Stories of "Made in China" (1)
In this issue, we continue our discussion of slave labor in China.
The Chinese communist regime has one primary goal: to maintain power at all cost.
Those who insist on their beliefs and place their conscience above the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
face the full weight of the Chinese regime. For having such courage, they may be charged with
"betraying" their homeland or "revealing state secrets." They risk loss of reputation, long-term
imprisonment, torture, and even death.
A primary method of suppression is punishment by "re-education through labor." Skilled at propaganda
that twists logic and common sense, the CCP claims that such punishment gives people a chance to
"reform" themselves. Crushed by methods perfected over the ages, they give up their conscience and
"reform" into "patriotic" beings that never question the CCP.
The low cost of products made with slave labor has attracted great demand for them around the world.
For corrupt officials, the forced labor camps are such a profitable business that they care little that the
millions of inmates in the estimated 1,200 camps nationwide have never had a trial or a chance to
defend their innocence.
We bring you the stories of two such souls - Falun Gong practitioners who were imprisoned for their
beliefs and forced to endure "re-education" through grueling forced labor for refusing to betray their
conscience, making goods for export to western countries.
--- Story 1 ---
I Hope Children Don't Put Them in Their Mouths
By Wang Bin, Ph.D.
During the years 2000 and 2001, the Chinese National Security Division of the Beijing Police
Department arrested a large group of intellectuals who practiced Falun Gong, including university
professors. They were tortured until they accepted the Party's "reeducation." This was proclaimed to
the outside world as being done gently as "a breeze and rainfall in spring." I was one of them.
I was kept in a gloomy prison cell on death row with about 30 prisoners who were waiting to be
executed. The cell was only about 30 square meters (about 323 square feet). When I was first
imprisoned in this cell, I could smell all kinds of stinky odors from feces, urine, mold, rotten flesh and
materials. After a few months, I could no longer smell anything. I was used to the smell that permeated
the cell all day.
It was so quiet in the cell that one could even hear a needle drop. Everyone took advantage of this short
silence to ponder over his past. One day after another, quite a few people were getting closer and closer
to execution day.
Doors
The prison cell had two doors, the front and the back. The front door was a thick iron door and an iron
fence. The back door was also an iron door, as big as the front door. The front door was an
entrance-exit where prisoners were escorted in and out, or dragged out for execution.
Ten armed-policemen guarded the door against potential runaways. Every time the front door was
opened, it could mean someone was to die soon.
Air and Sun
"Open the cage!" the loud shout came from a policeman standing on the top. It broke into my thinking
and the stillness of the cell. The pale, unkempt prisoners started to show a hint of happiness on their
faces. One by one, prisoners walked outside of the back door. They nodded and bowed to show their
gratitude to the policeman. Then they quickly occupied a place with more sunlight.
The first time I was let out, I was shocked by what I saw. The first thing the prisoners did was get
naked. The scabies, sores and psoriasis on their bodies were fully exposed. I was not too surprised by
this.
Survivors and Labor
If they were not sentenced to death, the inmates surviving the detention center were sent to prisons to
complete their sentence and do slave labor. They brought their infections and sexually transmitted
diseases with them to the prisons, while they provided a vast cheap work force. An amazing number of
products made in China are produced in prisons and forced labor camps.
In May 2002, I was sent to the Beijing Repatriation Division of Provincial Criminals with several other
Falun Gong practitioners. We were waiting to be repatriated to other prisons to serve our sentence.
From this experience I gained a real understanding of the forced labor in prisons.
We were expected to labor tirelessly. The routine was to labor for 15 or 16 hours a day. If anyone had
trouble finishing the assigned work, he was punished by having to "sing until the dawn," which meant
he had to keep working and could not sleep. Since the cells were more than full, the prisoners had no
time to take care of personal hygiene. They counted the days, with their diseases worsening day by day.
I was arrested for practicing Falun Gong. I had committed no crimes. So I just considered myself as a
"correspondent" sent there to seriously observe what was happening around me. I hoped that one day
my observations would enable the world to have a better understanding of what goes on in Chinese
prisons.
From Christmas to Underwear
Our tasks included packing women's underwear, making copies of audio and video materials, attaching
trademarks to various products, processing books, binding books, and making fishing floats, colored
Christmas bulbs and accessories to be exported. I participated in all of the manual labor and had a good
understanding of each work procedure.
During one hot summer, the prison authorities ordered us to make packages for Gracewell underwear. It
was really hot and yet the prisoners hadn't showered for a very long time. They scratched all over their
bodies, while being engaged in manual labor. Some of the prisoners scratched their private parts every
now and again. When they took out their hands, I saw blood on their fingernails. I was not sure if
women would really look graceful in that underwear.
Another time, the prisoners processed a kind of packaged food called "Orchid Beans" for some small
business owners.
This snack was made from broad beans. They kept trucking broad beans into the prison. In the prison
there were barrels in which the broad beans were soaked in water until they were swollen. To spare
themselves some trouble when changing water in the barrels, sometimes the prisoners would dump a
whole barrel of beans into a dirty urinal and then pour water into the barrel putting the beans inside.
When the beans became swollen in the water, the prisoners would start to peel the beans. In front of
each person there was a set of parallel knives. The prisoner picked up a bean, rolling it over the knife
and removing the bean skin on either side leaving a "golden belt" in the middle. In this way the beans
looked good, though they were dirty and muddy. Then, the last step was to throw the beans back into
the basket.
At least 10,000 beans had to be peeled in one day to finish the assignment. As the prisoners bustled
around peeling the beans, their mucus and sputum mixed with the beans. Then the processed beans
were put into a big bag to be taken to the stores where they would be fried. The fried broad beans
looked golden and shining. They packed them in beautiful packages and sold them to customers.
The broad beans are in demand in the market and thus provide a high profit to sellers. Consumers enjoy
the beans.
In a U.S. supermarket, I saw fried broad beans imported from China. I wondered if our prison had
made those beans.
Annually, a large number of Christmas items and clothing for western countries are made in Chinese
prisons. Once the prison was assigned to make light bulbs. Every day prisoners were supposed to tie
copper wires tightly around a plastic tank in a fixed shape and then connect all the light bulbs together.
The prisoners' hands were usually bleeding. Needless to say, that stuff from their skin and sexually
transmitted diseases were left on the light bulbs.
Once the prison I was in made strings of beads as jewelry accessories. The prisoners used needles and
thread to string colored beads and then connected the two ends to make a string of beads. The strings of
beads looked beautiful. But, I hope that women don't put them around their necks and that children will
not put them in their mouths.

France resident: My Experience in a Chinese Labor Camp
I was imprisoned between November 2000 and November 2001 for refusing to give up practicing
Falun Gong. During that period of time, I was held in servitude at the Tuanhe Prisoner Dispatch Center
and the Xin'an Forced Labor Camp in Beijing.
Products Made
Beijing Tuanhe Prisoner Dispatch Center
Packaged large quantities of disposable chopsticks. Most of them were for use in restaurants and hotels,
while some were exported.
Made "Florence Gift Packages"
Beijing Xin'an Labor Camp
Packaged large quantities of disposable chopsticks. Most of them were for use in restaurants and hotels,
while some were exported.
Knit sweaters.
Knit woolen gloves (exported to Europe).
Crocheted cushions for tea sets.
Crocheted hats for a company in Qinghe Township, Beijing.
Knit seat cushions.
Re-processed sweaters; removed sundries from yarn.
Made large quantities of slippers. The job was mainly gluing the sole and the instep together, and the
labor camp demanded a high-quality product. When I was there, it was the hottest time of the summer.
Many practitioners and I were working in our prison cells. Working in a humid prison cell full of
irritating glue odors was suffocating. We worked until midnight or one o'clock in the morning every
time there was a shipment.
Made stuffed animals, such as rabbits, bears, dolphins, penguins, etc. Major steps included putting the
stuffing material inside, stitching the doll together, sewing the eyes, stitching the mouth, etc.
The Sanitation and Living Conditions of the Forced Labor Camp
(1) Beijing Tuanhe Prisoner Dispatch Center
I was locked up with over a dozen other Falun Gong practitioners in a cell that was about twelve square
meters (130 square feet) in size. There were only eight bunk beds in the room; thus, some of us had to
sleep on the floor. We did everything in this cell, including working, eating, drinking, and using the
toilet; therefore, there were many flies and mosquitoes. We were allowed to eat only at certain times.
Water was rationed, and drinking water was limited. The prison guards never allowed us to wash our
hands before meals. After a meal, we had to get back to work immediately. Twice a day, we were given
five minutes for personal hygiene. When the time was up, we were forced to stop and not allowed to
take any water back to our cell. If we could not finish the work assigned to us, we were not allowed to
clean ourselves. When there was a rush to get products out, we had to work late and go to sleep without
washing. There were fixed times for the whole group of practitioners to go and use the toilet. Even then,
we still had to ask the guards for permission. We were allowed two minutes to use the toilet each time;
thus, many people did not even have enough time to have a bowel movement. We could go to bed only
at the specified time; otherwise, we would be scolded and not allowed to sleep. At night, the guards
locked up all the cells. A small bucket in each cell was used for a toilet. We were watched even during
sleep.
We were allowed very little sleep each day, and forced to start working the moment we opened our eyes.
My hands had blisters and thick calluses from working long hours to finish the assigned quota of
packaging disposable chopsticks. I often worked until midnight. We were not allowed to sleep unless
we finished the quota. We were forced to work over 16 hours every day, and everything was done in
our cells. The sanitation conditions were extremely poor. Even though we were packaging disposable
chopsticks and the label said the chopsticks were disinfected at a high temperature, the entire process
was unhygienic. We could not wash our hands, and we had to package those chopsticks that had fallen
on the floor. In order to seek a huge profit, Tuanhe Prisoner Dispatch Center and Tuanhe Labor Camp
disregarded the health of the general public and knowingly committed such wrongdoings.
Many restaurants in Beijing are currently using these chopsticks. I heard they are even being exported
to other countries.
Female practitioners are forced to perform excessive physical labor. We were forced to unload trucks
full of bagged materials that weighed over 100 pounds each. We had to carry the bags on our shoulders
from the truck to our cells.
Other physical labors included digging pits, planting trees, and transporting fertilizers. The police
exploited our labor to create illegal income for themselves. The dispatch center did not compensate us
for any of our work. In fact, we were forced to do long and hard labor without any compensation.
(2) Beijing Xin'an Labor Camp
Both our bodies and minds were imprisoned and severely persecuted under the excessive workload.
The police often prevented us from sleeping at regular hours. When there were work orders, we had to
work day and night to produce the best product in the shortest amount of time.
All the work in the labor camp is labor-intensive. Falun Gong practitioners are forced to work until
midnight under dim lights, and everyone has a quota to meet. If a practitioner cannot finish the quota,
he/she is not allowed to sleep. One time we were making gift items for Nestlé; these items included
knitted products and crocheted cushions.
In order to meet the shipping deadline, we were forced to work in the hallway or lavatories until one or
two o'clock in the morning; sometimes we worked through the whole night. The police used this
method to control our thoughts. They would not let us have a single moment of idle time to think
calmly, and we were not allowed to talk to each other. They had drug addicts and "transformed"
practitioners monitoring us. They wanted us to do nothing but work.
During summer time, our cells were so hot that people sometimes collapsed from heat exhaustion.
Many practitioners developed symptoms of hypertension and heart disease from overwork. Their entire
bodies twitched.

Ms. Chen Ying was detained three times for practicing Falun Gong. She had been sent to a forced labor
camp for one year while she was visiting her family in China. Prison guards forcefully injected her with
toxic drugs, resulting in damage to the nerves on the left side of her body, spasms, and partial memory
loss. Ms. Chen is currently residing in France.

Epoch Times Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party - Part 9
The Chinese Communist Party, a Band of Scoundrels
Foreword
For over a century, the boisterous Communist movement has only=
brought mankind
war, poverty, brutality and dictatorship. With the collapse of=
the Soviet Union
and the Eastern European Communist Parties, this disastrous and=
absurd drama
finally entered its last stage by the end of the last century. No=
one, from the
ordinary citizens to the General Secretary of the Communist=
Party, believes in
the myth of Communism anymore.
The Chinese Communist regime came into being due to neither=
=93divine mandate=94 [1]
nor democratic election. Today, with its ideology destroyed, the=
legitimacy of
its reign is facing an unprecedented challenge.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is unwilling to leave the=
historical stage in
obedience to history. Instead, it is using the ruthless methods=
developed during
decades of political campaigns to renew its search for legitimacy=
and its
attempt to revive its dead mandate.
The CCP=92s policies of reform and opening up disguise a desperate=
intention to
maintain its totalitarian rule. The economic achievements earned=
by the hard
work of the Chinese people in the past twenty years did not=
persuade the CCP to
put down its butcher knife. Instead, the CCP co-opted these=
achievements to
validate its reign and to cover up and glamorize its consistent=
scoundrel
behavior. What is most terrifying is that the CCP is going all=
out to try to
destroy the moral foundation of the entire nation, attempting to=
turn every
Chinese national to various degrees into a scoundrel in order to=
create an
environment favorable for the CCP to =93advance with time.=94
In the historical moment today, it is especially important for us=
to understand
clearly why the CCP acts like scoundrels and to discern its=
criminal nature, so
that the Chinese nation can achieve lasting stability and peace,=
enter as soon
as possible an era devoid of the CCP, and construct a future of=
renewed national
splendor.
******************
I. The Scoundrel Nature of the CCP Has Never Changed
Who Is the CCP=92s Reform for?
Throughout history, whenever the CCP encountered crises, it would=
demonstrate
some traces of improvement, enticing people to develop illusions=
about the CCP.
Without exception, the illusions are shattered time and again.=
Today, the CCP
has pursued short-term benefits and in doing so produced a show=
of economic
prosperity that has once again persuaded the people to believe in=
fantasies
about the CCP. However, the fundamental conflicts between the=
interest of the
CCP and that of the nation and the people determine that this=
false prosperity
will not last. The =91reform=92 the CCP has promised has one purpose:=
to maintain
its reign. It is a lame reform, a change in surface but not in=
substance.
Underneath the lopsided development lies a great social crisis.=
Once the crisis
breaks out, the nation and the people will suffer once again.
With the change of leadership, the new generation of CCP leaders=
had no part in
the Communist revolution, and therefore have less and less=
prestige in managing
the nation. Amidst the crisis of its legitimacy, the CCP=92s=
protection of the
Party=92s interests has increasingly become the basic guarantee for=
maintaining
the interests of individuals within the CCP. The CCP=92s nature is=
unconstrained
selfishness; to hope such a party might devote itself to=
developing the country
peacefully is wishful thinking.
Let us look at what People=92s Daily, the mouthpiece of the CCP,=
said in a front
page story on July 12th, 2004: =93The historical dialectics have=
taught the CCP
members the following: Those things that should be changed must=
change,
otherwise deterioration will follow; those that should not be=
changed must
remain unchanged, otherwise it will lead to self destruction.=94
What is it that should remain unchanged? The People=92s Daily=
explains: =93The
Party=92s basic line of =91one center, two basic points=92 must last=
solidly for one
hundred years without any vacillation.=94 [2]
People don=92t necessarily understand what the =91center=92 and =91basic=
points=92 stand
for, but everyone knows that the Communist specter=92s=
determination to maintain
its collective interest and dictatorship never changes. Communism=
has been
defeated globally, and is doomed to become more and more=
moribund. Nevertheless,
the more corrupt a thing becomes the more destructive it becomes=
during its
dying struggle. To discuss democratic improvements with the=
Communist Party is
like asking a tiger for its skin.
What Would China Do Without the Communist Party?
As the CCP heads toward deterioration, people unexpectedly=
discover that for
decades the evil specter CCP has, with its ever changing roguish=
means,
instilled its elements into every aspect of ordinary people=92s=
lives.
At the time of Mao Zedong=92s death, so many Chinese cried bitterly=
before Mao=92s
portrait, wondering repeatedly, =93How can China continue without=
Chairman Mao?=94
Ironically, twenty years later, when the world is questioning the=
political
legitimacy of the Communist Party, the CCP has spread a new round=
of propaganda,
making people wonder again, "What would China do without the=
Communist Party?=94
In reality, the CCP=92s all-pervasive political control has so=
deeply branded our
culture and our mindsets that even the criteria with which we=
judge the CCP have
come from the CCP. If in the past the CCP controlled people by=
instilling its
elements into them, then the CCP has now come to harvest what it=
sowed, since
those things instilled in people=92s minds have been digested and=
absorbed into
their very cells. People think according to the CCP=92s logic and=
put themselves
in the CCP's shoes in judging right and wrong. Regarding the=
CCP=92s killing of
student protesters on June 4, 1989, some people said, =93If I were=
Deng Xiaoping,
I too would quell the protest with tanks.=94 In the persecution of=
Falun Gong,
some people are saying, "If I were Jiang Zemin, I too would=
eliminate Falun
Gong.=94 About the ban on free speech, some people are saying, "If=
I were the CCP,
I would do the same.=94 Truth and conscience have vanished, leaving=
only the CCP=92s
logic. This has been the consequence of the extremely vile and=
ruthless methods
used by the CCP. As long as the CCP can continually instill its=
moral toxins
into the people=92s minds, it can continue to gain energy to=
sustain itself.
"What would China do without the CCP?" This mode of thinking fits=
precisely the
CCP=92s desires of having people reason by its own logic.
China came through her 5000-year history of civilization without=
the CCP; no
country in the world would stop social advancement because of the=
fall of a
particular regime. After decades of the CCP's rule, however,=
people no longer
recognize this fact. The CCP's prolonged propaganda has trained=
people to think
of the Party as their mother. The omnipresent CCP politics have=
rendered people
faint in thinking how to live their lives without the CCP.
Without Mao Zedong, China did not fall; would China collapse=
without the CCP!?
Who Is the Real Source of Turmoil?
Many people know and dislike the CCP's scoundrel behavior, and=
loathe its
struggles and deceptions. But they, at the same time, fear the=
CCP=92s political
movements and the resultant turmoil, and fear chaos will visit=
China again.
Thus, once the CCP threatens people with =93turmoil,=94 people fall=
into a silent
acceptance of the CCP=92s rule, feeling helpless in the face of the=
CCP=92s despotic
power.
In reality, with its several million troops and armed police, the=
CCP is the
real source of turmoil. Ordinary citizens have neither the cause=
nor the
capability to initiate turmoil. Only the regressive CCP would be=
so reckless as
to bring the country into turmoil. =93Stability overrides=
everything else=94 and
=93Nipping the buds of all unstable elements=94=97these slogans have=
become the
theoretical basis for the CCP to suppress people. Who is the=
biggest cause of
instability in China? Is it not the CCP, who specializes in=
tyranny? The CCP
instigates turmoil, and then in turn uses the chaos it created to=
coerce the
people. This is a common behavior of all scoundrels.
******************
II. Economic Development Is Sacrificed by the CCP
Taking Credit for the Achievements of People=92s Hard Work
The CCP=92s claim to legitimacy lies in the economic development=
over the past 20
some years. In reality, however, such a development was gradually=
achieved by
the Chinese people after the fetters of the CCP were slightly=
relaxed and,
therefore, has nothing to do with the CCP=92s own merit. The CCP=
has, however,
claimed this economic development as its own achievement, asking=
people to be
grateful for it. The CCP would hope people to believe that none=
of these
developments would have taken place without the CCP, while we all=
know that many
non-Communist countries have achieved faster economic growth a=
long time ago.
Having won Olympic gold medals, the athletes are required to=
thank the Party.
The Party did not hesitate to use the forged image of a =93great=
nation of sports=94
to eulogize its sagacious leadership. China suffered a great deal=
in the SARS
epidemic, but People's Daily reportedly said that China defeated=
the virus
=93relying on the Party's basic theory, basic line, basic=
principle, and basic
experience.=94 The launching of China=92s spaceship Shenzhou-V was=
accomplished by
the professionals of astronautic science and technology, but the=
CCP used it as
an evidence to prove that only the CCP could lead the Chinese=
people to enter
the rank of powerful countries in the world. As for China=92s=
hosting of the 2008
Olympic Games, what was in reality an =93olive branch=94 given by=
Western countries
to encourage China to improve its human rights, the CCP uses to=
burnish its
claims to legitimacy and to use as a pretext for suppressing the=
Chinese people.
China=92s =93great market potential,=94 which is sought after by=
foreign investors,
stems from the consumption power of China=92s population of 1.3=
billion. The CCP
usurps credit for this potential, and turns it into a keen weapon=
used to coerce
western society into cooperating with the CCP=92s rule.
The CCP attributes anything bad to reactionary forces and the=
ulterior motives
of individuals, while crediting everything good to the Party=
leadership. The CCP
will make use of every single achievement to make its claim to=
legitimacy more
attractive. Even the wrongdoings that the CCP commits can be=
turned into
something good to serve its purposes. For example, when the truth=
about the
rampant spreading of AIDS could no longer be covered up, the CCP=
suddenly
created a new identity. It carefully mobilized its propaganda=
machine, utilizing
everyone from well-known actors to Party secretaries in order to=
portray the
prime culprit, the CCP, as a blessing for patients, a destroyer=
of AIDS, and a
challenger to disease. In dealing with such a serious=
life-and-death issue, all
the CCP could think of was how to use the issue to glorify=
itself. Only as
vicious a scoundrel as the CCP is capable of such ruthless=
behaviors as brazen
or underhanded taking of credits and an utter disregard for human=
life.
Economic Disadvantage Caused by Short-Sighted Behaviours
Facing a serious =93legitimacy crisis,=94 the CCP carried out the=
policies of reform
and openness in the 1980=92s in order to maintain its rule. Its=
eagerness for a
quick success has placed China in a disadvantageous position=
termed by
economists as the =93curse of the latecomer.=94
The concepts of =93curse of the latecomer=94 or =93latecomer advantage=94=
refer to the
fact that underdeveloped countries, which set out late for=
development, can
imitate the developed countries in many aspects. The imitation=
can take two
forms: imitating the social system, or imitating the=
technological and
industrial models. Imitating a social system is usually=
difficult, since a
system reform would endanger the vested interests of some social=
or political
groups; thus underdeveloped countries are inclined to imitate=
developed
countries=92 technologies. Although technological imitation can=
generate
short-term economic growth, it may result in many hidden risks or=
even failure
in long-term development.
It is precisely the =93curse to the latecomer,=94 a path to failure,=
that the CCP
has followed. Over the past two decades, China=92s =93technological=
imitation=94 has
led to some achievements, which have been taken by the CCP to its=
own advantage
in order to prove its =93legitimacy=94 and continue to resist=
political reform that
would undermine the CCP=92s own interests. Thus, the long-term=
interests of the
nation have been sacrificed.
A Painful Cost for the CCP=92s Economic Development
While the CCP constantly brags about its economic advancement, in=
reality,
China=92s economy today ranks lower in the world than during the=
Qianlong=92s reign
(1711-1799) in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong period,=
China=92s GDP
accounted for 51 percent of the world=92s total. In the early years=
after Sun
Yat-sen founded the Republic of China (Kuomintang or KMT period),=
China=92s GDP
accounted for 27 percent of the world=92s total. By 1923, the=
percentage dropped,
but still was as high as 12 percent. In 1949, when the CCP took=
control, the
percentage was 5.7, but in 2003, China=92s GDP was less than 4=
percent of the
world=92s total. In contrast to the economic downsizing during the=
KMT period that
was caused by several decades of war, the continuing economic=
decline during the
CCP=92s reign occurred during peaceful times.
Today, in order to legitimize its power, the CCP was eager for=
quick successes
and instant benefits. The crippled economic reform that the CCP=
launched to
safeguard its interests has cost the country dearly. The rapid=
economic growth
in the past twenty years is, to a large extent, built on the=
excessive use or
even waste of resources, and has been gained at the cost of=
environmental
destruction. A considerable portion of China=92s GDP is achieved by=
sacrificing
the opportunities of future generations. In 2003, China=
contributed less than 4
percent to the world economy, but its consumption of steel,=
cement and other
materials amounted to one third of the total global=
consumption.[3]
From the 1980=92s to the end of the 1990=92s, desertification in=
China increased
from a little over 1000 to 2460 square kilometres. The per-capita=
arable land
also decreased from about 2 mu in 1980 to 1.43 mu in 2003 [4].=
The widespread
upsurge of land enclosure for development has led China to lose=
100 million mu
of arable land in just a few years time. The confiscated land,=
however, has as a
use rate as low as 43 percent. Currently, the total amount of=
wastewater
discharge is 43.95 billion tons, exceeding the environmental=
capacity by 82
percent. In the seven major river systems, 40.9 percent of the=
water is not
suitable for drinking by humans or livestock. Seventy-five=
percent of the lakes
are polluted so as to produce various degrees of=
eutrophication.[5] The
conflicts between man and nature in China have never been as=
intense as they are
today. Neither China nor the world can withstand such unhealthy=
growth. Deluded
by the superficial resplendence of high rises and mansions,=
people are unaware
of the impending ecological crisis. Once the time comes for=
nature to take
revenge upon human beings, however, it will bring disastrous=
consequences to the
Chinese nation.
In comparison, Russia, after abandoning Communism, has carried=
out economic and
political reforms at the same time. After experiencing a short=
period of agony,
it has embarked on a rapid development. From 1999 to 2003,=
Russia=92s GDP
increased by a total of 29.9 percent. The living standard of its=
residents has
been significantly improved. The Western business circles have=
begun not only to
discuss the =93Russian economic phenomenon,=94 but have also begun to=
invest in
Russia, the new hotspot, on a large scale. Russia=92s ranking among=
the most
attractive nations for investment has jumped from 17th in 2002 to=
8th in 2003,
becoming one of the world=92s top ten popular nations for=
investment for the first
time.
Even India, a country that in the minds of most Chinese is=
poverty-stricken and
full of ethnic conflicts, has enjoyed a significantly expedited=
development and
achieved an economic growth rate of 7-8 percent per year since=
its economic
reforms in 1991. India has a relatively complete legal system in=
a market
economy, a healthy financial system, a well-developed democratic=
system, and a
stable public mentality. It has been recognized by the=
international community
as a country of great development potential.
On the contrary, the CCP only engages in economic reform without=
making
political reform. The false appearance of an economy that=
flourishes in the
short run, which created an illusion of the socialist system, has=
hindered the
natural =93evolution of social systems.=94 It is this incomplete=
reform that has
caused an increasing imbalance in the Chinese society and=
sharpened social
conflicts. The financial gains achieved by the people are not=
systematically
protected by a stable legal and constitutional system.=
Furthermore, in the
process of privatizing the state-owned properties, the CCP=92s=
power-holders have
utilized their positions to fill their own pockets.
CCP=92s Repeated Cheating of Peasants
CCP relied on peasants to gain power; the rural residents in the=
CCP-controlled
areas in the early stage of its buildup devoted all they had to=
the CCP. But
after the CCP obtained control of the country, peasants have=
experienced severe
discrimination.
After the CCP established the government, it set up a very unfair=
system: the
residential registration system. The system forcefully classifies=
people into
rural and non-rural populations, creating an unreasonable=
separation and
opposition within the country. Peasants have no medical=
insurance, no
unemployment welfare, no retirement pensions and cannot take=
loans from banks.
Peasants are the most impoverished class in China, but also the=
class carrying
the heaviest tax burden. Peasants need to pay a mandatory=
provident fund, public
welfare fund, administrative management fund, extra education=
fee, birth control
fee, militia organization and training fee, country road=
construction fee and
military service compensation fee. Besides all these fees, they=
also have to
sell part of the grains they produce at a flat rate to the state=
as a mandatory
requirement, and pay agriculture tax, land tax, special local=
produce tax, and
butchery tax in addition to numerous other levies. In contrast,=
the non-rural
population does not pay these fees and taxes.
In the beginning of 2004, China=92s Premier Wen Jiabao issued a=
=93No. 1 Document,=94
stating that rural China was facing the most difficult time since=
the economic
reform in 1978. Income for most peasants had stagnated or even=
declined. They
had become poorer, and the income gap between urban and rural=
residents
continued to widen.
In a tree farm in eastern Sichuan province, upper level=
authorites distributed
500,000 yuan (approximately US$ 60,500) for a reforestation=
project. The leaders
at the tree farm first put 200,000 yuan in their own pocket, and=
then allocated
the remaining 300,000 yuan to tree planting. But as the money was=
taken away
when passing through each level of the government, very little=
was left in the
end for local peasants who did the actual tree planting. The=
government did not
need to worry that the peasants would refuse to work on the=
project because of
inadequate funding. The peasants were so impoverished that they=
would work for
very little money. For this same reason products made in China=
are so cheap.
Using Economic Interests to Pressure Western Countries
Many people believe that trade with China will promote human=
rights, freedom of
speech and democratic reform in China. After more than 20 years,=
it is clear
that this assumption is only wishful thinking. A comparison of=
the principles
for doing business in China and the West provides a common=
example. The fairness
and transparency of Western societies are replaced by personal=
relations,
bribery and embezzlement in China. Many Western corporations have=
become
culpable by further exacerbating China=92s corruption; some=
companies even help
the CCP hide its human rights violations and persecution of its=
own people.
The CCP typically behaves like a scoundrel by playing the=
economic card in
foreign diplomacy. Whether China=92s aircraft manufacturing=
contract is given to
France or the U.S. depends on which country keeps quiet on CCP=92s=
human rights
issues. Many Western businessmen and politicians are driven and=
controlled by
economic profits from China. Some Information technology=
companies from North
America have supplied specialized products to the CCP for=
blocking the internet.
Some Internet websites have, in order to gain entry to the=
Chinese market,
agreed to censor themselves so as to filter out information=
disliked by the CCP.
According to data from China=92s Ministry of Commerce, by the end=
of April 2004,
China has seen a total US$ 990 billion of foreign investment in=
various
contracts. The =93huge blood transfusion=94 to the CCP=92s economy from=
foreign
capital is apparent. But in the process of investment, foreign=
capital did not
bring the concept of democracy, freedom and human rights to the=
Chinese people.
The CCP capitalizes in its propaganda on the unconditional=
cooperation by
foreign investors and foreign governments and the flattery of=
some countries. By
making use of China=92s superficial economic prosperity, the CCP=
officials have
become extremely adept at colluding with businesses to divide=
state wealth and
block political reforms.
******************
III. The CCP=92s Brainwashing Techniques: From =93Brazen=94 to=
=93Delicate=94
People are often heard to say, =93I know the CCP lied too often in=
the past, but
this time it is telling the truth.=94 Ironically, in retrospect,=
this is what
people would say each time after the CCP made a grave mistake in=
the past. This
reflects the ability the CCP has acquired over the decades to use=
lies to fool
its people.
People have developed some resistance to the CCP=92s tall tales; in=
response, the
CCP=92s fabrication and propaganda have become more =93delicate=94 and=
=93professional.=94
Evolving from the slogan-style propaganda of the past, the CCP=92s=
lies have
become more =93gradual=94 and =93subtle.=94 Particularly under the=
conditions of the
information blockade the CCP has erected around China, it makes=
up stories based
on partial facts to mislead the public, which is even more=
detrimental and
deceptive than tall tales.
Chinascope, an English language journal, carried an article in=
October, 2004
that analyzes cases whereby the CCP uses more =93delicate=94 means to=
fabricate lies
in order to cover up the truth. When SARS broke out in mainland=
China in 2003,
the outside world suspected that China had hidden information=
about the
epidemic, and yet the CCP repeatedly refused to acknowledge it.=
To find out if
the CCP had been truthful about its report on SARS, the author of=
the article
read all 400-plus reports on SARS from the beginning to April=
2003 on the Xinhua
website. These reports told the following story: As soon as SARS=
appeared,
governments at central and local levels had mobilized experts to=
give timely
treatment to the patients who later were discharged from=
hospitals upon
recovery; in response to trouble-makers=92 incitement of rushed=
shopping for
stock-up in order to avoid having to go out when the disease is=
widespread, the
government had wasted no time to stop rumors and taken steps to=
prevent their
spread, so the social order had been effectively ensured;=
although a very small
number of anti-China forces groundlessly suspected a cover-up by=
the Chinese
government, most countries and people did not believe these=
rumors; the upcoming
Guangzhou Trade Fair would have the largest participation ever=
from businesses
around the world; tourists from overseas confirmed that it was=
safe to travel in
China; experts from the World Health Organization, in particular,=
stated in
public that the Chinese government had been forthcoming in=
cooperating and
taking appropriate measures in dealing with SARS, so that there=
should be no
problems; and specialists had given the go-ahead [after over 20=
days delay] to
Guangdong province for field inspection. These 400-plus articles=
gave the public
including the author an impression that the CCP had been quite=
transparent
during these four months and responsible to the people=92s health,=
and made the
people disbelieve that the CCP could have hidden anything.=
However, on April 20,
2003, the Information Office of the State Council announced in=
its press
conference that SARS had indeed broken out in China and thus=
indirectly admitted
that the government had been covering up the epidemics. Only then=
did this
author see the truth and understand the brazen and deceptive=
methods employed by
the CCP.
On the general election in Taiwan, the CCP, using the same=
=93gradual=94 and
=93patiently guiding=94 approach, suggests to people that a=
presidential election
would lead to disasters: a surge in the suicide rate, a collapse=
in the stock
markets, an increase in =93weird diseases,=94 mental disorders,=
out-migration of the
island inhabitants, family feuds, a callous attitude towards=
life, a depressed
market, indiscriminate shooting, protests and demonstrations, a=
siege on the
presidential building, social unrest, political farce, and so on.=
The CCP filled
the heads of the people in mainland China with these ideas on a=
daily basis in
an attempt to let the people conclude for themselves: =93all of=
these are the
disastrous results of an election=94 and =93we should never ever hold=
a democratic
election.=94
On the issue of Falun Gong, the CCP has displayed an even higher=
level of skill
with deceptions meant to frame Falun Gong. The CCP=92s staged shows=
have been so
vivid and kept coming one after another. No wonder so many=
Chinese have been
fooled. The CCP=92s craftiness has been so deceptive that the=
victims of its
deception willingly believe in the CCP=92s lies and think that they=
have the
truth.
The CCP=92s cheating ability in its brainwashing propaganda over=
the past decades
has become more =93delicate=94 and =93subtle,=94 which is a natural=
extension of its
deceptive and shameless nature.
******************
IV. The CCP=92s Hypocrisy in Human Rights
From Seeking Democracy for the Sake of Power to Dictatorial Rule=
and Hypocrisy
in Human Rights
=93In a democratic nation, sovereignty should lie in the hands of=
the people,
which is in line with the principles of heaven and earth. If a=
nation claims to
be democratic and yet sovereignty does not rest with its people,=
that is
definitely not on the right track and can only be regarded as a=
deviation, and
this nation is not a democratic nation=85 how could democracy be=
possible without
ending the Party rule and without a popular election? Return=
people=92s rights to
people! =94
You may take the above as a quotation from an article written by=
enemies
overseas slamming the CCP; but you are wrong. The above statement=
is taken from
an article run by Xinhua Daily, a CCP newspaper, on September 27,=
1945.
The CCP that had trumpeted =93popular election=94 and demanded=
=93returning people=92s
rights to people=94 has been treating =93popular suffrage=94 as taboo=
since it usurped
power. The people who are supposed to be =93the masters and owners=
of the state=94
have no rights whatsoever to make their own decisions. No words,=
not even
=93roguish,=94 would be sufficient to describe the CCP=92s nature and=
what the CCP has
done to its people.
If you fancy that what=92s gone is gone and the evil cult of the=
CCP that has
flourished on killing and ruled the nation with lies will now=
start reforming
itself and becoming benevolent and be truly willing to =93return=
people=92s rights
to people,=94 you are wrong again. Let us hear what People=92s Daily,=
the CCP=92s
mouthpiece, has to say on November 23rd, 2004, 60 years after the=
above public
statement: =93A steadfast control of ideology is the essential=
ideological and
political foundation for consolidating the Party=92s rule.=94
Recently, the CCP proposed a so-called new =93Three No Principle,=94=
[6] the first
of which is =93Development with no debates.=94 The CCP=92s real purpose=
is not
=93development=94 but to emphasize =93no debates,=94 establishing =93one=
voice, one hall.=94
When asked by the renowned CBS correspondent Mike Wallace in 2000=
why China has
not conducted popular elections, Jiang Zemin responded, =93The=
Chinese people are
way too low in education.=94
However, as early as February 25, 1939, the CCP cried out in its=
Xinhua Daily,
=93They (the Kuomintang) think that democratic politics in China=
are not to be
realized today, but some years later. They hope that democratic=
politics should
wait until the knowledge and education levels of the Chinese=
people reach those
of bourgeois democratic countries in Europe and America=85=85 but,=
only under the
democratic system will it become easier to educate and train the=
people.=94
And the hypocritical difference between what Xinhua said in 1939=
and what Jiang
Zemin said in 2000 reflects the true picture of the CCP=92s roguish=
nature.
After the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989, the CCP reentered the world=
stage carrying
a miserable human rights record. History gave the CCP a chance to=
choose: Either
it should learn to respect its people and truly improve human=
rights; or it
could continue to abuse human rights inside China while=
pretending to the
outside world to respect human rights in order to evade=
international
condemnation.
Unfortunately, the CCP, consistent with its hypocritical nature,=
chose the
second path without hesitation. It sustained and gathered=
together a large
number of dishonest talents in scientific and religious fields=
who are
specifically assigned to put up deceptive propaganda overseas and=
trumpet the
CCP=92s progress in human rights. It concocted a range of=
unjustifiable rights
fallacies such as =93the survival right,=94 or rights to shelter and=
food. (When
people are hungry, do they not have the right to speak? Even if=
the hungry
cannot speak, would it be allowed for those who have eaten their=
fill to speak
for the hungry?) It even tried to deceive the Chinese people and=
western
democracies by repeatedly manipulating the game of human rights=
and had the
audacity to say =93the present is the best period for China=92s human=
rights=94.
Article 35 of China=92s Constitution stipulates that citizens of=
the People=92s
Republic of China have the freedoms of expression, publication,=
assembly,
association, protest, and demonstration. The CCP is simply=
playing a word game.
Tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners have been deprived=
of their rights
of conscience, speech, publication, and assembly. They do not=
have the right to
defend themselves, and even their appeal to higher authorities is=
considered
illegal. On more than one occasion, some civilian groups have=
applied to
demonstrate in Beijing. The government, instead of giving its=
approval, arrested
the applicants. The =93one state, two systems=94 policy for Hong Kong=
affirmed by
CCP=92s constitution is also a trap set up by the communist rulers=
for the British
government and the people in Hong Kong. The CCP talks about no=
change in Hong
Kong for 50 years, and yet it has tried to change the two systems=
into one by
attempting to pass tyrannical legislation, Basic Law Article 23,=
within just
five years. [7]
The new sinister ploy employed by the CCP is to use the fake=
=93relaxation in
speech=94 to cover up the nature of its monitoring and control. The=
Chinese now
appear to speak their minds more freely and, besides, the=
internet has made news
travel faster. So the CCP openly claims that it now allows=
freedom of speech,
and quite a number of people think so too. But this is all=
untrue. It is not
that the CCP has become benevolent, rather, the Party could not=
stop social
development and technological advance. Let us look at the role=
the CCP is
playing regarding the internet: It is blocking websites,=
filtering information,
monitoring chat rooms, controlling emails, and incriminating net=
users.
Everything it is doing is regressive in nature. Today, with the=
help of some
capitalists who disregard human rights and conscience, the CCP=92s=
police have
been equipped with the high-tech devices by which they are able=
to monitor every
move the net users make inside a patrol car. When we look at the=
indecency of
the CCP=97its conduct of evils deeds in broad daylight=97in the=
context of the
global movement toward democratic freedom, how can we expect it=
to make any
progress in human rights? The CCP itself said it all: =93It loosens=
up to the
outside but tightens up internally.=94 The CCP=92s immoral nature has=
never changed.
To create a good image for itself at the UN Commission on Human=
Rights, in 2004
the CCP staged an array of events to severely punish the abuse of=
human rights.
These events, however, are for foreigners=92 eyes only and have no=
substance. That
is because in China the biggest human rights abuser is the CCP=
itself as well as
its former General Secretary Jiang Zemin, former secretary of the=
Political and
Judiciary Commission Luo Gan, the minister Zhou Yongkang, and the=
deputy
minister Liu Jing of the Ministry of Public Security. Relying=
upon these people
to punish human rights abuse is like asking robbers to capture=
thieves.
An analogy could be made to a serial rapist who, when hidden from=
public view,
used to assault ten girls in a day. Then, there are too many=
people around, so
he can assault only one girl in front of the crowd. Can the=
rapist be said to
have changed for the better? His going from assaults behind the=
scenes to raping
in public only proves that the rapist is even more base and=
shameless than
before. The nature of the serial rapist has not changed at all;=
what has changed
is that it is no longer as easy for him to commit the crime.
The CCP is just like this serial rapist. The CCP=92s dictatorial=
nature and its
instinctive fear of losing power determine that it will not=
respect people=92s
rights. The human, material, and financial resources used to=
beautify its human
rights record have far exceeded its efforts in the true=
improvement of human
rights. The plaguing of China by the communist rogues has been=
the biggest
misfortune for the Chinese people.
Dress Up to Commit Scoundrel Deeds Using the Law As a Disguise
To protect the gains of special-interest groups, the CCP has on=
the one hand
torn up their previous fa=E7ade and completely abandoned the=
workers, peasants,
and the populace, and on the other hand with time advanced their=
deceitful and
scoundrel means as more and more human rights abuses of the CCP=
are exposed to
the international community. The CCP has used popular vocabulary=
such as =93the
rule of law,=94 =93market,=94 =93for the people,=94 and =93reform=94 to confuse=
people=92s
minds. The CCP did not change its evil scoundrel nature even if=
it dresses
itself up in a =93Western-style suit.=94 It is just more misleading=
and deceiving
than the CCP =93in a Mao suit.=94 In George Orwell=92s Animal Farm=
(1945), the pigs
learned to stand and walk on two legs. The newly acquired skill=
gave the pigs a
new image, but did not change their pig nature.
A. Making Laws and Regulations in Violation of the Chinese=
Constitution
These unconstitutional laws and regulations are passed on to law=
enforcement
personnel at various levels as =93the legal basis.=94 The goal is to=
assail the
people=92s efforts to fight against persecution, gain freedom, and=
uphold human
rights.
B. Non-political Problems Are Handled with Political Means
An ordinary social problem would be elevated to the height of=
=93competing with
the Party for the masses,=94 =93bringing demise to the Party and the=
country,=94
=93insurgence,=94 and =93enemy forces.=94 A non-political issue would=
intentionally be
politicized, so that the CCP could use political movements as a=
propaganda tool
to incite people=92s hatred.
C. Political Problems Are Handled with Non-political Means
The CCP=92s latest ploy to attack pro-democratic personnel and
independent-thinking intellectuals is to set up =93traps=94 in order=
to imprison
them. Such =93traps=94 include false accusations of civil offenses=
such as
prostitution and tax evasion. This is done with a low profile to=
avoid
condemnation by outside groups. These crimes, which are enough to=
ruin the
reputations of the accused, are also used to humiliate the=
victims in public.
The only change to the CCP=92s scoundrel nature, if any, is that it=
has become
even more disgraceful and inhuman.
The Hostage Culture of Scoundrels=97Holding Over One Billion People=
as Hostage
Imagine that a licentious criminal broke into a home and raped a=
girl. At the
trial, this criminal defended himself by arguing that he did not=
kill the victim
since he was busy raping her. Because killing is worse than=
raping and since he
did not kill the victim, he is not only innocent but should also=
be released
immediately. People should also praise him for only raping but=
not killing.
This logic sounds ridiculous. However, at this very time, the=
CCP=92s logic in
defense of its Tiananmen Massacre on June 4th in, 1989 is exactly=
the same as
that of the above criminal. The CCP has argued that the=
=93suppression of
students=94 avoided a potential =93internal disorder=94 in China. As a=
way to prevent
an =93internal disorder,=94 the =93suppression of students=94 was thus=
justified.
What does it mean when a criminal questions the judge in court,=
=93Raping or
killing, which one is better=94? It can only indicate how shameless=
the criminal
is. Similarly, in the issue of the Tiananmen Massacre, the CCP=
and its cohorts
did not reflect on whether it is guilty of killing. Instead, they=
asked the
international society which one is better: =93Suppression of=
students or internal
disorder that may lead to civil war?=94
The CCP is in control of the entire state machine and all means=
of propaganda.
In other words, the 1.3 billion Chinese people are held hostage=
by the CCP. With
the 1.3 billion hostages in hand, the CCP could always argue with=
its =93hostage
theory=94 that if it does not suppress a certain group of people,=
the whole nation
will be in turmoil or disaster. Using this as an excuse, the CCP=
could suppress
any individual or group at will, and its suppression could always=
be justified.
Given such deceitful arguments and fallacious reasoning, is there=
any worse
scoundrel more shameless in the world than the CCP?
Carrots Plus Stick=97from Bestowing =93Freedom=94 to Escalating=
Suppression
Many Chinese people feel that they enjoy more =93freedom=94 now than=
before, so they
hold out a hope for the prospect of the CCP=92s improvement. As a=
matter of fact,
the degree of freedom people are =93bestowed=94 depends highly on the=
CCP=92s sense of
crisis. The CCP would do anything to maintain the collective=
interests of the
Party, including giving so-called democracy, freedom or human=
rights to the
people.
However, under the CCP=92s leadership, the so-called =93freedom=94=
bestowed by the CCP
was not protected by any legislation. Such =93freedom=94 is purely a=
tool to benumb
and control people in the guise of following the international=
trend toward
democracy. In essence, this =93freedom=94 is in an irreconcilable=
conflict with the
CCP=92s interest in dictatorship. Once such a conflict is so=
activated as to be
beyond the CCP=92s tolerance level, the CCP could take back all the=
=93freedom=94
instantly. In the history of the CCP, there were several periods=
during which
speech was relatively free, with each followed by a strictly=
controlled period.
Such cyclic patterns course throughout the history of the CCP,=
demonstrating the
CCP=92s scoundrel nature.
In today=92s Internet era, if you visit the CCP=92s official Xinhua=
website or the
People=92s Daily online, you will find that indeed quite a few=
reports there
contain negative information about China. This is because, first,=
there is too
much bad news in rapid circulation in China these days, and the=
news agency has
to report these stories in order to stay credible. Second, the=
standpoint of
such reports coincides with the CCP=92s interest, i.e., =93minor=
criticism offers
great help.=94 The reports would always attribute the cause of bad=
news to certain
individuals, having nothing to do with the Party, while crediting=
the CCP=92s
leadership for any solution. The CCP controls skillfully what to=
report or not,
how much to report, and whether to have Chinese media or the=
CCP-controlled
overseas media report it. The CCP is a proficient at manipulating=
bad news into
something that can achieve the desired result of winning people=92s=
hearts. Many
youth in mainland China feel that the CCP now offers a good=
degree of freedom of
speech, and thus have hopes for and are appreciative of the CCP.=
They are
victims of the =93refined=94 strategies of the scoundrel media.=
Moreover, by
creating a chaotic situation in the Chinese society and then=
giving it some
media exposure, the CCP could threaten people that only the CCP=92s=
power could
control such a chaotic society and force people to endorse the=
CCP=92s rule.
Therefore, we should not mistakenly think the CCP has changed by=
itself even if
we see some benign intention by the CCP of improving human=
rights. In history
when the CCP struggled to overthrow KMT=92s government, it=
pretended to be
fighting for democracy for the nation. The CCP=92s scoundrel nature=
determines
that any promise by the CCP is not reliable.
******************
V. Various Aspects of the CCP=92s Scoundrel Nature
Selling out the Nation=92s Land out of Vanity=97Using The Name of=
National Unity to
Betray the Country
=93We must liberate Taiwan=94 and =93Unify Taiwan=94 have been the CCP=92s=
propaganda
slogans over the past few decades. By means of this propaganda,=
the CCP acted
like a nationalist and patriot. Does the CCP truly care about the=
integrity of
the nation=92s territory? Not at all! Taiwan was merely an historic=
problem caused
by the struggle between the CCP and KMT, and it was a means that=
the CCP used to
strike at its opponent and win people=92s support.
In the early days when the CCP set up the =93Chinese Soviet=94 during=
the
Nationalist reign, the Clause 14 of its Constitution stated that=
=93any ethnic
groups or any provinces inside China can claim independence.=94 In=
order to comply
with the Soviet Union, the CCP=92s slogan back then was =93To protect=
the Soviet.=94
During the Sino-Japanese War, the supreme goal of the CCP was to=
take the
opportunity to increase itself rather than fight against Japanese=
intruders. In
1945 the Soviet Red Army entered Northeast China and committed=
robbery, murder,
and rape, but the CCP did not utter a word of disapproval.=
Similarly, when the
Soviet Union supported Outer Mongolia to become independent from=
China, the CCP
was once again silent.
At the end of 1999, the CCP and Russia signed the China-Russia=
Boarder Survey
Agreement, in which the CCP accepted all the unequal agreements=
between the Qing
Dynasty and Russia made more than 100 years ago, selling out over=
one million
square kilometers of land to Russia, an area as large as several=
dozen Taiwans.
In 2004, the CCP and Russia signed a China-Russia Eastern Border=
Supplemental
Agreement and reportedly lost sovereignty of half of the Heixiazi=
Island in
Heilongjiang province to Russia again.
Regarding other border issues such as the Nansha Islands and=
Diaoyu Island, the
CCP does not care at all since these issues do not impact the=
CCP=92s power. The
CCP has made a fanfare of =93Unifying Taiwan,=94 which was merely a=
smoke screen and
scoundrel means for overcoming domestic conflict in the name of=
nationalism.
The Political Thugs without Morality
A government should always be monitored. In democratic countries,=
the separation
of powers plus the freedoms of speech and the press are good=
mechanisms for
surveillance. Religious belief provides the self-restraint of=
morality.
The CCP promotes atheism; hence, there is no divine nature to=
restrain morally
its behavior. The CCP runs on dictatorship, hence there is no law=
to restrain it
politically. As a result, the CCP is totally reckless and=
unrestrained when it
plays out its indecency and scoundrel-nature. How does the CCP=
speak to the
people regarding the issue of who will monitor it? =93Self=
restraint!=94 This is the
slogan the CCP has used to deceive the people for decades. From=
the =93Self
Criticism=94 in earlier times to =93self surveillance,=94=
=93self-perfecting the Party=92s
leadership,=94 to the recent =93self-enhancing the Party=92s governing=
capacity.=94 The
CCP emphasizes the super power that it has for so-called =93self=
improvement.=94 The
CCP does not just say it but actually takes action, establishing=
=93The Central
Disciplinary Inspection Committee=94 and =93the Office for Appeals=94=
and the like.
These organizations are merely =93flower vases=94 that confuse and=
mislead.
Without moral and legal restraint, the CCP=92s =93self-improvment=94 is=
equal to the
traditional Chinese saying of =93demons emerging from one=92s own=
heart.=94 It is only
the excuse the CCP uses to refuse external surveillance and=
refuse to lift a ban
on a free press and the forming of free political parties.=
Political thugs use
this delusion to fool the people and to protect the CCP=92s=
legitimacy and the
interests of the ruling group.
The CCP is expert at playing the political thug. =93The People=92s=
Democratic
Dictatorship,=94 =93Democratic Centralism,=94 =93Political Consultation=94=
and so on are
all deceptive means. Except for the =93Dictatorship,=94 they are all=
lies.
Employ Conspiracy to Forge Images of Being Anti-Japanese and=
Anti-Terrorist
The CCP has always claimed to have led the Chinese people in=
defeating the
Japanese invaders. But abundant historical archives expose that=
the CCP
intentionally avoided battles in the Sino-Japanese War. To the=
contrary, the CCP
only hampered the anti-Japanese effort by taking the opportunity=
of the KMT=92s
involvement in the war to increase its own power.
The only major battles the CCP fought were the =93Pingxing Pass=
Battle=94 and the
=93Hundred Regiment Battle,=94 both of which took place in northern=
China. In the
first battle, the CCP offered not at all the leadership and main=
force it has
claimed; the CCP troops merely ambushed the Japanese=
supplementary army. As for
the second battle, the inner CCP circle believed that=
participating in it
violated its own strategic policies. After these two battles, Mao=
and his CCP
armies did not engage in any serious battles, nor did they=
produce any
Sino-Japanese War heroes like Dong Cunrui during the war with the=
KMT in 1948
and Huang Jiguang during the Korean-American war.[8] Only a small=
number of
high-level military commanders of the CCP died on the=
anti-Japanese
battleground. Until today, the CCP cannot even publish a figure=
for its
casualties during the Sino-Japanese War, nor can one find many=
memorials in
China=92s vast territory for heroes in the Sino-Japanese War.
At the time the CCP established a =93Border Region Government=94 in=
Shaanxi, Gansu,
and Ningxia provinces away from the battlefront. Using today=92s=
nomenclature, the
CCP was conducting =93one country two systems,=94 or =93two Chinas=94=
inside China.
Although the CCP=92s commanders did not lack passion in resisting=
the Japanese,
the CCP=92s high-level officials were not sincere in fighting the=
Sino-Japanese
War, but instead took measures to protect their energy and use=
the war as an
opportunity to develop themselves. When China and Japan resumed=
diplomatic
relations in 1972, Mao Zedong let slip the truth to the Japanese=
Prime Minister
Kakuei Tanaka that the CCP had to thank Japan, since without the=
Sino-Japanese
War the CCP would not have gained power in China.
The CCP claimed to have led the Chinese people to sustain for=
eight years and
ultimately win the Sino-Japanese War. The claim could not be=
farther from the
truth.
More than half a century later, with the 911 terrorist attacks on=
US soil, an
anti-terrorist effort has become a global focus. The CCP again=
uses deceptive
strategies similar to what was deployed during the Sino-Japanese=
War. Using
anti-terrorism as a disguise, the CCP has suppressed many=
religious believers,
people with different opinions, local organizations, and ethnic=
minority groups,
labeling them terrorists. In the international anti-terrorist=
climate, the CCP
has launched violent persecutions.
On September 27, 2004, the Xinhua News Agency quoted the Xinjing=
Newspaper that
Beijing may establish the first anti-terrorist bureau among all=
the provinces
and cities in China. Many overseas pro-CCP media highlighted=
China=92s 610 Office,
a network of government agencies set up especially to persecute=
Falun Gong
practitioners, as an anti-terrorist organization, and claimed=
that the
anti-terrorist bureau would focus on attacking terrorist=
organizations including
Falun Gong.
The CCP slaps the label =93terrorists=94 on Falun Gong practitioners=
who hold no
weapons in their hands, do not fight back when beaten or=
insulted, and who
peacefully appeal against the wrongdoings of the CCP government.=
For this
defenseless group of kind people, the CCP has mobilized its=
well-equipped
=93special anti-terrorist force=94 to conduct swift persecution.=
Furthermore, the
CCP has used the name of anti-terrorism to evade international=
attention and
condemnation. The kinds of deception used here are no different=
from the ones
used by the CCP during the Sino-Japanese War. The CCP=92s misuse of=
anti-terrorism
has given this important international operation a bad name.
Overtly Agree but Covertly Oppose, Sincerely Pretending
The CCP does not believe its doctrines but forces others to=
believe in them.
This is one of the most insidious methods used by the evil cult=
of the CCP. The
CCP knows that its doctrines are false, and that the bankrupt=
idea of socialism
is untrue. The CCP doesn=92t believe in these doctrines, but forces=
people to
believe in them; if you do not believe in them, you are=
persecuted. Most
absurdly and shamefully the CCP has written such deceitful=
ideology into the
Constitution as the foundation of the state.
In real life, there is an interesting phenomenon. Many high-level=
officials lose
their positions in power struggles in China=92s political arena=
because of
corruption. But these are the very people who promote honesty and=
selflessness
in public meetings, while engaging in bribery, corruption, and=
other decadent
activities behind the scenes. Many so-called =93people=92s servants=94=
have fallen
this way, including the former governor of Yunnan province Li=
Jiating, the Party
secretary of Guizhou province Liu Fangren, the Party secretary of=
Hebei province
Cheng Weigao, Minister of Land and Resources Tian Fengshan, and=
the lieutenant
governor of Anhui province Wang Huaizhong. But if you examine=
their speeches,
you will find that without exception, they have supported=
anti-corruption
campaigns and repeatedly urged their subordinates to conduct=
themselves
honestly, even as they themselves were embezzling funds and=
taking bribes.
The CCP has promoted many examples and often attracted some=
idealistic and
ambitious people to join the Party for decorating the Party. On=
the surface, the
CCP has made itself attractive. But the world can see to what a=
pitiful degree
China=92s moral standard is declining. Why hasn=92t the CCP=92s=
propaganda of
=93spiritual civilization=94 worked to correct this?
As a matter of fact, the Communist Party leaders transmitted mere=
lies when they
promulgated =93Communist moral quality=94 or =93Serve the people.=94 The=
inconsistency
between Communist leaders=92 actions and words can be traced all=
the way back to
their founding father Karl Marx. Marx bore an illegitimate son;=
Lenin contracted
syphilis from prostitutes; Stalin was sued for forcing a sexual=
relationship
with a singer; Mao Zedong indulged himself in lust; Jiang Zemin=
is promiscuous;
the Romanian Communist leader Ceausescu=92s entire family became=
filthy rich
because of him; the Cuban Communist leader Castro hoards hundreds=
of millions of
dollars in overseas banks; and North Korea=92s demonic killer Kim=
Il Song and his
children lead a decadent and wasteful life.
In daily life, ordinary people in China loathe the empty=
political study
sessions. Increasingly, they equivocate in political matters,=
since everyone
knows them to be deceptive games. But no one, neither the=
speakers nor the
listeners at these political meetings, would speak openly about=
such
deception=97it is an open secret. People call this phenomenon=
=93sincere
pretension.=94 The CCP=92s high tunes, either the =93Three Represents=94=
several years
ago, or =93improving governing capacity=94 later, or today=92s =93three
hearts=94=97=93warming, stabilizing and gaining people=92s hearts=94=97have=
all been
nonsense. Which ruling party would not represent the people=92s=
benefits? Which
ruling party would not care about governing capacity? Which=
ruling party is not
about gaining people=92s hearts? Any parties that do not concern=
themselves with
these issues would soon be removed from the political stage. But=
the CCP would
treat such superfluous slogans as intricate, deep theories and=
stir up the whole
country to study them.
When pretending has been gradually molded into a billion people=92s=
habits and the
Party=92s culture, the society becomes filled with falsity,=
grandiosity, and
inanity. Lacking honesty and trust, the society is in a state of=
crisis. Why has
the CCP acted as such? In the past, it was for its ideologies,=
and now it is for
its benefits. The CCP members know themselves to be pretending,=
but they pretend
anyway. If the CCP did not promote such slogans and formalities,=
it wouldn=92t
have an opportunity to act like a scoundrel or a bully. If that=92s=
the case, how
could it make itself followed and feared by the people?
Abandon Conscience and Sacrifice Justice for the Party=92s=
Interests
In the book =93On the Communist Party=92s Moral Development,=94 Liu=
Shaoqi [9]
expounded especially on the need =93for Party members to subsume=
their individual
interests to the Party=92s interest.=94 Among CCP members, there has=
never been a
lack of righteous people who are concerned about the country and=
its people, nor
has there been a shortage of honest officials who have truly=
served the people.
But in the CCP=92s machinery of self-interest, these officials=
cannot survive.
Under constant pressure to =93submit oneself to the Party,=94 they=
often find it
impossible to continue, or risk being removed from positions, or=
worse, become
forced to join the ranks of the corrupted.
Chinese people have personally experienced and deeply understood=
the CCP=92s
brutal regime and have developed a profound fear of the CCP=92s=
violence.
Therefore, people dare not uphold justice and no longer believe=
in the heavenly
laws. First they submit themselves to the CCP=92s power. Gradually=
they become
unfeeling and unconcerned about matters not affecting themselves.=
Even the logic
of their thinking has been consciously molded to succumb to the=
CCP=92s might.
This is the CCP=92s nature at work, to behave like a gangster and a=
scoundrel.
Patriotism as a Nationwide Urgent Mobilization
The CCP=92s slogans of =93patriotism=94 and =93nationalism=94 are the=
sugar-coating to
seduce people. They are not only the CCP=92s main banners, but also=
its frequently
issued orders and time-tested strategies. Overseas Chinese, who,=
for decades
dare not return to China to live, may read the nationalistic=
propaganda in the
overseas edition of People=92s Daily and are inspired to become=
more patriotic
than the Chinese living inside China. Chinese people, who dare=
not say =93no=94 to
any CCP policy, were brave enough, under the CCP=92s leadership, to=
storm the US
Embassy and Consulate in China, throwing eggs and rocks and=
burning cars and US
flags, all under the banner of =93patriotism.=94
The Communist Party has decided that whenever it encounters an=
important issue
that demands obedience from the people, it will use =93patriotism=94=
and
=93nationalism=94 to mobilize people on short notice. For matters=
related to Taiwan,
Hong Kong, Falun Gong, the collision between a US spy plane and a=
Chinese
fighter jet=97in all cases the CCP has used the combined method of=
high-pressure
terror and collective brainwashing, thus bringing people to a=
war-like state of
mind. This method is similar to that used by the German Fascists.=
By blocking all other information, the CCP=92s brainwashing has=
been incredibly
successful. The Chinese people, even though they do not like the=
CCP, think in
the twisted mode instilled by the CCP. During the US-led Iraq=
war, for example,
many people are stirred up watching the daily analysis on CCTV=
[10]; they feel a
strong sense of hatred, vengeance, and desire to fight, while at=
the same time
cursing another war.
Shameless=97Mixing the Concepts of the Party and the Country,=
Forcing People to
Consider the Enemy as Their Father
One of the phrases the CCP often uses to threaten people is, =93the=
extinction of
the Party and the country,=94 placing the =93Party=94 before the=
=93country.=94 The
founding principle of China is that =93there would be no new China=
without the
CCP.=94 From childhood, people were educated to =93listen to the=
Party=94 and =93behave
like good children of the Party.=94 They sang praises to the Party:=
=93I consider
the Party as my mother,=94 =93Oh, Party, my dear mother,=94 =93The saving=
grace of the
Party is deeper than the ocean,=94 =93Love for my father and mother=
can not surpass
love for the Party.=94[11] They would =93go and fight wherever the=
Party directs
us.=94 When the government offered disaster relief, people would=
=93thank the Party
and the government=94=97first the =93Party=94 and then the =93government.=94=
A military
slogan reads =93the Party commands the gun.=94 Even when the Chinese=
experts tried
to design the uniform for court judges, they put four golden=
buttons on the
neckband of the uniform. Those buttons are lined up from top to=
bottom to
symbolize the Party, the people, the law and the country. It=
indicates that even
if you are the judge, the Party will forever be positioned above=
the =93law,=94
=93country,=94 and =93people.=94
The =93Party=94 has become a supreme name in China, and the =93country=94=
has become the
Party=92s subordinate. The =93country=94 exists for the =93Party,=94 and=
the =93Party=94 is
said to be the embodiment of the people and the symbol of the=
=93country.=94 Love
for the Party, Party leaders, and the country have been mixed=
together, which is
the fundamental reason why patriotism in China has become=
twisted.
Under the subtle but persistent influence of the CCP=92s education=
and propaganda,
many people, Party members or not, began to confuse the Party=
with the country,
whether they are aware of it or not. They have come to accept=
that =93the Party=92s
interest=94 is superior to all, and to concur that =93the Party=92s=
interests equal
the interests of the people and the country.=94 This result of the=
CCP=92s
indoctrination has created a wide-open space for the Chinese=
Communist scoundrel
group to betray the national interests.
Play the =93Redress=94 Game and Turn Criminal Acts into =93Great=
Accomplishments=94
The CCP has made many blunders in history. But, it has always put=
the blame on
certain individuals or groups through =93redress and=
rehabilitation.=94 This has not
only made the victims deeply grateful for the CCP, but also=
allowed the CCP to
completely deny any criminal deeds. The CCP claims itself to be=
=93not only
unafraid of making mistakes, but also good at correcting them,=94=
[12] and this
has become the CCP=92s magical potion with which repeatedly to=
escape elimination.
Thus, the CCP remains forever =93great, glorious, and correct.=94
Perhaps one day, the CCP will decide to redress the Tiananmen=
Square Massacre
and restore the reputation of Falun Gong. But these are simply=
the roguish
tactics that the CCP uses in a desperate attempt to prolong its=
dying life. The
CCP will never have the courage to reflect on itself, to expose=
its own crimes
and to pay for its own sins.
******************
VI. Thorough Exposure of Scoundrel Behaviors: Attempting to=
Eliminate
=93Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance=94 through State Terror
The fraudulent =93Tiananmen self-immolation=94 staged by the CCP evil=
cult may be
rated as the CCP=92s lie of the century. In order to suppress Falun=
Gong, a
government can be so perverse as to have seduced five people to=
pretend to be
Falun Gong practitioners and choreographed their fake=
self-immolation in
Tiananmen Square. Unbeknownst to them, these five people signed=
their own death
warrant, either beaten to death on the scene or killed=
afterwards. The slow
motion of the self-immolation video recorded by CCTV unmistakably=
shows that Liu
Chunling, one of the self-immolators, died after being hit on the=
spot by a
police officer. Other flaws in the footage included the sitting=
posture of Wang
Jingdong, the intact plastic bottle between his knees after the=
fire was put
out, the conversation between a doctor and the youngest victim=
Liu Siying, and
the way cameramen arrived to videotape the scene. The evidence is=
sufficient to
prove that the self-immolation incident was a deception=
maliciously designed by
the Jiang Zemin scoundrel regime in order to frame Falun Gong.=
[13]
A political party would use such evil and cruel methods, using=
the nation=92s
financial resources accumulated in the past 20 years of economic=
reform,
mobilizing the Party, the government, the military, the police,=
spies, foreign
diplomats and various other government and non-government=
organizations,
manipulating the system of global media coverage, implementing a=
strict
information blockade with individual and high-tech monitoring,=
all to persecute
a peaceful group of Falun Gong practitioners.
No scoundrel in history has lied so insidiously, so completely=
and as
pervasively as Jiang Zemin and the CCP. They use various lies,=
each targeting
and manipulating different notions and ideas that people hold.=
This way, people
can more easily believe the CCP=92s lies, and the Party can incite=
hatred toward
Falun Gong. Do you believe in science? The CCP says that Falun=
Gong is
superstitious. Do you find politics distasteful? The CCP says=
that Falun Gong
engages in politics. Do you envy the rich? The CCP says that=
Falun Gong gathers
wealth. Do you object to organizations? The CCP says that Falun=
Gong has a tight
organization. Are you tired of the cult of personality that=
lasted in China for
several decades? The CCP says that Falun Gong exercises mental=
control. Are you
patriotic? The CCP says Falun Gong is anti-China. Are you afraid=
of chaos? The
CCP says Falun Gong disrupts stability. Do you believe that Falun=
Gong upholds
Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance? The CCP says Falun Gong=
is not
truthful, compassionate, or tolerant, and that compassion can=
generate the
desire to kill.
Do you trust that the government would not make up such lies? The=
CCP makes up
lies that are bigger and more shocking, from suicides to=
self-immolation, from
killing relatives to murdering others, from killing one to=
slaughtering many=97so
many lies that you find it hard not to believe them. Do you=
sympathize with
Falun Gong? The CCP connects your political evaluation with the=
persecution of
Falun Gong, and demotes you, fires you, or takes away your bonus=
if Falun Gong
practitioners from your responsible area appeal in Beijing. You=
are forced to
become an enemy of Falun Gong. The CCP has kidnapped countless=
Falun Gong
practitioners and taken them to brainwashing sessions in an=
effort to force them
to give up their righteous belief and promise to stop their=
practice. The CCP
has used various evil reasons to persuade them, using their=
relatives, career,
and education to pressure them, inflicting them with various=
cruel tortures and
even punishing their family members and colleagues. Falun Gong=
practitioners who
are successfully brainwashed are used to brainwash others. The=
vicious CCP
insists on turning humans into demons and forcing them to walk on=
a dark path to
the end.
******************
VII. Scoundrel Socialism with =93Chinese Characteristics=94
The term =93Chinese characteristics=94 is used to cover up the CCP=92s=
shame. The CCP
claims all along that it owes its success in China=92s revolution=
to =93the
integration of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete reality of=
Chinese
revolution.=94 The CCP has frequently used and misused the term=
=93characteristic=94
as an ideological support for its capricious and roguish=
policies.
Capriciousness and Deceptive Means
Under the roguish fa=E7ade of the =93Chinese characteristics,=94 the=
only things the
CCP has accomplished are nonsense and absurdity.
The goal of the CCP=92s revolution was to realize public ownership=
of the means of
production, and it has deceived many young people into joining=
the Party
organization for the ideals of communism and unity; many of them=
betrayed their
property-owning families. But 83 years after the beginning of the=
CCP,
capitalism has returned, only now becoming a part of the CCP=
itself. Today,
among CCP leaders=92 children and relatives, many are new=
capitalists with
fortunes; many Party members have endeavored to join this group=
of nouveau
riche. The CCP eliminated the landlords and capitalists in the=
name of
revolution and stole their property. Now, the CCP=92s new =93royalty=94=
has become
even richer capitalists through embezzlement and corruption.=
Those who followed
the Party in the early revolutions now sigh, =93If I knew the=
situation today, I
would not have followed it then.=94 After several decades of sweat=
and struggle,
they find themselves to have simply devoted their brothers=92 and=
fathers=92
properties as well as their own lives to the CCP evil cult.
The CCP speaks of the economic base determining the=
superstructure [14]; in
reality, it is the CCP=92s corrupt officials=92 bureaucratic economic=
base that
decides the superstructure relying on high pressures to maintain.=
Suppressing
the people has therefore become the CCP=92s basic policy.
Another scoundrel characteristic of the CCP is manifest in=
changing the
definition of any cultural concepts, and then using its own=
mutated definitions
to criticize and control people. The concept of =93party=94 is one=
such example.
Since the beginning of time and all over the world, parties have=
been
established. Only the Communist Party exercises power beyond the=
domain of a
party collective. If you join the Party, it will control all=
aspects of your
life, including your conscience, subsistence, and private life.=
When given
political authority, the CCP controls the society, government,=
and the state
apparatus. It dictates all matters, from ones as important as who=
should be the
Chairman of the country or the Minister of Defense, or what=
regulations and
rules will be made, to as small as where one should live, with=
whom one can
marry, and how many children one can bear. The CCP has mustered=
all imaginable
methods of control.
The CCP uses the name of dialectics to completely destroy the=
holistic thinking,
reasoning faculty, and inquiring spirit of philosophy. While the=
CCP speaks
about =93distribution according to contribution,=94 the process of=
=93allowing some
people to get rich first=94 has been accomplished along with=
=93distribution
according to power.=94 The CCP uses the disguise of =93serving the=
people
whole-heartedly=94 to deceive those who hold these ideals, then=
completely
brainwashes and controls them, gradually changing them into=
docile tools who
=93serve the Party whole-heartedly=94 and who dare not speak up for=
the people.
Party of Scoundrels with =93Chinese Characteristics=94
Using a principle that values the Party=92s interests beyond all=
other
considerations, the CCP has distorted the Chinese society with=
the means of an
evil cult, creating a true deviated being in the human society.=
This being is
different from any other state, government or organization. Its=
principle is to
have no principle; it has no sincerity behind its smiles.=
However, kindhearted
people cannot understand the CCP. Based on universal moral=
standards, they
cannot imagine that such a roguish entity would be representing a=
country. Using
the excuse of the =93Chinese characteristic,=94 the CCP established=
itself among the
nations of the world. The =93Chinese characteristics=94 have become=
an abbreviation
of =93CCP=92s scoundrel characteristics.=94
With the =93Chinese characteristics,=94 China=92s crippled capitalism=
was transformed
into =93socialism=94; =93unemployment=94 became =93waiting for employment=94;=
=93being laid
off=94 from work became =93off duty=94; =93poverty=94 became the =93initial=
stage of
socialism=94; and human rights and freedom of speech and belief are=
watered down
to the right to survive.
Scoundrelism Imposed on the Country: An Unprecedented Moral=
Crisis Faced by the
Chinese Nation
In the beginning of the 1990s, there was a popular saying in=
China, =93I=92m a
scoundrel and I am afraid of no one.=94 This is the malicious=
consequence of
several decades of the CCP=92s roguish rule =97 imposing scoundrelism=
on the nation.
Accompanying the fake prosperity of China=92s economy is the=
rapidly declining
morality in all aspects of society.
The people=92s representatives of China oftentimes talk about the=
issue of
=93honesty and trust=94 during the Chinese People=92s Congress. In=
college entrance
exams, students are required to write about honesty and trust.=
This is a
reflection of a huge, looming crisis induced by the lack of trust=
and honesty
and the decline in morality. This crisis, although invisible, is=
ubiquitous.
Corruption, embezzlement, fake products, deception, and=
individual and
society-wide moral decline are commonplace. There is no longer=
any basic trust
between people.
For those who claim to be satisfied with an improved standard of=
living, isn=92t
stability in their lives their primary concern? What is the most=
important
factor in social stability? It is morality. A society with=
degraded morality
cannot possibly provide security and assurance.
The CCP has cracked down on almost all traditional religions by=
now and has
dismantled the traditional value system. The unscrupulous way by=
which the CCP
seizes wealth and deceives people has had a trickle down effect=
on the entire
society, turning the society into one of scoundrels. The CCP,=
which rules by
means of scoundrels, also essentially needs a scoundrel society=
as an
environment to survive. That is why the CCP tries everything it=
can to drag the
people down to its level, attempting to turn the Chinese people=
into scoundrels
to various extents. This is how the CCP=92s scoundrel nature is=
eradicating the
moral foundation that had long sustained the Chinese people.
******************
Conclusion
=93It is easier to alter rivers and mountains than to change one's=
nature.=94 [15]
History has proven that every time the CCP loosens its bondage=
and chains, it
does so without intending to abandon them. After the Great Famine=
of the early
1960s, the CCP adapted economic reform policies [16] aiming to=
restore
agricultural production, but without the intent to change the=
=93slave=94 status of
Chinese peasants. The economic reform and liberalization in the=
1980s had no
constraint on the CCP=92s raising of a butcher=92s knife on its own=
people in 1989.
In the future, the CCP will continue to alter its fa=E7ade but will=
not change its
scoundrel nature.
Some people may think that the past belongs to the past and the=
situation has
changed, and that the CCP now is not the CCP then. Some may be=
satisfied with
the false appearance they see and even mistakenly believe that=
the CCP has
improved, is in the process of reforming, or intends to make=
amends; thus, they
constantly brush away past memories. All these can only give the=
CCP scoundrel
group the opportunity to continue to survive and threaten=
humankind.
All efforts by the CCP are to make people forget the past. All of=
the people=92s
struggles are to remember what has happened.
In fact, the history of the CCP is a history that has severed=
people=92s memories,
a history in which children don=92t know the true experiences of=
their parents, a
history in which hundreds of millions of ordinary citizens live=
in and suffer
from the enormous conflict between cursing the CCP=92s past and=
holding out hope
for the CCP=92s present.
When the evil specter of communism fell upon the human world, the=
Communist
Party unleashed the scum of society and utilized the rebellion of=
hoodlums to
seize and establish political power. What it has done, by means=
of bloodstained
rule and tyranny, is establish and maintain despotism in the form=
of a =93Party
Possession.=94 By using the so-called ideology of =93struggle=94 that=
opposes nature,
heaven=92s laws, human nature, and the universe, it destroys human=
conscience and
benevolence, and further destroys traditional civilization and=
morality. It has
used bloody slaughters and forced brainwashing to establish an=
evil communist
cult, creating a nation of insanity in order to rule the country.=
Throughout the
history of the CCP, there have been violent periods when the red=
terror reached
its peak, and awkward periods when the CCP narrowly escaped being=
destroyed.
Each time, the CCP used its scoundrel behavior to extricate=
itself from crises,
but only to head for the next round of violence, continuing to=
deceive the
Chinese people.
When people recognize the CCP=92s scoundrel nature and resist being=
deceived by
its false images, the end will arrive for the CCP and its=
scoundrel nature.

In comparison with China=92s 5,000-year history, the 55 years of=
the CCP=92s rule go
by in a blink of an eye. Before the CCP came into existence,=
China had created
the most magnificent civilization in the history of humankind.=
The CCP seized
the opportunity of China=92s domestic troubles and foreign invasion=
to wreak havoc
on the Chinese nation. It has taken away tens of millions of=
lives, destroyed
countless families, and sacrificed the ecological resources upon=
which China=92s
survival depends. What is even more devastating is the near=
destruction of
China=92s moral basis and prominent cultural tradition.
What will be the future of China? What direction will China take?=
Such serious
questions are too complicated to discuss in a few words. However,=
one thing is
for certain: if there is no reconstruction of the nation=92s=
morality, no
restoration of the relationships between humans and nature, and=
between humans,
heaven and earth, if there is no faith or culture for a peaceful=
coexistence
among humans, it will be impossible for the Chinese nation to=
have a bright
future.
With several decades of brainwashing and suppression, the CCP has=
instilled its
way of thinking and its standard for good and bad into the depths=
of the Chinese
people=92s lives. This has led them to accept and identify with the=
CCP=92s
fabrication to a certain degree, and become part of its=
falsehood, thereby
providing the ideological basis for its existence.
To eliminate from our lives the wicked doctrines instilled by the=
CCP, to see
clearly the CCP=92s completely evil nature, and to restore our=
human nature and
conscience=97this is the first essential and necessary step on the=
path toward a
smooth transition into a CCP-free society.
Whether this path can be walked steadily and peacefully will=
depend on changes
made in every Chinese person=92s heart. Even though the CCP appears=
to possess all
the resources and violent apparatuses in the country, if every=
Chinese person
believes in the power of the truth and safeguards our morality,=
the evil specter
of the CCP will lose the foundation for its existence. All=
resources may return
to the hands of the righteous instantly, and that is when the=
rebirth of China
will take place.
Only without the Chinese Communist Party, would there be a new=
China.
Only without the Chinese Communist Party, would China have hope.=
Without the Chinese Communist Party, the righteous and kind=
Chinese people will
rebuild China=92s historical magnificence.
Notes:
[1] According to traditional Confucian thought, emperors or kings=
rule according
to the mandate from heaven, and to be given such an authority,=
their moral
achievements have to match that supreme responsibility. From the=
Mencius, a
similar thought can also be found. In the verse =93Who Grants the=
Monarchical
Power?=94 Mencius said, =93It was from heaven.=94 when asked who=
granted the land and
the governing authority to Emperor Shun. The idea of the divine=
origin of power
can also be found in western Christian tradition. In Romans 13:1=
of the Bible
(King James version), for example, one finds that =93Let every soul=
be subject
unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the=
powers that be are
ordained of God.=94

continue with the policies of reform and openness.

Epoch Times Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party - Part 8
How the Chinese Communist Party Is an Evil Cult
Foreword
The collapse of the socialist bloc headed by the Soviet Union in=
the early
1990=92s marked the failure of communism after almost a century.=
However, the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) unexpectedly survived and still=
controls China, a
nation with one fifth of the world=92s population. An unavoidable=
question arises:
Is the CCP today still truly communist?
No one in today=92s China, including Party members, believes in=
communism. After
fifty years of socialism, the CCP has now adopted private=
ownership and even has
a stock market. It seeks foreign investment to establish new=
ventures, while
exploiting workers and peasants to the maximal extent. This is=
completely
opposite to the ideals of communism. Despite compromising with=
capitalism, the
CCP maintains autocratic control of the people of China. The=
Constitution, as
revised in 2004, still rigidly states =93Chinese people of various=
ethnicities
will continue adhering to the people=92s democratic dictatorship=
and socialist
path under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the=
guidance of
Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong=92s ideology, Deng Xiaoping=92s theory=
and the
important thought of the =91Three Represents=92=85=94
=93The leopard has died, but its skin is still left=94 [1]. Today=92s=
CCP only has
=93its skin=94 left. The CCP inherited this skin and uses it to=
maintain its rule
over China.
What is the nature of the skin inherited by the CCP, i.e., the=
very organization
of the CCP?
******************
I. The Cultish Traits of the CCP
The Communist Party is essentially an evil cult that harms=
mankind.
Although the Communist Party has never called itself a religion,=
it matches
every single trait of a religion (Table 1). At the beginning of=
its
establishment, it regarded Marxism as the absolute truth in the=
world. It
piously worshipped Marx as its spiritual God, and exhorted people=
to engage in a
life-long struggle for the goal of building a =93communist heaven=
on earth.=94
Table 1. Religious Traits of the CCP.
The Basic Forms of a ReligionThe Corresponding Forms of=
the CCP
1Church or platform (podium)All levels of the Party=
committee; the
platform ranges from Party meetings to all media controlled=
by the CCP
2DoctrinesMarxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong's Ideology, Deng=
Xiaoping's Theory,
Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents", and Party Constitution
3Initiation ritesCeremony in which oaths are taken to be=
loyal to the CCP
forever
4Commitment to one religionA member may only believe in the=
communist
party
5PriestsParty Secretaries and staff in charge of party=
affairs on all
levels
6Worshiping GodSlandering all Gods, and then establishing=
itself as an
unnamed "God"
7Death is called "ascending to heaven or descending to=
hell"Death is
called "going to see Marx"

leaders
9PreachingAll sorts of meetings; leaders' speeches
10Chanting scriptures; study or cross-examination of=
scripturesPolitical
studies; routine group meetings or activities for the Party=
members
11Hymn (religious songs)Songs to eulogize the Party
12DonationsCompulsory membership fees; mandatory allocation=
of
governmental budget, which is money from people's sweat and=
blood, for the
Party's use
13Disciplinary punishmentParty disciplines ranging from=
"house arrest and
investigation" and "expulsion from the Party" to deadly=
tortures and even
punishments of relatives and friends
The Communist Party is significantly different from any righteous=
religion. All
orthodox religions believe in God and benevolence, and have as=
their destiny
instructing humanity about morality and saving souls. The=
Communist Party does
not believe in God and opposes traditional morality.
What the Communist Party has done proves itself to be an evil=
cult. The
Communist Party=92s doctrines are based upon class struggle,=
violent revolution
and the dictatorship of the proletariat and have resulted in the=
so-called
=93communist revolution=94 full of blood and violence. The red terror=
under
communism has lasted for about a century, bringing disasters to=
dozens of
countries in the world and costing tens of millions of lives. The=
communist
belief, one that created a hell on earth, is nothing but the=
vilest cult in the
world.
The communist party=92s cultish traits can be summarized under six=
heads:
1. Concoction of Doctrines and Elimination of Dissidents
The Communist Party holds up Marxism as its religious doctrine=
and shows it off
as =93the unbreakable truth.=94 The doctrines of the Communist Party=
lack
benevolence and tolerance. Instead, they are full of arrogance.=
Marxism was a
product of the initial period of capitalism when productivity was=
low and
science was under-developed. It didn=92t have a correct=
understanding at all of
the relationships between humanity and society or humanity and=
nature.
Unfortunately, this heretical ideology developed into the=
international
communist movement, and harmed the human world for over a century=
before the
people discarded it, having found it completely wrong in=
practice.
Party leaders since Lenin have always amended the cult=92s=
doctrines. From Lenin's
theory of violent revolution to Mao Zedong's theory of continuous=
revolution
under the dictatorship of the proletariat, to Jiang Zemin's=
=93Three Represents,=94
the Communist Party=92s history is full of such heretical theory=
and fallacy.
Although these theories have constantly caused disasters in=
practice and are
self-contradictory, the Communist Party still proclaims it is=
universally
correct and forces the people to study its doctrines.
Eliminating dissidents is the most effective means for the evil=
cult of
communism to spread its doctrine. Because the doctrine and=
behavior of this evil
cult are too ridiculous, the communist party has to force people=
to accept them,
relying on violence to eliminate dissidents. After the Chinese=
Communist Party
seized the reins of power in China, it initiated =93land reform=94 to=
eliminate the
landlord class, the =93socialist reform=94 in industry and commerce=
to eliminate
capitalists, the =93movement of purging reactionaries=94 to eliminate=
folk religions
and officials who held office before the communists took power,=
the
=93anti-rightist movement=94 to silence intellectuals, and the =93Great=
Cultural
Revolution=94 to eradicate traditional Chinese culture. The CCP was=
able to unify
China under the communist evil cult and achieve a situation where=
everyone read
the Red Book, performed the =93loyalty dance,=94 and =93asked for the=
Party=92s
instructions in the morning and reported to the Party in the=
evening.=94 In the
period after Mao and Deng=92s reigns, the CCP asserted that Falun=
Gong, a
traditional cultivation practice that believes in =93Truthfulness,=
Compassion and
Tolerance,=94 would compete with it for the masses and so intended=
to eradicate
Falun Gong. It therefore initiated a genocidal persecution of=
Falun Gong, which
continues today.
2. Promotion of Leader Worship and Supremacist Views
From Marx to Jiang Zemin, the Communist Party leaders=92 portraits=
are prominently
displayed for worship. The absolute authority of the Communist=
Party leaders
forbids any challenge. Mao Zedong was set up as the =93red sun=94 and=
=93big
liberator.=94 The Party spoke outrageously about his writing,=
saying =93one sentence
equals 10,000 ordinary sentences.=94 As an =93ordinary party member,=94=
Deng Xiaoping
once dominated Chinese politics like an overlord. Jiang Zemin=92s=
=93Three
Represents=94 theory is merely a little over 40 characters long=
including
punctuation, but the CCP Fourth Plenary Session boosted it as=
=93providing a
creative answer to questions such as what socialism is, how to=
construct
socialism, what kind of party we are building and how to build=
the Party.=94 The
Party also spoke outrageously about the thought of the =93Three=
Represents,=94
although in this case actually mocking it when saying it is a=
continuation and
development of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng=
Xiaoping Theory.
Stalin=92s wanton slaughter of innocent people, the catastrophic=
=93Great Cultural
Revolution=94 launched by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping=92s order for the=
Tiananmen
Massacre and Jiang Zemin=92s ongoing persecution of Falun Gong are=
the dreadful
results of the Communist Party=92s heretical dictatorship.
On one hand, the CCP stipulates in its Constitution, =93All power=
in the People's
Republic of China belongs to the people. The organs through which=
the people
exercise state power are the National People's Congress and the=
local people's
congresses at different levels.=94 =93No organization or individual=
may enjoy the
privilege of being above the Constitution and the law.=94 [2] On=
the other hand,
the CCP Charter stipulates that the CCP is the core of the=
leadership for the
Chinese-featured socialist cause, overriding both the country and=
the people.
The chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's=
Congress made
=93important speeches=94 across the country, claiming that the=
National People's
Congress, the highest organ of state power, must adhere to the=
CCP's leadership.
According to the CCP's principle of =93democratic centralism,=94 the=
entire party
must obey the Central Committee of the Party. Stripped to its=
core, what the
National People=92s Congress really insists upon is the=
dictatorship of the
General Secretary, which is in turn protected in the form of=
legislation.
3. Violent Brainwashing, Mind Control, Tight Organization and No=
Quitting Once
Admitted
The CCP's organization is extremely tight: one needs two party=
members=92
references before admission; a new member must swear to be loyal=
to the party
forever once admitted; party members must pay membership dues,=
attend
organizational activities, and take part in group political=
study. The party
organizations penetrate all levels of the government. There are=
basic CCP
organizations in every single village, town, and neighborhood.=
The CCP controls
not only its party members and party affairs, but also those who=
are not
members, because the entire regime must =93adhere to the Party's=
leadership.=94 In
those years when class struggle campaigns were carried out, the=
=93priests=94 of the
CCP religion, namely, the Party secretaries at all levels, more=
often than not,
did not know exactly what they did other than disciplining=
people.
The =93criticism and self-criticism=94 in the party meetings serves=
as a common,
unending means for controlling the minds of party members.=
Historically, the CCP
launched a multitude of political movements for =93purifying the=
Party members,=94
=93rectifying the Party atmosphere,=94 =93capturing traitors,=94 =93purging=
the
Anti-Bolshevik Corps (AB Corps) [3]=94 and =93disciplining the=
Party,=94 periodically
testing the =93sense of Party nature=94 or aptitude for the Party of=
its members
with violence and terror and keeping them in step with the Party=
forever.
Joining the CCP is like signing an irrevocable contract to sell=
one=92s body and
soul. With the Party=92s rules being always above the laws of the=
Nation, the
Party can dismiss any party member at will, while the individual=
party member
cannot quit the CCP without incurring severe punishment. Quitting=
the Party is
considered disloyal and will bring about dire consequences.=
During the Great
Cultural Revolution when the CCP cult held absolute rule, it was=
well known that
if the party wanted you dead, you could not live; if the party=
wanted you alive,
you could not die. If a person committed suicide, he would be=
labeled as
=93dreading the people=92s punishment for his crime=94 and his family=
members would
also be implicated and punished.
The decision process within the Party operates like a black box,=
as the
intra-party struggles must be kept in absolute secrecy. Party=
documents are all
confidential. Dreading exposure of their criminal acts, the CCP=
frequently
tackles dissidents by charging them with =93divulging state=
secrets.=94
4. Urging Violence, Carnage and Sacrifice for the Party
Mao Zedong said, =93A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing=
an essay, or
painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined,=
so leisurely
and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and=
magnanimous. A
revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one=
class overthrows
another.=94 [4]
Deng Xiaoping remarked, =93Killing 200,000 people in exchange for=
20 years=92
stability.=94
Jiang Zemin ordered, =93Destroy them (Falun Gong practitioners)=
physically, defame
their reputation, and bankrupt them financially.=94
The CCP promotes violence, and has killed countless people=
throughout its
previous political movements. It educates people to treat the=
enemy =93as cold as
the severe winter.=94 The Red Flag is taken red for having been=
=93dyed red with
martyrs=92 blood.=94 The Party worships red due to its addiction to=
blood and
carnage.
The CCP makes an exhibition of =93heroic=94 examples to encourage=
people to
sacrifice for the Party. When Zhang Side died working in a kiln=
to produce
opium, Mao Zedong praised his death as =93heavy as Mount Tai [5].=94=
In those
frenzied years, =93brave words=94 such as =93Fear neither hardship nor=
death=94 and
=93Bitter sacrifice strengthens bold resolve; we dare to make the=
sun and moon
shine in new skies=94 gave aspirations substance amidst an extreme=
shortage of
material supplies.
At the end of the 1970's, the Vietcong dispatched troops and=
overthrew the Khmer
Rouge regime, which was fostered by the CCP and committed=
unspeakable crimes.
Although the CCP was furious, it could not dispatch troops to=
support the Khmer
Rouge, since China and Cambodia did not share a common border.=
Instead, the CCP
launched a war against Vietnam along the Chinese-Vietnam border=
to punish the
Vietcong in the name of =93self-defense.=94 Tens of thousands of=
Chinese soldiers
therefore sacrificed blood and lives for this struggle between=
Communist
Parties. Their deaths had in fact nothing to do with territory or=
sovereignty.
Nevertheless, several years later, the CCP disgracefully=
memorialized the
senseless sacrifice of so many naive and bright young lives as=
=93the
revolutionary heroic spirit,=94 irreverently borrowing the song=
=93The elegant
demeanor dyed by blood.=94 While 154 Chinese martyrs died in 1981=
recapturing
Mount Faka in Guangxi Province, the CCP casually returned it to=
Vietnam after
China and Vietnam surveyed the boundary.
When the rampant spread of SARS threatened people's lives at the=
beginning of
2003, the CCP readily admitted many young female nurses. These=
women were then
quickly confined in hospitals to nurse SARS patients. The CCP=
push young people
to the most dangerous frontline, in order to establish its=
=93glorious image=94 of
=93Fear neither hardship nor death.=94 However, the CCP has no=
explanation as to
where the rest of the current 65 million party members were and=
what image they
brought to the Party.
5. Denying Belief in God and Smothering Human Nature
The CCP promotes atheism and claims that religion is =93spiritual=
opium=94 that can
intoxicate the people. It used its power to squelch all religions=
in China, and
then it deified itself, giving absolute rule of the country to=
the CCP cult.
At the same time as the CCP sabotaged religion, it also destroyed=
traditional
culture. It claimed that tradition, morality and ethics were=
feudalistic,
superstitious and reactionary, eradicating them in the name of=
revolution.
During the great Cultural Revolution, widespread ugly phenomena=
violated Chinese
traditions, such as married couples exposing each other, students=
beating their
teachers, fathers and sons turning against each other, Red Guards=
wantonly
killing the innocent, and rebels beating, smashing and looting.=
These were the
natural consequences of the CCP=92s smothering human nature.
After establishing its regime, the CCP forced minority=
nationalities to pledge
allegiance to the communist leadership, compromising the rich and=
colorful
ethnic culture they had established.
On June 4, 1989, the so-called =93People's Liberation Army=94=
massacred many
students in Beijing. This caused the Chinese to completely lose=
hope in China=92s
political future. From then on, the entire people turned their=
focus to making
money. From 1999 to this day, the CCP has been brutally=
persecuting Falun Gong,
turning against =93Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance=94 and=
thereby causing an
accelerated decline in moral standards.
At the beginning of this new century, a new round of illegal land=
enclosure [6]
and control of monetary and material resources has driven many=
people to become
destitute and homeless. The number of appellants increased=
sharply, and social
conflict has intensified. Large-scale protests are frequent,=
which have incurred
violent suppression by police and armed forces. The fascist=
nature of the
=93Republic=94 has become prominent, and society has lost its moral=
conscience.
In the past, a villain didn=92t harm his next door neighbors, or,=
as the saying
goes, the fox preyed far from home. Nowadays, when people want to=
con someone,
they would rather target their relatives and friends, and call it=
=93killing
acquaintances.=94
In the past, Chinese nationals cherished chastity above all else,=
whereas people
today ridicule the poor but not the prostitutes. The history of=
the destruction
of human nature and morals in China is vividly displayed in a=
ballad below:
=93In the 50's people helped one another,
In the 60's people strove with one another,
In the 70's people swindled one another,
In the 80's people cared only for themselves,
In the 90's people took advantage of anyone they ran into.=94
6. Military Seizure of Power, Monopolization of the Economy and=
Wild Political
and Economic Ambitions
The sole purpose of establishing the CCP was to seize power by=
armed force and
then to generate a system of state ownership in which the state=
held monopolies
in the planned economy. The CCP=92s wild ambition far surpasses=
that of the
ordinary evil cults who simply accumulate money.
In a country of socialist public ownership ruled by the Communist=
Party, Party
organizations that hold great power, that is, the Party=
committees and branches
at various levels, are imposed upon or possess the normal state=
infrastructure.
The possessing Party organizations control state machinery and=
draw funds
directly from the budgets of the governments at different levels.=
Like a
vampire, the CCP has sucked a huge amount of wealth from the=
nation.
******************
II. The Damage the CCP Cult Has Wrought
When incidents like Aum Shinri Kyo (Supreme Truth) killing people=
with sarin
nerve gas, the Solar Temple=92s ascending to heaven by suicide, or=
the mass
suicide of over 900 followers of Jim Jones=92 =93People=92s Temple=94 are=
mentioned,
everyone trembles with fear and outrage. The CCP is, however, an=
evil cult that
commits crimes a thousand times worse, harming countless lives.=
This is because
the CCP possesses the following unique features that ordinary=
cults lack.
The Evil Cult Became a State Religion
In most countries, if you do not follow a religion, you can still=
enjoy a happy
life without reading the literature or listening to the=
principles of that
religion. In mainland China, however, it is impossible for one to=
live there
without a constant exposure to the doctrines and propaganda of=
the CCP cult, as
the CCP has turned this evil cult into a state religion since its=
seizure of
power.
The CCP begins to instill its political preaching in as early as=
kindergarten
and elementary school. One cannot receive higher education or=
promotion to
higher office without passing the Political Examination. None of=
the questions
in the Political Examination allow independent thinking. Those=
taking the exams
are required to memorize the standard answers provided by the CCP=
in order to
pass. The unfortunate Chinese people are forced to repeat the=
CCP=92s preaching
even when they are young, brainwashing themselves over and over=
again. When a
cadre is promoted to a higher office in the government, whether=
he is a member
of the CCP or not, he has to attend the Party School. He won=92t be=
promoted until
he has met the requirements for graduation from the Party School.=
In China, where the Communist Party is the state religion, groups=
with different
opinions are not allowed to exist. Even the =93democratic parties,=94=
which are
merely set up by the CCP as a political screen, and the reformed=
=93Three-Self
Church=94 (i.e., self-administration, self-support and=
self-propagation) must
formally acknowledge the leadership of the CCP. Loyalty to the=
CCP is the first
priority before entertaining any other beliefs, according to the=
very cultish
logic of the CCP.
Social Controls Go to Extremes
This evil cult was able to become a state religion, because the=
CCP had complete
social controls and deprived individuals of freedom. This kind of=
control is
unprecedented, since the CCP deprived people of private property,=
while private
ownership is one foundation of freedom. Before the 1980=92s, people=
in urban areas
could only earn a living by working in Party-controlled=
enterprises. Farmers in
the rural areas had to live on the farm land belonging to the=
communes of the
Party. Nobody could escape the CCP=92s control. In a socialist=
country like China,
the Communist Party organizations are ubiquitous=97from the central=
government to
the most grass-roots levels of society, including villages and=
neighborhoods.
Through the Party committees and branches at all levels, the CCP=
maintains an
absolute control over society. Such strict control completely=
squelches
individual freedom=97the freedom of movement (residence=
registration system),
freedom of speech (500,000 rightists were persecuted in history=
because they
exercised free speech), freedom of thought (Lin Zhao and Zhang=
Zhixin [7] were
executed for having doubts about the CCP), and freedom to obtain=
information (it
is illegal to read forbidden books or listen to 'enemies=92 radio=
stations=94;
Internet browsing is monitored as well.)
One might say that private ownership is allowed now by the CCP,=
but we should
not forget that this policy of reform and openness only came=
about when
socialism reached a point where people did not have enough to eat=
and the
national economy was on the brink of collapse. The CCP had to=
take a step back
in order to save itself from destruction. Nevertheless, even=
after the reform
and opening, the CCP has never relaxed its control over the=
people. The ongoing
brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners could have only=
occurred in a
country controlled by the Communist Party. When the CCP became an=
economic
force, it was inevitable that the CCP would intensify its control=
over the
Chinese people.
Advocating Violence and Despising Life
Almost all evil cults control their followers or resist external=
pressure
through violence. However, few have resorted to the extent the=
CCP has to
violent means without compunction. Even the total number of=
deaths caused by all
other evil cults across the world cannot compare to the number of=
people killed
by the CCP. The CCP cult sees humanity as merely a means to=
realize its goal;
killing is just another means. Thus, the CCP has no reservations=
and scruples in
persecuting people. Anyone, including supporters, members and=
leaders of the
CCP, can become a target of its persecution.
The CCP fostered the Cambodian Khmer Rouge, a typical case of the=
Communist
Party=92s brutality and disregard for life. Inspired and guided by=
Mao Zedong=92s
teaching, during its reign of three years and eight months, the=
Pol Pot-led
Cambodian Communist Party slaughtered two million people=97about=
one-fourth of
this small country=92s entire population=97in order to =93eliminate the=
system of
private ownership.=94 Out of the total number of deaths, more than=
200,000 were of
Chinese ethnicity.
To commemorate the crimes committed by the Communist Party and=
memorialize the
victims, Cambodia set up a museum for documenting and exhibiting=
the atrocities
of the Khmer Rouge. The museum is in a former Khmer Rouge prison.=
Originally a
high school, the building was transformed by Pol Pot to the S-21=
Prison, which
was used specifically for dealing with prisoners of conscience.=
Many
intellectuals were detained there and tortured to death.=
Displayed along with
the prison buildings and various torture instruments are also the=
black and
white photos of the victims before they were put to death. There=
are many
horrible tortures documented: throats cut, brains drilled,=
infants thrown to the
ground and killed, etc. All these torture methods were reportedly=
taught by the
=93experts and technical professionals=94 that the CCP dispatched in=
support of the
Khmer Rouge. The CCP even trained the photographers, who=
specialized in taking
pictures, whether for documentation or entertainment, of the=
prisoners before
they were executed.
Precisely in this S-21 Prison a head-drilling machine was devised=
to extract the
human brains for making nutritious foods for the leaders of the=
Cambodian
Communist Party. The prisoners of conscience were tied to a chair=
in front of
the head-drilling machine. The victim would be extremely=
terrified, as a rapidly
turning drill bit punctured the head from behind and quickly and=
effectively
extracted the brains before the victim died.
******************
III. The Communist Party=92s Cult Nature
What makes the Communist Party so tyrannical and so evil? When=
this specter of
the Communist Party came to this world, it came with a chilling=
mission. The
Communist Manifesto has a very famous passage towards the end,
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They=
openly declare that
their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all=
existing social
conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic=
revolution. The
proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a=
world to win.
The mission of this specter was to use violence to openly=
challenge the human
society, to smash the old world, =93to eliminate private=
ownership,=94 =93to eliminate
the character, independence and freedom of the bourgeoisie,=94 to=
eliminate
exploitation, to eliminate families, and to let the proletarians=
govern the
world.
This political party, which openly announced the desire to =93beat,=
smash and
rob,=94 not only denies its point of view to be evil, but also=
declared
self-righteously in the Communist Manifesto, =93The Communist=
revolution is the
most radical rupture with traditional relations; no wonder that=
its development
involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.=94
Where do the traditional thoughts come from? According to the=
atheist=92s law of
nature, the traditional thoughts come naturally from the laws of=
nature and the
society. They are the results of systematic movements of the=
cosmos. According
to those who believe in God, however, the human traditions and=
moral values are
given by God. Regardless of their origin, the most fundamental=
human morality,
behavioral norms, and standards of judging good and bad are=
relatively stable;
they have been the basis for regulating human behavior and=
maintaining social
order for thousands of years. If mankind lost the moral norms and=
standards for
judging good and bad, wouldn=92t humans degenerate into animals?=
When the
Communist Manifesto declares it will =93fundamentally rupture with=
traditional
ideas,=94 it threatens the basis for the normal existence of human=
society. The
Communist Party was bound to become an evil cult that brings=
destruction to
mankind.
The entire document of Communist Manifesto, which sets forth the=
guiding
principles for the communist party, is permeated with extreme=
pronouncements but
not a bit of kindness and tolerance. Marx and Engels thought they=
had found the
law of social development through dialectic materialism. Hence,=
with the "truth"
in hand, they questioned everything and denied everything. They=
stubbornly
imposed the illusionary Communism on the people and did not hold=
back in
advocating the use of violence to destroy existing social=
structures and
cultural foundations. The evil specter the Communist Manifesto=
injected into the
newborn Communist Party is against the laws of heaven, damaging=
to human nature,
arrogant, extremely selfish and totally unconstrained.
******************
IV. The Communist Party=92s Doomsday Theory=97the Fear of the Party=
Ending
Marx and Engels injected an evil specter into the Communist=
Party. Lenin
established the Communist Party in Russia and, through the=
scoundrels=92 violence,
he overthrew the transitional government built after the February=
Revolution,
[8] aborted the bourgeois revolution in Russia, took over the=
government, and
obtained a foothold for the Communist cult. However, Lenin=92s=
success did not
make the proletarians win the world. Just the contrary, as the=
first paragraph
in the Communist Manifesto says, =93All the powers of old Europe=
have entered into
a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre...=94 After the Communist=
Party was born,
it immediately faced the crisis of its survival and feared=
elimination at
anytime.
After the October Revolution [9], the Russian Communists, or=
Bolsheviks, did not
bring the people peace or bread, but only wanton killing. The=
front line was
losing the war and the revolution worsened the economy in the=
society. Hence,
the people started to rebel. Civil war quickly spread to the=
entire nation and
the farmers refused to provide food to the cities. A full-scale=
riot originated
among the Cossacks near the River Don; its battle with the Red=
Army brought
brutal bloodshed. The barbaric and brutal nature of the slaughter=
that took
place in this battle can be seen from the literature such as=
Sholokhov=92s =93Tikhii
Don=94 and his other Don River story collections. The troops, lead=
by the former
White Army Admiral Aleksandr Vailiyevich Kolchak and General=
Anton Denikin,
almost overthrew the Russian Communist Party at one point. Even=
as a newborn
political power, the Communist party was opposed by almost the=
entire nation,
perhaps because the Communist cult was too evil to win the=
people=92s hearts.
The experience of the Chinese Communist Party was similar to=
Russia=92s. From the
=93Mari Incident=94 and =93April 12th Massacre,=94[10] to being=
suppressed five times in
areas controlled by the Chinese Communists, and eventually to=
being forced to
undertake a 25,000-kilometer (15,600 miles) =93Long March=94 =97 the=
CCP always faced
the crisis of being eliminated.
The Communist Party was born with the determination to destroy=
the old world by
all means. It then found itself having to face a real problem:=
how to survive
without being eliminated. The Communist Party has been living in=
a constant fear
of its own demise. To survive has become the Communist cult=92s top=
concern, its
all-consuming focus. With the international Communist alliance in=
disarray, the
CCP=92s crisis of survival has worsened. Since 1989, its fear of=
its own doomsday
has become more real as its demise has come nearer.
******************
V. The Treasured Weapon for the Communist Cult=92s Survival=97Brutal=
Struggle
The Communist Party has constantly emphasized iron discipline,=
absolute loyalty,
and organizational principles. Those who join the CCP must swear,=
=93I wish to join the Chinese Communist Party, to support the=
Party=92s
constitution, follow the Party=92s regulations, fulfill the=
member=92s obligations,
execute the Party=92s decisions, strictly follow the Party=92s=
disciplines, keep the
Party=92s secrets, be loyal to the Party, work diligently, dedicate=
my whole life
to Communism, stand ready to sacrifice everything for the Party=
and the people,
and never betray the Party.=94 (See the CCP Constitution, Chapter=
One, Article
Six)
The CCP calls this spirit of cult-like devotion to the Party the=
"sense of Party
nature.=94 It asks a CCP member to be ready anytime to give up all=
personal
beliefs and principles and to obey absolutely the Party=92s will=
and the leader=92s
will. If the Party wants you to be kind, then you should be kind;=
if the Party
wants you to do evil, then you should do evil. Otherwise you=
would not meet the
standard of being a Party member, having not shown a strong=
=93sense of Party
nature.=94
Mao Zedong said, =93Marxist philosophy is a philosophy of=
struggle.=94 To foster and
maintain the =93sense of Party nature,=94 the CCP relies on the=
mechanism of
periodical struggles within the Party. Through continuously=
mobilizing brutal
struggles inside and outside the Party, the CCP has eliminated=
dissidents and
created the red terror. At the same time, the CCP continuously=
purges Party
members, makes its cult-type rules stricter, and fosters members=92=
aptitude
towards the =93Party nature=94 to enhance the Party=92s fighting=
capacity. This is a
treasured weapon the CP uses to prolong its survival.
Among CCP leaders, Mao Zedong was the most adept at mastering=
this treasured
weapon of brutal struggle within the Party. The brutality of such=
a struggle and
the malevolence of its methods began as early as the 1930's in=
areas controlled
by the Chinese Communists, the so-called =93Soviet Area.=94
In 1930, Mao Zedong initiated a full-scale revolutionary terror=
in the Soviet
Area in Jiangxi Province, known as the cleansing of=
Anti-Bolshevik Corps, or the
AB Corps. Thousands of Red Army soldiers, Party and League=
members and civilians
in the Communist bases were brutally murdered. The incident was=
caused by Mao=92s
despotic control. After Mao established the Soviet Area in=
Jiangxi, he was soon
challenged by the local Red Army and Party organizations in=
southwest Jiangxi
led by Li Wenlin. Mao could not stand any organized oppositional=
force right
under his nose and he used the most extreme methods to suppress=
the Party
members he suspected of being dissidents. To create a stern=
atmosphere for the
cleansing, Mao did not hesitate to start with troops under his=
direct control.
From late November to mid December, the First Front Red Army went=
through a
=93quick cleaning.=94 Organizations for purging=
counterrevolutionaries were
established at every single level in the army, including=
division, regiment,
battalion, company, and platoon, arresting and killing Party=
members who were
from families of landlords or rich farmers and those who had=
complaints. In less
than one month, among more than 40,000 Red Army soldiers, 4,400=
were named as AB
Corps elements, including more than 10 captains (the AB Corps=
captains); all of
them were executed. [3]
In the following period, Mao began to punish those dissidents in=
the Soviet
Area. In December 1930, he ordered Li Shaojiu, Secretary General=
of General
Political Department of the First Front Red Army and Chairman of=
Purge Committee
to represent the General Frontier Committee and go to the town of=
Futian in
Jiangxi Province where the Communist government is located. Li=
Shaojiu arrested
members of the Provincial Action Committee and eight chief=
leaders of the 20th
Red Army, including Duan Liangbi and Li Baifang. He used many=
cruel torture
methods such as beating and burning the body - people who were=
tortured like
this had injuries all over their bodies, fingers fractured, burns=
all over and
could not move. According to historical materials, the victims=92=
cries were so
loud as to pierce the sky; the cruel torture methods were=
extremely inhumane.
[3]
On December 8, the wives of Li Baifang, Ma Ming and Zhou Mian=
went to visit
their husbands in detention, but they were also arrested as=
members of the AB
Corps and cruelly tortured. They were severely beaten, their=
bodies and vulvae
burned and breasts cut with knives. Under the cruel torture, Duan=
Liangbi
confessed that Li Wenlin, Jin Wanbang, Liu Di, Zhou Mian, Ma Ming=
and others
were leaders of the AB Corps and that there were many members of=
AB Corps in the
Red Army=92s schools. [3]
From December 7 to the evening of December 12, in merely five=
days, Li Shaojiu
and others arrested more than 120 alleged AB Corps members and=
dozens of
principal counter-revolutionaries in the severe AB Corps=
cleansing in Futian;
more than 40 people were executed. Li Shaojiu=92s cruel acts=
finally triggered the
=93Futian Incident=94 [11] on December 12, 1930 that highly astounded=
the Soviet
Area. [3]
From the Soviet Area to Yan=92an, Mao relied on his theory and=
practice of
struggle and gradually sought and established his absolute=
leadership of the
Party. After the CCP came to power in 1949, Mao continued to=
reply on this kind
of inner-party struggle. For example, in the eighth plenum of the=
Eighth CCP
Central Committee meeting held in Lushan in 1959, Mao Zedong=
launched a sudden
attack on Peng Dehuai and removed him from his position [12]. All=
of the central
leaders who attended the conference were asked to take a stand;=
the few who
dared to express different opinions were all labeled the Peng=
Dehuai antiparty
bloc. During the Cultural Revolution, the veteran cadres at the=
CCP=92s Central
Committee were punished one after another, but all of them gave=
in without
putting up a fight. Who would dare to speak a word against Mao=
Zedong? The CCP
has always emphasized iron discipline, loyalty to the Party, and=
organizational
principles, requiring absolute obedience to the hierarchy=92s=
leader. This kind of
party nature has been engrained in the continuous political=
struggles.
Li Lisan, once a CCP leader, was driven to the end of his rope=
during the
Cultural Revolution. At 68 years of age, he was interrogated on=
average seven
times per month. His wife Li Sha was treated as the "Soviet=
revisionist" spy,
and had already been sent to jail; her whereabouts were unknown.=
With no other
choice and in extreme despair, Li committed suicide by swallowing=
a large
quantity of sleeping pills. Before his death, Li Lisan wrote a=
letter to Mao
Zedong, truly reflecting the "sense of Party nature,=94 according=
to which a CCP
member does not dare to give up, even on the verge of death:
Chairman,
I am now stepping onto the path of betraying the Party by=
committing suicide,
and have no means to defend my crime. Only one thing, that is, my=
entire family
and I have never collaborated with enemy states. Only on this=
issue, I request
the central government to investigate and examine the facts and=
draw conclusions
based on truth...
Li Lisan
June 22, 1967 [13]
While Mao Zedong's philosophy of struggle eventually dragged=
China into an
unprecedented catastrophe, this kind of political campaign and=
the inner-party
struggle, which is widespread once "every seven or eight years,=94=
have ensured
the survival of the CCP. Every time there was a campaign, a=
minority of five
percent would be persecuted, and the remaining 95 percent would=
be brought to an
obedient adherence to the Party=92s basic line, thereby enhancing=
the Party
organization's cohesive force and destructive capacity. These=
struggles also
eliminated those "faltering" members who were not willing to give=
up their
conscience, and attacked any force that dared to resist. Through=
this mechanism
of struggle, those CCP members who have the greatest desire for=
struggle and are
best at using the methods of hoodlums have gained control. The=
CCP cult leaders
are all fearless people rich in the experience of struggle and=
full of the Party
spirit. Such brutal struggle also gives those who have=
experienced it a "blood
lesson" and violent brainwashing. At the same time, it=
continuously energizes
the CCP, further strengthening its desire for struggle, ensuring=
its survival,
and preventing it from becoming a temperate group that gives up=
the struggle.
This kind of party nature required by the CCP has come precisely=
from the CCP's
cult nature. In order to realize its goal, the CCP is determined=
to break away
from all traditional principles, and use all means to fight=
unhesitatingly with
any force that hinders it. Therefore it needs to train and=
enslave all its
members to become the Party=92s heartless, unjust and faithless=
tool. This nature
of the CCP originates from its hatred toward human society and=
traditions, its
delusional self-evaluation, and its extreme selfishness and=
contempt for other
people=92s lives. In order to achieve its so-called ideal, the CCP=
used violence
at all costs to smash the world and eliminate all dissidents.=
Such an evil cult
would meet with opposition from people of conscience, so it must=
eliminate
people's conscience and benevolent thoughts to make people=
believe in its evil
doctrine. Therefore, in order to ensure its survival, the CCP=
first of all must
destroy people's conscience, benevolent thoughts and moral=
standards, turning
people into tame slaves and tools. According to the CCP's logic,=
the Party's
life and interest override everything else; they even override=
the collective
interest of all Party members, thus any individual Party member=
must be prepared
to sacrifice for the Party.
Looking at the CCP's history, individuals who retained the=
mindset of
traditional intellectuals like Chen Duxiu and Qu Qiubai, or who=
still cared
about people=92s interests like Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang, or who=
are determined
to be clean officials and bring real service to the people such=
as Zhu Rongji=97no
matter how much they contributed to the Party, and no matter how=
devoid of
personal ambitions they were, they were inevitably purged, cast=
aside, or
restricted by the Party's interests and discipline.
The sense of Party nature or the aptitude for the Party that was=
fostered in
their bones over many years of struggle often made them=
compromise and surrender
in critical moments, because in their subconscious, the Party's=
survival is the
highest interest. They would rather sacrifice themselves and=
watch the evil
force within the Party commit murder, than challenge the Party=92s=
survival with
their conscientious and compassionate thoughts. This is precisely=
the result of
the CCP's mechanism of struggle: it turns good people into tools=
that it uses,
and uses the Party nature to limit and even eliminate human=
conscience to the
greatest extent. Dozens of the CCP=92s "line struggles" brought=
down more than 10
top-level Party leaders or designated successors; none of the top=
Party leaders
came to a good end. Although Mao Zedong had been the king for 43=
years, shortly
after he died, his wife and nephew were put in jail, which was=
cheered by the
entire Party as a great victory of Maoism. Is this a comedy or a=
farce?
After the CCP seized political power, there were unceasing=
political campaigns,
from inner-party fights to struggles outside the Party. This was=
the case during
the Mao Zedong era, and is still the case in the post-Mao era of=
"reform and
openness.=94 In the 1980's, when people just began to have a slight=
bit of freedom
in their thinking, the CCP launched the campaign of "Opposition=
to Bourgeois
Liberalization," and proposed "the Four Fundamental Principles"=
[14] in order to
maintain its absolute leadership. In 1989, the students who=
peacefully asked for
democracy were bloodily suppressed because the CCP does not allow=
democratic
aspirations. The 1990's witnessed a rapid increase in Falun Gong=
practitioners
who believe in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, but they=
were met with
genocidal persecution beginning in 1999, because the CCP cannot=
tolerate human
nature and benevolent thoughts. It must use violence to destroy=
people=92s
conscience and ensure its own power. Since entering the 21st=
century, the
Internet has connected the world together, but the CCP has spent=
great sums of
money in setting up network blockades to trap online liberals,=
because the CCP
greatly fears people freely obtaining information.
******************
VI. The Degeneration of the Evil Cult of the CCP
The CCP evil cult essentially rules in opposition to human nature=
and the
principles of heaven. The CCP is known for its arrogance,=
self-importance,
selfishness, and brutal, unrestrained acts. It consistently=
brings disasters to
the country and the people, yet it never admits its mistakes, and=
would never
reveal its true nature to the people. The CCP has never hesitated=
to change its
slogans and labels, which are regarded by the CCP as the means to=
maintain its
control. It will do anything to keep in power with total=
disregard for morality,
justice and human life.
The institutionalization and socialization of this evil cult are=
bound to lead
to its collapse. As a result of the centralization of power,=
public opinion has
been silenced and all possible monitoring mechanisms have been=
destroyed,
leaving no force to stop the CCP from sliding into corruption and=
disintegration
Today=92s CCP has become the largest ruling =93party of embezzlement=
and corruption=94
in the world. According to official statistics in China, among=
the 20 million
officials, officers or cadres in the Party or government over the=
past 20 years,
eight million have been found guilty of corruption and=
disciplined or punished
based on party or government regulations. If the unidentified=
corrupt officials
are also taken into account, the corrupt party and government=
officials are
estimated to be at over two thirds, only a small portion of whom=
have been
investigated and exposed.
Securing material benefits by means of corruption and extortion=
has become the
strongest coherent force for the unity of the CCP today. The=
corrupt officials
know that without the CCP, they would have no opportunity to=
connive for
personal gain, and if the CCP falls, they would not only lose=
their power and
position, but also face investigation. In Heaven=92s Wrath, a novel=
that exposes
behind-the-scenes dealings of the CCP officials, the author Chen=
Fang spelled
out the CCP=92s top secret using the mouth of Hao Xiangshou, a=
deputy director of
a municipal CCP office, =93corruption has stabilized our political=
power.=94
The Chinese people see it clearly, =93if we fight corruption, the=
party will fall;
if we do not fight corruption, the nation will perish.=94 The CCP,=
however, will
not risk its own doom to fight corruption. What it will do is to=
kill a few
corrupt individuals as a token sacrifice for the sake of its=
image. This
prolongs its life for a few more years at the expense of a small=
number of
corrupt elements. Today, the only goals of the CCP evil cult are=
to keep its
power and steer clear from its demise.
In today=92s China, ethics and morality have degenerated beyond=
recognition.
Shoddy products, prostitutes, drugs, conspiracies between=
officials and gangs,
organized crime syndicates, gambling, bribery=97corruption of every=
kind is
prevalent. The CCP has largely ignored such moral decay, while=
many high ranking
officials are the bosses in the back room who are extorting=
protection fees from
people who are afraid. Cai Shaoqing, an expert studying mafia and=
crime
organizations at Nanjing University, estimates that the number of=
organized
crime members in China totals at least one million. Each=
syndicate figure
captured always exposes some behind=96the-scenes corrupt Communists=
who are
government officials, judges, or police.
The CCP is afraid the Chinese people might gain a sense of=
conscience and
morality, so it does not dare to allow the people to have faith=
in religion or
freedom of thought. It uses all its resources to persecute the=
good people who
have faith, such as the underground Christians who believe in=
Jesus and God and
the Falun Gong practitioners who seek to be Truthful,=
Compassionate and
Tolerant. The CCP is afraid that democracy would end its=
one-party rule, so it
does not dare to give people political freedom. It acts swiftly=
to imprison
independent liberals and civil rights activists. It does,=
however, give people a
deviated freedom. As long as you do not care about politics and=
do not oppose
the CCP=92s leadership, you may let your desires go in any way you=
want, even if
it means you do wicked, unethical things. As a result the CCP=
deteriorates
dramatically and social morality in China experiences an=
alarmingly sharp
decline.
=93Blocking the road to heaven and opening the gate to hell=94 best=
describes how
the evil cult of the CCP has devastated the Chinese society=
today.
******************
VII. Reflections on the Evil Rule of the CCP
What Is the Communist Party?
This seemingly simple question has no simple answers. Under the=
pretense of
being =93for the public=94 and in the guise of a political party, the=
Communist
Party has indeed deceived millions of people. And yet it is not a=
political
party in the ordinary sense, but a harmful and evil cult=
possessed by an evil
specter. The Communist Party is a living being who manifests in=
this world
through the Party organizations. What truly controls the=
Communist Party is the
evil specter that first entered it, and it is that evil specter=
that determines
the evil nature of the Communist Party.
The leaders of the Communist Party, while acting as the gurus of=
the cult, serve
only as the mouthpiece of the evil specter and the Party. When=
their will and
purpose are in line with the Party and can be used by it, they=
will be chosen as
leaders. But when they can no longer meet the needs of the Party,=
they will be
ruthlessly overthrown. The mechanism of struggle of the Party=
makes sure that
only the craftiest, the most evil, and the toughest ones will=
hold steadily to
the position of guru of the Communist Party. A dozen or so=
ranking party leaders
have fallen from grace, which proves the truth of this argument.=
In fact, the
top leaders of the Party are walking on a very narrow tight rope.=
They can
either break away from the Party line and leave a good name in=
history, as
Gorbachev did or be victimized by the Party like many general=
secretaries of the
Party.
The people are the targets of the Party=92s enslavement and=
oppression. Under the
Party=92s rule, people have no rights to reject the Party. Instead,=
they are
forced to accept the Party=92s leadership and fulfill the=
obligation to sustain
the Party. They are also subjected to regular cult type=
brainwashing under the
threat of coercion from the Party. The CCP forces the whole=
nation to believe in
and sustain this evil cult. This is rarely seen in the world=
today, and we have
to recognize the CCP=92s unmatchable skill in such oppression.
The party members are a physical mass that has been used to fill=
up the body of
the Party. Many among them are honest and kind, and may even be=
quite
accomplished in their public life. These are the people the CCP=
likes to
recruit, since their reputation and competence may used to serve=
the Party. Many
others, out of their desire to become an official and enjoy a=
higher social
status, would work hard to join the Party and aid the evil being.=
There are also
those who chose to join the Party because they want to accomplish=
something in
their lives and realized that under the Communist rule they could=
not do so
unless they joined the Party. Some joined the Party because they=
wanted the
allocation of an apartment or simply wanted a better image. Thus=
among the tens
of millions of Party members, there are both good and bad people.=
Regardless of
motives, once you swear your allegiance in front of the Party=92s=
flag, willingly
or otherwise, that means you have voluntarily devoted yourself to=
the Party. You
will then go through the brainwashing process by participating in=
the weekly
political studies. A significant number of Party members will=
have little if any
of their own thoughts left and would be easily controlled by the=
evil specter of
the CCP host body as a result of the indoctrination by the Party.=
These people
will function within the Party like the cells of a human body,=
and work non-stop
for the Party=92s existence, even though they themselves are also=
part of the
population enslaved by the Party. Sadder still, after the bondage=
of the =93party
nature=94 is imposed on you, it becomes very hard to take it off.=
Once you show
your human side, you will be purged or persecuted. You cannot=
withdraw from the
Party on your own even if you want to, for the Party, with its=
entrance-yes and
exit-no policy, would regard you as a traitor. That is why people=
often reveal a
dual-nature: in their political life the nature of the Communist=
Party, and in
their daily life human nature.
The Party cadres are a group that retains power among Party=
members. Though they
may have choices between good and bad and make their own=
decisions on specific
occasions, at specific times, and specific events, they, as a=
whole, have to
follow the will of the Party. The mandate dictates =93the whole=
Party obeys the
Central Committee.=94 The Party cadres are the leaders at different=
levels; they
are the Party=92s backbones. They too are merely tools for the=
Party. They, too,
have been deceived, used and victimized during the past political=
movements. The
CCP=92s underlying criterion is to test whether you are following=
the right guru
and are sincere in your devotion.
Why Do People Remain Unaware?
The CCP has acted viciously and wickedly throughout its more than=
50-year rule
over China. But why do the Chinese people lack a realistic=
understanding of the
CCP=92s evil nature? Is it because the Chinese are dumb? No. The=
Chinese
constitute one of the wisest nations in the world and boast a=
rich traditional
culture and heritage of 5000 years. Yet the Chinese people are=
still living
under the CCP=92s rule, completely afraid of expressing their=
discontent. The key
lies in the mind-control practiced by the CCP.
If the Chinese people enjoyed freedom of expression and could=
debate openly the
merits and demerits of the CCP, we could imagine the Chinese=
would have long ago
seen through the evil nature of the CCP and freed themselves from=
the influence
of this evil cult. Unfortunately, the Chinese people lost their=
freedom of
expression and thought over half a century ago with the advent of=
the CCP=92s
rule. The purpose behind persecution of the rightists among the=
intellectuals in
1957 was to restrain free expression and to control people=92s=
minds. In a society
so lacking fundamental freedoms, most of the youth who had=
wholeheartedly
studied the works of Marx and Engels during the Cultural=
Revolution have
ironically been labeled as an =93anti-Party clique=94 and are=
subsequently
persecuted. Discussing the CCP=92s rights and wrongs was simply out=
of the
question.
Not many Chinese would even dare to think of calling the CCP an=
evil cult.
However, were that assertion made, those who have lived in China=
would not find
it hard to discover strong evidence supporting the argument, from=
both their own
experience and those of their family and friends.
The Chinese people have not only been deprived of freedom of=
thought, they have
also been indoctrinated with the teachings and culture of the=
Party. Thus, all
that people could hear have been the praises of the Party, and=
their minds have
been impoverished of any thought other than ideas that reinforce=
the CCP. Take
the Tiananmen Massacre for example. When shots were fired on June=
4th, 1989,
many people instinctively ran to hide in the bushes. Moments=
later, despite the
risks, they came bravely out of hiding and sang =93The=
Internationale=94 together.
These Chinese were indeed courageous, innocent and respectable,=
yet why did they
sing =93The Internationale,=94 the Communist anthem, when confronted=
with the
Communist killing? The reason is simple. Educated in the Party=92s=
culture, all
the pitiable people know is Communism. Those in Tiananmen Square=
did not know
any other songs than =93The Internationale=94 and a few more ones=
that praise the
Communist Party.
What Is the Way Out?
The CCP has been moving towards its complete doom. Sadly, it is=
still trying to
tie its fate to the Chinese nation before its demise.
The dying CCP is apparently weakening and its control over=
people=92s minds is
loosening. With the advance of telecommunications and the=
Internet, the CCP is
finding it difficult to control information and suppress=
expression. As the
corrupt officials increasingly plunder and oppress the people,=
the public is
beginning to wake up from their illusions about the CCP, and many=
of them have
started to exercise civil disobedience. The CCP has not only=
failed to achieve
its goal of increased ideological control in its persecution of=
Falun Gong, but
also further weakened itself while revealing its absolute=
ruthlessness. This
opportune moment has made people reconsider the CCP, paving the=
way for the
Chinese nation to free itself from the ideological bondage and=
completely break
away from the control of the Communist evil specter.
Having lived under the evil rule of the CCP for over 50 years,=
the Chinese
people do not need a violent revolution; rather, they need=
redemption of their
souls. This can be achieved through self-help, and the first step=
towards that
goal is to become aware of the evil nature of the CCP.
The day will come when people cast aside the Party=92s=
organizations that are
attached to the state apparatus, allowing the social systems to=
function
independently, backed up by the core forces of the society. With=
the passing of
a dictatorial Party organization, the efficiency of the=
government will be
improved and enhanced. And that day is right around the corner.=
In fact, as
early as the 1980's, the reformers inside the Party advocated the=
idea of
=93separating the Party from the government,=94 in an attempt to=
exclude the Party
from the government. The reform efforts from within the CCP have=
proven to be
inadequate and unsuccessful when the notion of =93the absolute=
leadership of the
Party=94 is not totally rejected ideologically.
The Party culture is the environment necessary for the survival=
of the communist
evil cult. Removing the CCP=92s possession of people=92s minds may=
prove to be more
difficult than clearing out the CCP=92s possession of state=
administrations, but
such a removal is the only way to truly uproot the evil of=
Communism. This can
be achieved only through the efforts of the Chinese people=
themselves. With
their minds set right and human nature returned to its original=
state, the
public would regain its morality and succeed in a transition to a=
decent
non-Communist society. The cure for this evil possession lies in=
the recognition
of the evil specter=92s nature and harmfulness, eradicating it from=
people=92s
minds, and clearing it out, so that it has no place to hide. The=
Communist Party
stresses ideological control, since it is nothing but an ideology=
itself. That
ideology will dissipate when all Chinese reject the Communist=
falsehood in their
minds, actively wipe out the Party culture, and rid their own=
mentalities and
lives of the influences from the communist evil cult. As people=
save themselves,
the CCP will disintegrate.
Nations ruled by Communists are associated with poverty,=
totalitarianism, and
persecution. There are very few such nations left, including=
China, North Korea,
Vietnam, and Cuba. Their days are numbered.
With the wisdom of the Chinese people, backed by the inspiration=
of the
historical glory of the Chinese nation, a China freed from the=
evil possession
of communism will be a promising nation.
******************
Conclusion
The CCP no longer believes in communism. Its soul has died, but=
its shadow
remains. It has inherited only the =91skin=92 of communism, but still=
manifests the
nature of an evil cult: arrogance, conceit and selfishness, and=
indulgence in
wanton destructiveness. The CCP has inherited the Communist=
denial of the law of
heaven, and its rejection of human nature has remained unchanged.=
Today, the CCP continues to rule China with the methods of=
struggle mastered
over the years, using its close-knit organizational system=
coupled with the
ruling form of =93Party possession,=94 as well as evil propaganda=
that functions as
a state-religion. The six features of the Communist Party=
outlined previously
place today=92s CCP firmly within the definition of an =93evil cult=92:=
it does no
good, only evil.
As it nears death, this Communist evil cult is accelerating the=
pace of its
corruption and degeneration. What is most troublesome is that it=
is stubbornly
doing what it can to take the Chinese nation with it into an=
abyss of corruption
and degeneration.
The Chinese need to help themselves; they need to reflect, and=
they need to
shake off the CCP.
