#中国人权 #每日一推 #良心犯 第364期:今天,2026年6月10日编程随想—阮晓寰在狱中度过其49岁生日
阮晓寰自2009年1月开通“编程随想”博客，至2021年5月9日最后一次发文,12年时间里,共发布了712篇博文;提供网络安全知识、翻墙方法、匿名教学及政治评论。 2021年5月10日被捕;2023年2月10日被以煽颠罪判刑7年

#阮晓寰：网名“编程随想”。1977年6月10日出生，福建省泉州市人，上海市杨浦区民京路558号长住居民，网络安全工程师，民主异见人士，中国在押良心犯。

2009年6月-2021年5月间，曾因撰写含有针对中共当局及其政体制度等不利信息的文章百余篇，并将其发布于境外网络平台，在引发网民广泛热议的同时；也引起了中共官方的高度警惕、极端不满和伺机打击；

2021年5月10日，因其曾经常使用网名“编程随想”，被中共国安人员查出其在豆瓣网注册过用的个人信息（内含大量针对中共政权的批评性言论），遂被上海市杨浦区警方从家中带走，次日即被以涉嫌“煽动颠覆国家政权罪”刑拘，家遭查抄，当场搜走正在使用中的计算机、手机及多部/件私人电子设备等物品；

同年6月17日，被上海市杨浦区检察院以同罪名正式批捕，指控其因长期存有对中共政权的不满情绪，多次“使用计算机编写100多篇带有造谣、诽谤煽颠性文章，内容涉及攻击抹黑现行政治体制、煽动颠覆国家政权、意图推翻社会主义制度”，并通过境外网站进行发布，造成大量网民浏览、评论、转发和效仿等“恶劣后果”，因而触犯了国家相关法律，应当逮捕法办；

在被严重超押近2年，2023年2月10日，终被上海市第二中级法院一审以“煽动颠覆国家政权罪”秘密重判有期徒刑7年，剥夺政治权利2年，没收财产人民币2万元，刑期至2028年5月9日；其不服，上诉；二审维持原判。

其妻子贝女士表示，丈夫在博客“编程随想”发表的文章被视为主要罪证。公开资料显示，“编程随想”一开始以发表电脑技术相关文章为主，之后开始加入翻墙和反搜索教学内容，以及对中共和中国政府的批评和时事政治讨论等。为了照顾不善于翻墙的内地读者，“编程随想”提供了“离线浏览”和“邮件订阅”功能。

据悉，其被宣判后，其父兄两家均遭警方约谈施压，“劝”其听任政府为其聘用律师，其妻亦遭警察围堵训诫2小时；截至2023年2月28日，同月22日其案已被上海市高级法院立案，2月28日，鉴于上海高级法院率先在二审期间使用“法援”律师侵占辩护席位，导致其妻委托律师无法行使合法辩护权，故其家人对相关司法人员的渎职行为和侵犯被告人辩护权等要求彻查纠正。

2025年7月底，阮晓寰被转到上海市提篮桥监狱服刑, 提篮桥监狱地址:上海市青浦区西庆路709号（11监区2组，番号01913）。邮政编码201700

本推文谨祝阮晓寰先生狱中一切平安,49岁生日快乐!

The first wave at Omaha Beach was a disaster. “Thousands of Americans were spilled onto Omaha Beach. The high ground was won by a handful of men like Taylor who on that day burned with a flame bright beyond common understanding.” https://t.co/Oq4tGZ6HgM

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.

At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.

Their mission: climb it.

The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.

The Rangers kept climbing.

It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.

They reached the top.

Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.

Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.

The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.

Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.

When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.

Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

@FreeforHKpeople @HKokbore 本质上下令开枪的那一刻，这个政权的合法性就已经不复存在了。后续的经济开放，就是一种对恐惧之下民众的“行贿”，然后各种管控手段维持或者促进社会大部分民众犬儒化。现在去说所谓当年学生的“责任”，更像是在为一个暴政的合法性辩护。

屠杀的一个结果就是对绝大多数成年人造成了深入骨髓的恐惧，不仅一代人犬儒化，这种犬儒化心态同时教育给了下一代。这种心态下，行为也就被规训在“维护权利”要在党划定的范围，而至于修宪永久任期则最好闭嘴不评论。可能指责几个人或者一个群体，是规避谈论自己或自己那代人所应承担责任的最好方式。

1989年上街的可不止学生，老师也上街了，工人也上街了，体制内也上街了，新闻媒体也上街了，军队也临阵不开枪了
结果带头的是几个二十岁的小孩
死的大多数二十岁的小孩
最后，所有的责任也能归咎到几个二十岁的小孩头上
但好像大家都忽略了这些人根本就不应该承担这些责任和代价
每年一谈到“六四”，人们往往在说学生怎么样怎么样
却没人问，那些实际上真正又能力改变和制止这一切的成年人们去哪里了
把自己没有获得公平权利的责任丢给个别人固然心理上能好受点
但如今人人生活在中共编织的这个大监狱里的处境，又何尝不是我们每个人自己给的

🚨Thrilled to share our new @CFR_China report with CFR Global Health's @TomBollyky, @Prof_Yadav_SCM, @OliviaWKosloff, & Elena Every: "The Pharma Choke Point."

The US is dependent on Chinese production for essential medicines, creating a "rare earths" problem in this sector. Seven hundred medicines approved for use in the United States depend on at least one chemical produced solely in China.

For the last year, our study group of pharma and biotech specialists, China scholars, and industrial policy experts came together to:

1⃣ Use commercial data to map the dependencies
2⃣ Devise a typology of three unique "archetypes" of these dependencies
3⃣ Craft solutions to address these dependencies

A few key points follow below:

➡️China's Leverage is real — Beijing doesn't need a wartime crisis to exploit it. It can slow shipments, delay licenses, or reroute flows through "peacetime weaponization." That's the playbook it has already run on rare earths.

➡️Current dependence is structural — It's the product of decades of Chinese state investment and Western pursuit of the low-cost solution. China controls the raw/starting materials for 94% of US amoxicillin, 74% of heparin, and 70% of acetaminophen. It's dominating preclinical work in biotech. And diversifying downstream offers no real protection from upstream dependence.

➡️Archetype 1: Upstream Dependence — Roughly 700 medicines Americans depend on at least one chemical made only in China, including antibiotics, blood thinners, ER drugs. Solutions include:

- building a strategic reserve of critical medicines
- building "allied scale" to create diversified production
- mix various long-term supply and demand interventions to change economic viability for KSMs, APIs, and other upstream inputs (more in the report)

➡️Archetype 2: Competitive Displacement of U.S. Biomanufacturing and Clinical Trial Capacity — For innovative biologics—medicines made from living cells—such as monoclonal antibodies, the risk is not a single upstream choke point but competitive displacement across every stage of the value chain: discovery, clinical development, contract manufacturing, and market access. The U.S. is losing a critical capability: now, WuXi alone handles nearly half of US clients' development programs. China alone is more than half of all late-stage monoclonal antibody programs. Lock-in deepens at every stage. Solutions include:

- accelerating first-in-human clinical trials in the United States
- funding and incentivizing the adoption of advanced biologics manufacturing technologies (e.g., low-cost capital from the USG)
- building contract research alternatives in allied countries like South Korea
- bolstering the U.S. biomanufacturing workforce
- creating a system to secure artificial intelligence (AI)–ready biodata and digital chemistry, manufacturing, and controls.

➡️Archetype 3: Dependence on PRC Infrastructure — Here, the vulnerability is not disruption in the supply of an existing product, but Chinese control over the research-and-development (R&D) infrastructure underlying future pharmaceutical innovation. Growing reliance on China for DNA synthesis is just one example. Solutions include:

- improving DNA supply chain security
- enhancing transparency and disclosing provenance
- increasing federal investment in next-generation DNA synthesis technologies
- and bolstering allied cooperation on standard-setting and procurement to encourage the adoption of these technologies.

➡️Key Takeaway: China has both the tools and demonstrated willingness to weaponize U.S. pharmaceutical dependence: the structural conditions enabling it run through nearly every tier of the pharmaceutical supply. The question is not whether to act, but if the United States will manage to do so before a crisis makes the cost of decades of inaction unavoidable.

I am so grateful to Tom, Prashant, Elena, Olivia, Chloe, Ben, Aarya, CFR's publications team, and so many others who made this possible. It was tremendously educational to work together on this project.

The Chinese government has mastered the art of strategic concession:offering just enough flexibility to deflect criticism while leaving its core agenda untouched. The “compromises” were never about changing course, only about managing appearances.
