Mr. Qi Zhiyong said the Relay Hunger Strike is just like a rising storm taking over the whole of China; what the Chinese communist regime fears the most is people’s power

It was reported that, at 4:00 pm on February 8, when Attorney Guo Feixiong arrived at the Xinhua gate for a peaceful petition, the police took him away immediately.
