Despite the heavily regulated flow of information and ideas in China, occasionally some voices seep through the internet blockade and offer candid views on the Chinese communist regime.

In the New Year, Zheng Yefu, a sociology professor from China’s prestigious Peking University, did just that. He risked possible retribution by posting an article on Chinese social media that calls for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to “fade from history.”
