Quitting the CCP has become a massive trend

The massive wave of ‘Quit the CCP’ movement in China, initiated by the publication of “Nine Commentaries of Communist Party”, has reached another milestone today, with over 60 million people announcing their withdrawal from Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. According to Dr. Gao Dawei, Director of Global Quit CCP Service Center, this is quite a significant milestone and it is a reflection of the awakening of the Chinese people’s conscience, ten years after the collapse of the Communist Bloc in Eastern Europe.

Dr. Gao Dawei said, (recording) “the 60 million who quit CCP embodies the awakening of the conscience of Chinese people. The movement is a magnificent act of the Chinese people that is in accordance with the heavenly mandate as well as the call of the people. It embodies the heavenly mandates to eliminate Chinese Communist Party in China and bring back the blessing that’s long overdue. We noticed that now, people from all walks of the society are quitting, including many Communist party and government officials. It used to be the case that people would quit on their own, now they spread the news to other people as well.”

One notable example pointed out by Dr Gao is that of Mr. Qiu Mingwei, a reporter from People’s Daily who recently fled from China. Qiu quit the CCP through the Epoch Times website: According to his remarks “(recording), party and government officials would use their advantage of access to quit on the web, some even quit openly. This has become a trend. Behind the natural and man-made disasters in China, many people saw the evil acts of the party, and many have lost their hope for the party.”

There are more and more natural and man-made disasters in China, and there are more and more uprisings by the people against the party. Many come to the conclusion that it isn’t worthwhile to sell themselves to the party. Many officials, including high ranking military personnel, have quit the CCP with their real names. For example, there is a party policy research institute, all seven people within this institute have read the 9-commentaries, and they have all quit the CCP with their real names after a discussion amongst themselves.

A prominent psychology professor in China, Sun Yanjun, came to the U.S. to study. He then went back to China, charged with setting up a research institute aimed at using modern psychology to help with Communist brainwashing on religious people, including Falun Gong practitioners. As soon as he read the 9-commentaries, he changed his mind. He has since quit the CCP and has even quit working for the party.

Dr. Gao asks that all Chinese people should at this critical juncture in history participate in the spreading of the 9-Commentaries and encourage those around them to quit the CCP. When the Chinese Communist Party finally collapses, he believes that more people would be able to lead a decent life and enter a bright future.

Fear of war in Kokang, Chinese businesses in panic

Since recent sparks of violent conflicts in Kokang, Burma, all refugee camps in Yunnan, China have been evacuated. Despite the reluctance of most refugees to return to their original places of residence, the Chinese Communists regime forced their repatriation. Chinese business owners in Kokang are also concerned for recurrence of the violent conflicts, and many intend to flee the city, in fear of their lives.

Tens of thousands of Chinese people run businesses or work in Kokang. More than 90% of shopfronts have contributions from Chinese investors. Mr Huang, a Chinese business man in Kokang said, that he feared misconduct and robberies from the Burmese army, and many Chinese people are packing for their return to their hometown.

Mr Huang said, (recording), “All of the Chinese government’s refugee camps have been evaculated, and many refugees repatriated. Many of those refugees had no wish to return, as they feared for being robbed by the Burmese army. Those villages previously occupied by the alliance army had been cleaned out. The civilians who lived on the skirts of the village are now all homeless. [The army] has robbed Chinese shop fronts on the grounds they occupied, and captured the strong men. They also take vengeance on those who are found to be family members of the alliance army. The Chinese people who return are all packing, and on the way back to China. On the 28th, when a leaving group approached the Burmese borders reached Golden Triangle, the Burmese army captured a girl, and the girl was crying for help.”

Miss Zhang, a Chinese business owner in Kokang said Chinese people around her locality are all anxious that the violent conflicts may once again arise. However, some are still reluctant to leave, as their return to China would mean the loss of their income, home and possessions.

Miss Zhang said, (recording) “We are afraid that war may again take place. We have had our business here for many years, and sometimes we don’t see many Burmese people around at all. What can we do just by fearing them? Tens of thousands in investments cannot be shifted or pulled, and it cannot be sold, so we can only stay here. If the gun shots begin, we could only flee. Burmese people occupy this place, and we cannot communicate due to language restrictions. Sometimes when they come and and take things they don’t pay.”

Chinese business man Mr Zhang felt disappointed at the Chinese Communist government’s neglect of Chinese people outside of the borders. According to Mr Zhang, on the 28th of August when a Chinese man was killed by the Burmese army, they made calls to Chinese government officials for help, but the government took no notice. People who escape to the refugee camps set up by the Chinese Communist regime even have to pay for meals.

Mr Zhang said (recording) “If war breaks out again, we could only do the same, that is to flee. I would not want the shop any more. It cost us more than ten thousand, and all of our savings are here, so I also hope they do not declare war. Don’t mention the government, there is no hope in the government. Refugee camps also demand fees and charges, a dollar per meal, and seven dollars for a better meal. When the power cuts, they use a small electricity generator to fix the problem.”

Another Chinese business man from Kokang, Mr Ou-Yang said, the Burmese government has occupied the land around their place of residence, and the atmosphere is filled with the threats of war, which could break out at any moment. Mr Ou-yang said (recording) “Now that Kokang has been occupied, and the tanks have arrived, it’s not possible for there to be no war. We don’t know when it will happen.”

It has been 20 years since the Kokang alliance army signed the cease fire agreement with the government. On August 27th, a violent clash between the the Burmese government and the alliance army at the“Chinese special region”. Kokan leader Peng Jiasheng is now missing.

Appeals pointless in Beijing; time for public protest

Many petitioners have appealed in vain to different levels of the appeals office for many years. Recently, some petitioners have published a written proposal that suggests all petitioners hit the streets to expose publicly the evil conduct of local officials colluding with appeal offices of the central government to persecute petitioners.

Ms. Wang, a petitioner from Shandong province told reporters her personal experience. Ms. Wang thought she would be able to reverse the unjust verdict she suffers by filling out the registration forms at different appeal offices. However, once the petitioners filled out the registration form, local governments would bribe and buy over the officials at the appeal offices, and obtain their registration forms from the officials. Ms. Wang has suffered six kidnappings, and five illegal detentions for appealing. Later, she was sent to a labor camp for one year and 9 months. She endured numerous tribulations.

[Recording:] It serves no use to fill out the registration forms at the appeals office. No one tries to solve the problems for us. We went there appealing to protect our legal rights; however, we found out we cannot protect our rights by appealing. To the contrary, we suffered even more. Our legal rights are infringed upon even more. When we went to the city of Jinan, upon arrival, they claimed we were appealing with abnormal means. Then we were sent to detention centers, and labor camps. Some were sentenced to prison. Around August 20th, four or five of our fellow villagers went to the national bureau of appeal. After they came back, they were detained. They were released yesterday, however, as soon as they were released, they were again detained at a hotel, and were not allowed to come home.”

Another petitioner from Shandong named Liu Fengqin told reporters the National Bureau of Appeal resorts to all kinds of methods to deceive petitioners.

[Recording:] There are no human rights in China. Chinese people are living in a society in which they are wronged and exploited. They searched us, arrested us, treating us like criminals. Born into such a society, how can we not feel sorrowful? Do we have one day we feel delightful? No such day. If these corrupt officials are not eliminated, there is no use going there to appeal. No one is taking care of these matters. These state policies are written to be make believe in front of foreigners; they are not to be implemented for us. Not for us.

Liu also said the so-called appeal departments are not a place for handling issues of civilians. They are only a tool for maintaining state power. Petitioners feel helpless and extremely sad. That’s why they decided to take their grievances to the street to expose the persecution they have suffered.

[recording:] There’s collusion from top to bottom. They all collude. The national bureau of appeal was handed over to a supervising office on December 1, 2008. Since then no one has taken care of petitioners. Wouldn’t you say the handing over to the supervising office was fake? That appeal office deceives petitioners into going there, and petitioners are detained for 10 or 20 years. If all petitioners get onto the street in Beijing, they will be scared. You know.
