On April 20, the number of people who have published their declarations to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its Youth League, and the Young Pioneers exceeded 376 million. This figure has surpassed the number of people who withdrew from the Soviet Communist Party before the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. A China expert said that this grassroots Tuidang (Quit the Party) movement that started in 2004 may also trigger the disintegration of the CCP within five years.

Withdrawing from the CCP, its Youth League, and the Young Pioneers is also referred to as the “Three Withdrawals” by Chinese people. According to the Tuidang website, where the withdrawal statements are published, as of April 26, nearly 376,368,000 people have posted their withdrawal statements. This number accounts for about 27 percent of China’s total population.
