This global hunger strike protest will be started on 24th of December, 1998, inside China, under the first front coordinators Mr. Wang Zechen and Attorney Mr. Wang Wenjiang of Liaoning Province, China. The planned hunger strike will last 4 months continuously with substitutions in turn by volunteers. So far, 214 individuals from 23 provinces out of 30 Chinese provinces and regions have joined the collective, open protests. If the planned hunger strike is not cracked down by the Chinese communist dictators, the action will be an unprecedented open confrontation between the populously supported Chinese freedom and democracy forces and the morally collapsed communist regime which has no legitimacy in the eye of ordinary people of China. Wang also declared that he has just received the supportive and inspiring message from Hong Kong Alliance in Support of China's Democracy: The entire Board of Hong Kong Alliance, the largest Hong Kong pro-democracy organization has unanimously passed a resolution that Hong Kong Alliance will sponsor its Hunger strike on the same day with Mr. Wang Xizhe's 72 hour, supervised hunger strike held in front of the United Nations. Ms. Xu Jun, the daughter of Xu Wenli, has orally committed to join Mr. Wang Xizhe's hunger strike at same place, same time. At least 12 people have so far volunteered to join Mr. Wang in New York.
