WASHINGTON, D.C.—Ten years ago, this newspaper published a no-holds-barred editorial series examining and criticizing the Chinese Communist Party, the political regime that has ruled China since 1949.

The series, “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” discusses in a forthright way the Party’s means of rule and its consequences for the Chinese people and the world—with principal focus on the tens of millions of unnatural deaths, along with the destruction of China’s traditional culture and moral beliefs, that have taken place as a consequence of the regime’s policies and political campaigns.
