AP Exclusive : Voices behind China ' s protest calls ( AP ) – April 6 , 2011 SEOUL , South Korea ( AP ) — Strolling past hip cafes , the young Chinese man in a white sports jacket and faded jeans looks like any other university student in the South Korean capital . But the laptop in his black backpack is a tool in a would - be revolution in China . The 22 - year - old computer science student is part of a group behind appeals that started popping up anonymously on the Internet seven weeks ago , calling on Chinese to stage peaceful protests to get the ruling Communist Party to move toward democracy . Those calls have spooked the government into launching one of its broadest campaigns of repression in years to keep the protests from catching on , as they have in the Middle East and North Africa . The Associated Press tracked down the student and some of his colleagues , giving an inside look at one group of campaigners behind the online petitions , and how they use technology to operate behind the anonymity of the Internet . The group is a network of 20 mostly highly educated , young Chinese with eight members inside China and 12 in more than half a dozen other countries . Calling itself " The Initiators and Organizers of the Chinese Jasmine Revolution " after a phrase used in the Tunisian uprising , the group is not the sole source of the protest calls ; at least four others have sprung up . Interviews with four members of the Initiators show similar evolutions : All are young people who grew to resent the government ' s autocratic rule and China ' s widespread inequality and injustice . The uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt made change look possible . " People born in the late ' 80 s and the ' 90 s have basically decided that in their generation one - party rule cannot possibly outlive them , cannot possibly even continue in their lifetimes . This is for certain , " the lean , soft - spoken 22 - year - old who goes by the Internet alias " Forest Intelligence " said in an interview at a cafe in Seoul ' s trendy Samcheong - dong district . The group ' s calls for weekly demonstrations every Sunday in dozens of cities have attracted many onlookers and few outright protesters . Still , their impact is clear . The government has responded with more police on the streets , more Internet monitoring and the detention , disappearance or arrest of more than 200 people . Artist and government critic Ai Weiwei appears to be the latest , taken into custody last weekend . The group said none of those detained have been involved with their protest calls . Members of the group requested anonymity out of concern that they or their families might be targeted by the government , which maintains an extensive network of informants among student groups overseas . Most members know each other only by Internet nicknames . They also are concerned that , with more than half their members outside China , their movement might be seen as a foreign - backed , anti - China plot rather than a response to real domestic problems . " The revolution was started purely because of the failure of domestic affairs , not because of overseas forces , " said " Hua Ge , " a Columbia University graduate in classics who lives in New York and who , at 27 , is one of the group ' s older members . He recruited the others . The first online calls for a Chinese " Jasmine Revolution " — a Twitter post on Feb . 17 and a longer appeal on the U . S . - based Chinese news site Boxun . com on Feb . 19 — remain anonymous . Soon after they appeared , Hua Ge said that he , together with a man in China that he refused to identify , started the websiteMolihuaxingdong . blogspot . com . " Molihuaxingdong " is Chinese for " Jasmine Movement " and it has evolved to include a Facebook page , a Twitter feed , and Google groups for every Chinese province or territory . Many of the sites are blocked in China , but remain effective because so many Chinese know how to elude government blocks , said Hua Ge . " People need to have some change in their thinking , " said the native of the central Chinese city of Wuhan . " They don ' t really understand what rights they have , or what kind of political future they can choose . " Their main Google group has more than 1 , 200 online users , though how many are inside China is unclear . An online survey posted in February received 300 responses , mostly from people in China , members said , and the group gets 50 to 100 emails daily from participants in the country . Outside China , members are in the U . S . , France , Australia , Canada , South Korea and Japan , among other countries . " Forest Intelligence " oversees the recruitment of volunteers and maintains the website . " Xiaomo , " a 24 - year - old college student in Paris , collates comments from surveys . Boston - based student " Pamela Wang , " 18 , translates news articles into Chinese and is one of eight administrators of the group ' s Facebook page . The eight members in China include an expert in online search engines , a former government employee who writes articles and someone who works on the website ' s layout , said Hua Ge . He refused to provide their contact information or reveal details about them out of concerns for their safety . Hua Ge said the group also has consulted Wang Juntao , a prominent dissident sentenced to 13 years in prison for advising students during the 1989 pro - democracy protests centered on Tiananmen Square . Freed on medical parole in 1993 , Wang now lives in New York and confirmed his assistance . Collectively , the group ' s postings are often clever with a touch of sarcasm . People are urged to " stroll " and " smile " rather than protest . " We are making a new history of revolution by a unique way : We use the sound of laughter , singing and salutations instead of the sound of guns , cannons and warplanes ! " a notice dated March 1 said . Online security is a major concern , and group members are constantly in touch . on Sunday , Forest Intelligence showed an AP reporter his laptop , which has a virtual machine installed — an operating system within the computer ' s normal operating system that provides an extra layer of protection against hackers . As soon as he logged on , Skype and Gmail chat services blinked with new messages . " Are you back yet ? " asked Xiaomo , who then relayed news that activist - artist Ai Weiwei was prevented from getting on a flight to Hong Kong . Less than an hour later , the news was posted on the group ' s website . On Tuesday , the group released an Internet safety manual to help Chinese users circumvent censors and issued another statement deploring the current crackdown . It warned that if activists were not released by April 10 , they would retaliate by using " search engine optimization " techniques so that when Chinese do online searches for names of officials , the results will link to reports about corruption . The group has no illusions that change , if it does come , will happen soon , but is willing to wait years to gather momentum . " Some people say this movement is going to die and this movement is not going to be successful like that in Tunisia or Egypt . But in those countries , it took three or four years for the people to make preparations and finally , there was a peaceful transition , " Hua Ge said . " It may take a period of time for the people to wake up , so the longer we continue our efforts the more people will know about the situation and join us . " Copyright © 2011 The Associated Press .
