain their former power. With the success of democracy and political and economic reform, the ideal of socialism will truly radiate and a new human civilization will eventually emerge.
