In February 2006, the monthly withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations [the Communist Youth League (CYL) and the Communist Young Pioneers (CYP)], have reached a new high of 881,874, with the daily average of 31,495. These withdrawals were made on The Epoch Times’ Tuidang (Quitting the CCP) Website. On February 12, the number of withdrawals hit a daily record high of over 46,000. So far, more than 8.5 million Chinese people have declared their withdrawals from the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the Tuidang Website. Since May of 2005, the average daily number of withdrawals has been more than 20,000.
The rapid growth of withdrawals from the CCP has been attributed to the fast spread of the “Nine Commentaries” in mainland China. Since last year, copies of the “Nine Commentaries” along with the informational materials on quitting the CCP and various slogans have often been seen in public places in all the provinces and cities of China. Some of the phrases on these slogans include: “The CCP killed over 80 million Chinese,” “The CCP is not the same as China,” “The CCP is doomed to be destroyed,” and “Quitting the CCP is for your own safety.”
Beijing residents are always quickest to get news. They have witnessed many of the CCP’s bloody crimes including the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. They have also taken a lead in the CCP withdrawal wave. Since the CCP withdrawal service was opened through Internet circumvention technologies such as DynaWeb and UltraReach in February 2005, Beijing has led the nation in quitting the CCP for 10 months (February through October in 2005 and January in 2006), and ranked second for the other three months.
