Motivated by love of China, disgust at the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and guilt over the system he had been part of, a former spy has publicly quit the CCP and urged his former colleagues to do the same.
Mr. Li Fengzhi, a former officer of China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), announced his withdrawal from the CCP on Wednesday, joining over 50 million other Chinese who have chosen to denounce the CCP.
Li, now living in the United States, said that the CCP has been harassing and threatening him since he decided to quit his job as an intelligence officer of the MSS. But the harassment did not stop him from finally deciding to quit the CCP publicly.
“On top of many other considerations, my conscience is the most important reason why I openly withdraw from the CCP,” Li said. “Withdrawing from the CCP is a truly patriotic deed, and an effort to save China. Standing up against the CCP is the best way to show my loyalty to my country.”
Li’s father, Li Shuchen, a retired engineer, also quit the CCP some time ago and encouraged him to bravely denounce the CCP for the sake of justice and freedom.
“No one with a background like mine has openly denounced the CCP,” Li said. “I am willing and happy to be the first. Someone has to be the first. All I wish for is that what I’m doing now could help, inspire, and encourage other people.”
Li appealed to people within the CCP, including his former colleagues in the state security system, to awaken to the CCP’s evil nature and coming collapse, and to break away from it before it’s too late.
Quitting the CCP
In the statement in which he quit the CCP, Li wrote: “Since its establishment, the CCP has been acting against the universal moral values of human beings. With its dictatorship, the CCP has suppressed human rights and deprived Chinese people of all rights to freedom and democracy.
