Many more Chinese people have recently denounced the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and called for a distinction between patriotism and loyalty to the CCP.

Since the publication of The Epoch Times editorial series, “Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party“ in November 2004, more than 425 million Chinese have denounced the CCP. Based on the figures provided by the Tuidang website, the number of withdrawals last December reached 1,202,443.

The highest daily count of withdrawals was 58,589, while the lowest was 37,079. On average, more than 45,000 people denounced the Party each day.

The following passage is taken from recent statements of Chinese individuals on The Epoch Times’ website who used a pseudonym to withdraw from the Party.

CCP Does Not Equate to China

Hu Guangwei on Jan. 9 stated: “In his New Year’s address, CCP leader Xi Jinping once again emphasized reunification across the Taiwan Strait. The CCP is meddling in Taiwan’s elections again. Its ambitious agenda is now crystal clear! The CCP’s desire to forcibly unify Taiwan is not about unifying China, but annihilating China! It’s common knowledge that China does not equate to the CCP; the CCP is a foreign-originated cult that has drastically altered the land of China since its inception. Meanwhile, Taiwan has preserved the legitimacy of the Republic of China and the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, along with the universal values of democracy and freedom. If the CCP seizes control of Taiwan, China will be utterly lost. We must not let the CCP’s malicious plot succeed!”
He continued: “I withdraw from the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. I look forward to cross-strait reunification—a unification when democracy eradicates dictatorship, and China frees itself from the grip of the CCP! I hope that the radiance of democracy will soon illuminate the entire Chinese realm!”

A Massive Prison Camp

Zhang Qingzhou from Hebei expressed in a statement on Jan. 11: “The People’s Republic of China is not synonymous with China; it doesn’t even qualify as a true nation. It’s simply a massive prison camp, overseen by a gang of criminals!

“The CCP subjects us to relentlessly inhumane punishments, affecting both our physical and mental well-being, causing great harm to the people on this land! I am disassociating myself from this wicked organization, and I implore the people in Taiwan on the other side of the strait to elect a truly democratic president. Do not let the CCP infiltrate, and safeguard the last bastion of democracy and freedom in our nation!”

Fu Yuan described the determination to denounce the Party, stating: “The tyrant Mao waged war against heaven and earth, destroying the Four Olds and undermining traditional Chinese culture, causing me significant harm; Defaming Confucius to deprive our descendants of the knowledge of filial piety, promoting selfishness. The devilish Jiang Zeming prohibits the practice of ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance.’ I am determined to denounce the evil CCP!”

Lies and Deception

Shen Deshun shared about watching the film “Coming for You,” a story about Falun Gong practitioners raising awareness about the regime’s persecution of their belief in China, which is co-produced by NTDTV and New Realm Studios.

“Falun Gong is fundamentally different from what the CCP claimed; instead, all those evil elements the CCP talked about are attached with the CCP!

“Falun Dafa imparts the values of being a good person. Observing the main character in the movie undergo a positive transformation from a troublemaker to a kind-hearted individual through practicing Falun Dafa, witnessing the positive changes in his struggling family, and the miraculous recovery of his friend through practicing Falun Dafa, I was genuinely touched! However, seeing the baseless persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners by the malicious party filled me with profound anger.

“The existence of the CCP to this day is something I find intolerable. I am quitting the Party, Youth League, and Young Pioneer. I will not align myself with such malevolence!” stated Mr. Shen.

Zhu Sha voiced her strong aversion to the regime’s media narratives, such as: “To annihilate us is the eternal pursuit of the imperialistic Americans,” and “The responsibility lies entirely with the United States.

She wrote: “Are Chinese issues with education, housing, and health care caused by the United States? Are famines, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and recent domestic events like Hu Xinyu’s death all caused by the United States? Can we blame our lack of freedom of speech, press, and the right to protest in China to the United States? Is the United States blocking Chinese internet so that we have to use VPNs to access foreign websites? Why are corrupt CCP officials eager to send their children to the United States?”

She believed that these are all “convenient excuses” for the CCP to hide its own “governance incompetence.”

Awakening of The Police

Luo Xiyuan, a former auxiliary police officer, came to realize during his work that “the current police force has turned into the enforcers of the CCP’s evil agenda. I hereby announce my withdrawal from the CCP’s Youth League.”

Chen Hanhui from Hebei wanted to be a police officer to “apprehend criminals and ensure public safety.” However, his task in managing the Internet firewall granted him the opportunity to access many websites he couldn’t have.

“I realized that I have spent my entire life in an environment misled by the deceitful practices of the CCP. I have been thoroughly educated in the culture propagated by the CCP, to the extent that I’ve lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

“Having read ‘Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,’ I now have a more profound understanding of the evil nature of the CCP. I have been upset with the CCP’s ruthless persecution of Falun Gong practitioners for a long time, especially considering that these individuals are ordinary good people but undeservedly suffering.

He made a formal statement of Tuidang, expressing, “Henceforth, I am cutting off all connections with the CCP.”

‘China, a Living Hell’

Xiao Tan, currently residing overseas, declared: “I refuse to associate with evil! Wipe out the mark of the beast!”

Xiao explained that he had joined the Party without much thought. However, he realized, through both life experience and online information, that the “CCP is a bloodthirsty devil.”

He stated that the high-ranking CCP officials enjoy special privileges and benefits covered by public funds while leaving ordinary people suffering from lack of healthcare, affordable housing, and censorship.

“With the highest tax rates, the poisonous food, the smog, pollution, corruption, inferior constructions, the genocide, the CCP has turned China a living hell,” Xiao described.

“The CCP inflicts harm on Hong Kong people, meddles in the elections of Taiwan and other democratic countries, and extends its sinister influence worldwide.

“The CCP oppresses people’s beliefs, conducts forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners, shows disrespect to deities, and its list of atrocities is too extensive to enumerate.

“May the divine swiftly eliminate the devil and wicked Party,” wrote Xiao.

Xu Dongshi from Henan expressed that when he was in elementary school, it seemed a big mistake and a crime not to wear the red scarf, signaling the joining of the Young Pioneers. “Forcing children who know nothing to devote their lives to the CCP is extremely malicious,” Xu wrote, “I have decided to withdraw from the CCP’s Young Pioneers.”

A Stable New Life

Zhou Lihua recalled his own experiences after watching the documentary, “The Awakening of 400 Million.”

During the Cultural Revolution, his father, a school principal, was accused of being an enemy of the revolution, known as the “Five Black Categories.” Zhou was compelled to distance himself from his father to become a Red Guard.

He said: “I solemnly announce my withdrawal from the CCP’s Red Guards, the Young Pioneers, and the Youth League of the evil party, to completely eliminate the remnants of party culture. I am a descendant of the emperors Yan and Huang, a child of heavenly divine.”

“The Awakening of 400 Million” is a documentary that chronicles the spiritual awakening movement by the Chinese people. Li Jun, the director, investigated a dozen volunteers in Europe, Australia, the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, wishing the documentary could record this period of history.
Liu Shengyuan in Beijing denounced the Party and composed this poem:

Heavenly deities descend to save all beings, Extinguishing the century-old harmful pests. The land of China rejoices in unison, The communist evil cult meets its end.

Withdrawing from the evil Party, Youth League, and Young Pioneer, I won’t follow the Party to hell. Smoothly traverse through the great tribulation, Welcome to a stable and new life!
