— The last mile to end communism in the world
Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen,
As the representative of the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party, I am honored to be here. Today, I’d like to talk to you about the quitting the Chinese Communist Party movement. I will cover five topics: the what, how and why aspects of the movement, followed by the CCP’s reaction, and conclude with what you can do about the movement. So let’s start.
First, what is the quitting the CCP movement?
In a nutshell, it is a grassroots movement in which anyone who wishes to renounce his or her association to the CCP organizations can express their desire via phone, fax, or internet to the overseas “quit the CCP” website, where a total number of renunciations are tallied. Of course, there are people in mainland China who do not have access to the aforementioned means but wish to quit the CCP, they can simply post a “I want to quit the CCP” note somewhere in public. As long as it is the decision from the bottom of one’s heart, how it is declared does not matter much. However, the internet tallied number does give us a rough measurement of how widely spread this movement has become.
Secondly, let me to talk to you briefly about how this movement came into being.
In November 2004, the most widely distributed Chinese language newspaper around the world the Epoch Times published the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.” For the first time, Communism was turned inside out, its lies disclosed, its cultic nature revealed, its crimes exposed. The book includes large amount of historical facts previously unknown to the world due to the CCP’s information blockade. With its logic, rationality and wisdom, the “Nine Commentaries” passes a final judgment on the CCP and calls for those who are, I quote from the book, “still deceived by the CCP to see its nature, purge its poison from their spirits, extricate their minds from its evil control, free themselves from the shackles of terror, and abandon for good all illusions about it.” unquote.
Immediately after its publication, the “Nine Commentaries” became very popular and triggered a massive wave of renouncing the CCP among Chinese people in mainland China and overseas. In Jan. 2005, 50 Chinese scholars declared to quit the CCP in public. In Feb. 2005, the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP was established. Since then, the volunteers of over 100 Service Centers around the world have been processing over 50,000 renunciations per day. By Sept. 2010, a total of 80 million renunciations have been recorded. In the meantime, the “Nine Commentaries” is translated into over 30 languages and has gained enthusiastic support from the international community.
Now, you might wonder about the purpose of quitting the CCP movement. Let me explain this in the third part of my speech.
Most importantly, I wish to point out that instead of being a political movement aimed at bringing down the CCP, the essence of quitting the CCP lies in the spiritual revolution in each individual. There is no causality between the quitting the CCP movement and the demise of the CCP. Why? The CCP is now facing the consequences of its own tyrannical rule over the past sixty years in China. Domestically speaking, it is facing declining morality, frequent uprisings, high unemployment rate, corrupted political system, and endangered ecosystem; internationally speaking, the CCP is facing a multitude of condemnations, including that of its shameful human rights record. Here, I quote the “Nine Commentaries” again: “the CCP is like a rotten, withered tree. It will collapse by itself in a gust of wind.” Unquote. And this is why there is no direct relationship between the movement and the demise of the CCP.
However, the damage the CCP has inflicted upon mankind is not only manifested in the political party, but also in the deeper, spiritual side of people’s mind. The Communism ideology that was instilled in people’s mind will not be easily wiped out when the Party collapses. The CCP knows better than anyone else its final destiny. Intrinsically, it would not exit the historical stage without pulling down with it as many innocent people as possible. As long as someone still has the Communism ideology in mind, he or she will be eliminated together with the CCP. Therefore, regardless of when and how the CCP collapses, the real concern is what should be done to protect the innocent people from becoming CCP’s victims? This is not a political issue, but rather a spiritual issue. And the solution is the quitting the CCP movement.
To summarize, the purpose of the quitting the CCP movement is to help people get rid of the Communist ideology, culture and way of being from their minds. This is a movement of spiritual awakening that saves a person on the spiritual level. Of course, with this wide spread movement, the demise of the CCP will come sooner than later.
With that said, let’s examine today’s fourth topic which is the CCP’s reaction to the movement.
Since its birth about 80 years ago, the CCP’s top concern is its survival due to its lack of legitimacy. Living in the constant fear of being eliminated, the CCP is extremely scared at the quitting the CCP movement. Since the publication of the “Nine Commentaries”, the CCP who is the master in defamation has not publically uttered a word against the book. But behind the scenes, it has been in a wild chase of those who distribute the book and spread the word of the quitting the CCP movement both inside and outside China.
Additionally, it is staging multiple political cleansing or renewing movements among the Party members. Such as the party rectification movement, the renewal of the oath to join the CCP, the re-education to maintain the so-called “advanced nature” of the Party members, the intensive training of Party chiefs, Party secretaries and public security bureau officers on all levels.
Moreover, its Central Military Commission has issued a military contingency plan for handling general emergencies. The June 4th student movement was considered one of these so-called general emergencies. The CCP has also implemented extremely tight control of the ID cards, telephone number registration system, even a tighter rule to purchase train tickets. Not to mention the ever growing cyber police force to maintain the Chinese Berlin Wall of information blockade.
The CCP has been allocating more budgets for domestic stability than its defense budget. Which ruling party is so afraid of its own people? A Chinese saying goes, the water can float a boat, but also sink a boat. All these evidence show that the CCP is trembling from its core, that it is extremely afraid of the grassroots movement of quitting the CCP.
I could elaborate more on this topic if I had enough time. I hope you can get a feel on the magnitude of the movement by now.
So, let’s move on to the final topic which is: What you can do about the quitting the CCP movement?
At this turning point in history, the quitting the CCP movement is paving the road towards a peaceful transition into a better future for China and the entire mankind. The spiritual awakening of the people is quantified into a number which is increasing by tens of thousands each day. Support and praises of the movement has been coming in from all corners of the world. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to those of you who have expressed your support in many ways or forms during the past years. Whether it is verbal or written statement, legislative support, or financial sponsorship, please continue your effort and help spread the Nine Commentaries. The people in the former USSR, Poland and Eastern Europe started the elimination of Communism, now it is up to you and me to join this unstoppable tide towards a material and spiritual world without Communism. Please show your support for the quitting the CCP movement. Your righteousness will be rewarded when history finally turns its page.
I would like to end my speech by recalling the scene on Nov. 10, 2009 when the 20th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall was held. An array of giant dominos was toppled along the original route of the Berlin Wall. When the cascade of collapsing dominos reached the last one which was adorned with Chinese characters, however, it did not fall. This ironic and symbolic last standing domino sends a clear message to the world: “What should we do now to bring down this last domino, to erase Communist ideology from mankind?”
Thank you for listening.
