Ten Reasons Why the Free World with The Leadership of America Must Boycott the 2008 Olympic Games in Communist China
By Demetrius Klitou

Ten Reasons Why the Free World with The Leadership of America Must Boycott the 2008 Olympic Games in Communist China





1) Human rights are practically non-existent in Communist China
Religious persecution, imprisonment and murder of non-violent political
dissidents, torture,
organ harvesting and sentences to hard labour are widespread.

2) The lack of freedom of the press and safety risks for foreign
reporters
Many foreign websites are banned from being visited within China,
foreign reporters are
prohibited from interviewing anyone without previous permission from
the government, and
the content of all broadcasting is severely restricted. Foreign news
media reporters have
been arrested and sentenced to prison under vague and wide-reaching
security laws.

3) The 1980 Olympic Games in Communist Russia were boycotted by 64
states,
under the leadership of the U.S.
Beijing is not any different from Moscow in 1980, which was also the
capital of a
Communist police state.

4) Communist China constantly threatens to attack Taiwan
China's government passed a law that explicitly calls for military
intervention in response to
any intention by the democratic government of Taiwan to declare
independence. Military
manoeuvres indicate that the Communists' military is preparing to
enforce this law.

5) Beijing has the most polluted air in the world
Studies and satellites photos have proven that Beijing suffers from
extremely high nitrogen
dioxide levels, vitally dangerous to the health of the athletes.

6) China is plagued by widespread social, political, and economic
unrest
A surge in huge land grabs and forced evictions by the Chinese
government for reasons of
economic expansion and Olympic Games preparations have sparked
thousands of protests.
The government has murdered hundreds of protesters.

7) The Chinese have been bribing and threatening large numbers of
members of the
International Olympic Committee
A number of U.S. Representatives, for example, Congressman Tom Lantos,
have stated this
on national television.

8) A boycott has some potential to serve as a strategy to encourage
human rights in
China
Only the greedy and foolish global elite think this is true the other
way around.

9) Holding the Olympic Games in Communist China contradicts the Olympic
Charter
The Olympic Charter defines the philosophy of Olympism as the "respect
for universal
fundamental ethical principles" and its goal of promoting "a peaceful
society concerned with
the preservation of human dignity."

10) Don't repeat the errors of 1936 when Nazi Germany was allowed to
host the
Olympic Games
The Olympic Games will give Communist China the same propaganda tool
Nazi Germany
enjoyed. Not since 1936 have the ideals of Olympics been so trampled
upon.

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 “divine
mandate” [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’s 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 “advance with time.”
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’s 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 ‘reform’ 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’s protection
of the
Party’s interests has increasingly become the basic guarantee for
maintaining
the interests of individuals within the CCP. The CCP’s 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’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the CCP, said in
a front
page story on July 12th, 2004: “The 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.”
What is it that should remain unchanged? The People’s Daily explains:
“The
Party’s basic line of ‘one center, two basic points’ must last solidly
for one
hundred years without any vacillation.” [2]
People don’t necessarily understand what the ‘center’ and ‘basic
points’ stand
for, but everyone knows that the Communist specter’s 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’s lives.
At the time of Mao Zedong’s death, so many Chinese cried bitterly
before Mao’s
portrait, wondering repeatedly, “How can China continue without
Chairman Mao?”
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?”
In reality, the CCP’s 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’s minds have been digested and
absorbed into
their very cells. People think according to the CCP’s logic and put
themselves
in the CCP's shoes in judging right and wrong. Regarding the CCP’s
killing of
student protesters on June 4, 1989, some people said, “If I were Deng
Xiaoping,
I too would quell the protest with tanks.” In the persecution of Falun
Gong,
some people are saying, "If I were Jiang Zemin, I too would eliminate
Falun
Gong.” About the ban on free speech, some people are saying, "If I were
the CCP,
I would do the same.” Truth and conscience have vanished, leaving only
the CCP’s
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’s 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’s 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’s
political
movements and the resultant turmoil, and fear chaos will visit China
again.
Thus, once the CCP threatens people with “turmoil,” people fall into a
silent
acceptance of the CCP’s rule, feeling helpless in the face of the CCP’s
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. “Stability overrides everything
else” and
“Nipping the buds of all unstable elements”—these 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’s Hard Work
The CCP’s 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’s 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 “great nation
of sports”
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
“relying on the Party's basic theory, basic line, basic principle, and
basic
experience.” The launching of China’s 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’s hosting of
the 2008
Olympic Games, what was in reality an “olive branch” 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’s “great market potential,” which is sought after by foreign
investors,
stems from the consumption power of China’s 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’s 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 “legitimacy crisis,” the CCP carried out the policies
of reform
and openness in the 1980’s in order to maintain its rule. Its eagerness
for a
quick success has placed China in a disadvantageous position termed by
economists as the “curse of the latecomer.”
The concepts of “curse of the latecomer” or “latecomer advantage” 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’ 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 “curse to the latecomer,” a path to failure, that
the CCP
has followed. Over the past two decades, China’s “technological
imitation” has
led to some achievements, which have been taken by the CCP to its own
advantage
in order to prove its “legitimacy” and continue to resist political
reform that
would undermine the CCP’s own interests. Thus, the long-term interests
of the
nation have been sacrificed.
A Painful Cost for the CCP’s Economic Development
While the CCP constantly brags about its economic advancement, in
reality,
China’s economy today ranks lower in the world than during the
Qianlong’s reign
(1711-1799) in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, China’s
GDP
accounted for 51 percent of the world’s total. In the early years after
Sun
Yat-sen founded the Republic of China (Kuomintang or KMT period),
China’s GDP
accounted for 27 percent of the world’s 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’s GDP was less than 4 percent of
the
world’s 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’s 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’s 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’s to the end of the 1990’s, 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’s 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 “Russian economic phenomenon,” but have also begun to
invest in
Russia, the new hotspot, on a large scale. Russia’s ranking among the
most
attractive nations for investment has jumped from 17th in 2002 to 8th
in 2003,
becoming one of the world’s 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 “evolution of social systems.” 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’s
power-holders have
utilized their positions to fill their own pockets.
CCP’s 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’s Premier Wen Jiabao issued a “No. 1
Document,”
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’s 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’s aircraft manufacturing contract is
given to
France or the U.S. depends on which country keeps quiet on CCP’s 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’s Ministry of Commerce, by the end of
April 2004,
China has seen a total US$ 990 billion of foreign investment in various
contracts. The “huge blood transfusion” to the CCP’s 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’s 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’s Brainwashing Techniques: From “Brazen” to “Delicate”
People are often heard to say, “I know the CCP lied too often in the
past, but
this time it is telling the truth.” 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’s tall tales; in
response, the
CCP’s fabrication and propaganda have become more “delicate” and
“professional.”
Evolving from the slogan-style propaganda of the past, the CCP’s lies
have
become more “gradual” and “subtle.” 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 “delicate” 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’ 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’s 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 “gradual”
and
“patiently guiding” 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 “weird diseases,” 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: “all of these are
the
disastrous results of an election” and “we should never ever hold a
democratic
election.”
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’s staged shows have
been so
vivid and kept coming one after another. No wonder so many Chinese have
been
fooled. The CCP’s craftiness has been so deceptive that the victims of
its
deception willingly believe in the CCP’s lies and think that they have
the
truth.
The CCP’s cheating ability in its brainwashing propaganda over the past
decades
has become more “delicate” and “subtle,” which is a natural extension
of its
deceptive and shameless nature.
******************
IV. The CCP’s Hypocrisy in Human Rights
From Seeking Democracy for the Sake of Power to Dictatorial Rule and
Hypocrisy
in Human Rights
“In 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… how could democracy be possible
without
ending the Party rule and without a popular election? Return people’s
rights to
people! ”
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 “popular election” and demanded “returning
people’s
rights to people” has been treating “popular suffrage” as taboo since
it usurped
power. The people who are supposed to be “the masters and owners of the
state”
have no rights whatsoever to make their own decisions. No words, not
even
“roguish,” would be sufficient to describe the CCP’s nature and what
the CCP has
done to its people.
If you fancy that what’s 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 “return people’s
rights
to people,” you are wrong again. Let us hear what People’s Daily, the
CCP’s
mouthpiece, has to say on November 23rd, 2004, 60 years after the above
public
statement: “A steadfast control of ideology is the essential
ideological and
political foundation for consolidating the Party’s rule.”
Recently, the CCP proposed a so-called new “Three No Principle,” [6]
the first
of which is “Development with no debates.” The CCP’s real purpose is
not
“development” but to emphasize “no debates,” establishing “one voice,
one hall.”

When asked by the renowned CBS correspondent Mike Wallace in 2000 why
China has
not conducted popular elections, Jiang Zemin responded, “The Chinese
people are
way too low in education.”
However, as early as February 25, 1939, the CCP cried out in its Xinhua
Daily,
“They (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…… but, only
under the
democratic system will it become easier to educate and train the
people.”
And the hypocritical difference between what Xinhua said in 1939 and
what Jiang
Zemin said in 2000 reflects the true picture of the CCP’s 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’s progress in human rights. It concocted a range of unjustifiable
rights
fallacies such as “the survival right,” 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 “the present is the best period for China’s human
rights”.
Article 35 of China’s Constitution stipulates that citizens of the
People’s
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 “one state, two systems” policy for Hong Kong
affirmed by
CCP’s 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
“relaxation in
speech” 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’s 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—its conduct of evils deeds in broad daylight—in 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: “It loosens up to
the
outside but tightens up internally.” The CCP’s 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’ 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’s dictatorial nature
and its
instinctive fear of losing power determine that it will not respect
people’s
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 façade 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 “the
rule of law,” “market,” “for the people,” and “reform” to confuse
people’s
minds. The CCP did not change its evil scoundrel nature even if it
dresses
itself up in a “Western-style suit.” It is just more misleading and
deceiving
than the CCP “in a Mao suit.” In George Orwell’s 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 “the legal basis.” The goal is to assail
the
people’s 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
“competing with
the Party for the masses,” “bringing demise to the Party and the
country,”
“insurgence,” and “enemy forces.” A non-political issue would
intentionally be
politicized, so that the CCP could use political movements as a
propaganda tool
to incite people’s hatred.
C. Political Problems Are Handled with Non-political Means
The CCP’s latest ploy to attack pro-democratic personnel and
independent-thinking intellectuals is to set up “traps” in order to
imprison
them. Such “traps” 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’s scoundrel nature, if any, is that it has
become
even more disgraceful and inhuman.
The Hostage Culture of Scoundrels—Holding 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’s
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 “suppression of
students” avoided a potential “internal disorder” in China. As a way to
prevent
an “internal disorder,” the “suppression of students” was thus
justified.
What does it mean when a criminal questions the judge in court, “Raping
or
killing, which one is better”? 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: “Suppression of students or
internal
disorder that may lead to civil war?”
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
“hostage
theory” 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—from Bestowing “Freedom” to Escalating Suppression
Many Chinese people feel that they enjoy more “freedom” now than
before, so they
hold out a hope for the prospect of the CCP’s improvement. As a matter
of fact,
the degree of freedom people are “bestowed” depends highly on the CCP’s
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’s leadership, the so-called “freedom” bestowed
by the CCP
was not protected by any legislation. Such “freedom” is purely a tool
to benumb
and control people in the guise of following the international trend
toward
democracy. In essence, this “freedom” is in an irreconcilable conflict
with the
CCP’s interest in dictatorship. Once such a conflict is so activated as
to be
beyond the CCP’s tolerance level, the CCP could take back all the
“freedom”
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’s scoundrel nature.
In today’s Internet era, if you visit the CCP’s official Xinhua website
or the
People’s 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’s interest, i.e., “minor criticism
offers
great help.” The reports would always attribute the cause of bad news
to certain
individuals, having nothing to do with the Party, while crediting the
CCP’s
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’s
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 “refined” 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’s power
could
control such a chaotic society and force people to endorse the CCP’s
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’s government, it pretended to
be
fighting for democracy for the nation. The CCP’s scoundrel nature
determines
that any promise by the CCP is not reliable.
******************
V. Various Aspects of the CCP’s Scoundrel Nature
Selling out the Nation’s Land out of Vanity—Using The Name of National
Unity to
Betray the Country
“We must liberate Taiwan” and “Unify Taiwan” have been the CCP’s
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’s 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’s support.
In the early days when the CCP set up the “Chinese Soviet” during the
Nationalist reign, the Clause 14 of its Constitution stated that “any
ethnic
groups or any provinces inside China can claim independence.” In order
to comply
with the Soviet Union, the CCP’s slogan back then was “To protect the
Soviet.”
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’s
power. The
CCP has made a fanfare of “Unifying Taiwan,” 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? “Self restraint!”
This is the
slogan the CCP has used to deceive the people for decades. From the
“Self
Criticism” in earlier times to “self surveillance,” “self-perfecting
the Party’s
leadership,” to the recent “self-enhancing the Party’s governing
capacity.” The
CCP emphasizes the super power that it has for so-called “self
improvement.” The
CCP does not just say it but actually takes action, establishing “The
Central
Disciplinary Inspection Committee” and “the Office for Appeals” and the
like.
These organizations are merely “flower vases” that confuse and mislead.
Without moral and legal restraint, the CCP’s “self-improvment” is equal
to the
traditional Chinese saying of “demons emerging from one’s own heart.”
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’s legitimacy
and the
interests of the ruling group.
The CCP is expert at playing the political thug. “The People’s
Democratic
Dictatorship,” “Democratic Centralism,” “Political Consultation” and so
on are
all deceptive means. Except for the “Dictatorship,” 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’s
involvement in the war to increase its own power.
The only major battles the CCP fought were the “Pingxing Pass Battle”
and the
“Hundred Regiment Battle,” 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’s vast territory for heroes in the Sino-Japanese War.
At the time the CCP established a “Border Region Government” in
Shaanxi, Gansu,
and Ningxia provinces away from the battlefront. Using today’s
nomenclature, the
CCP was conducting “one country two systems,” or “two Chinas” inside
China.
Although the CCP’s commanders did not lack passion in resisting the
Japanese,
the CCP’s 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’s
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 “terrorists” 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
“special anti-terrorist force” 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’s 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’t 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’s 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 “people’s servants” 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’s moral standard is declining. Why hasn’t the CCP’s propaganda of
“spiritual civilization” worked to correct this?
As a matter of fact, the Communist Party leaders transmitted mere lies
when they
promulgated “Communist moral quality” or “Serve the people.” The
inconsistency
between Communist leaders’ 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’s 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’s 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—it is an open secret. People call this phenomenon “sincere
pretension.” The CCP’s high tunes, either the “Three Represents”
several years
ago, or “improving governing capacity” later, or today’s “three
hearts”—“warming, stabilizing and gaining people’s hearts”—have all
been
nonsense. Which ruling party would not represent the people’s benefits?
Which
ruling party would not care about governing capacity? Which ruling
party is not
about gaining people’s 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’s
habits and the
Party’s 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’t
have an opportunity to act like a scoundrel or a bully. If that’s the
case, how
could it make itself followed and feared by the people?
Abandon Conscience and Sacrifice Justice for the Party’s Interests
In the book “On the Communist Party’s Moral Development,” Liu Shaoqi
[9]
expounded especially on the need “for Party members to subsume their
individual
interests to the Party’s interest.” 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’s machinery of self-interest, these officials cannot
survive.
Under constant pressure to “submit oneself to the Party,” 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’s
brutal regime and have developed a profound fear of the CCP’s violence.
Therefore, people dare not uphold justice and no longer believe in the
heavenly
laws. First they submit themselves to the CCP’s 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’s
might.
This is the CCP’s nature at work, to behave like a gangster and a
scoundrel.
Patriotism as a Nationwide Urgent Mobilization
The CCP’s slogans of “patriotism” and “nationalism” are the
sugar-coating to
seduce people. They are not only the CCP’s 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’s Daily and are inspired to become more
patriotic
than the Chinese living inside China. Chinese people, who dare not say
“no” to
any CCP policy, were brave enough, under the CCP’s 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 “patriotism.”
The Communist Party has decided that whenever it encounters an
important issue
that demands obedience from the people, it will use “patriotism” and
“nationalism” 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—in 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’s 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—Mixing 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, “the
extinction of
the Party and the country,” placing the “Party” before the “country.”
The
founding principle of China is that “there would be no new China
without the
CCP.” From childhood, people were educated to “listen to the Party” and
“behave
like good children of the Party.” They sang praises to the Party: “I
consider
the Party as my mother,” “Oh, Party, my dear mother,” “The saving grace
of the
Party is deeper than the ocean,” “Love for my father and mother can not
surpass
love for the Party.”[11] They would “go and fight wherever the Party
directs
us.” When the government offered disaster relief, people would “thank
the Party
and the government”—first the “Party” and then the “government.” A
military
slogan reads “the Party commands the gun.” 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
“law,”
“country,” and “people.”
The “Party” has become a supreme name in China, and the “country” has
become the
Party’s subordinate. The “country” exists for the “Party,” and the
“Party” is
said to be the embodiment of the people and the symbol of the
“country.” 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’s 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 “the
Party’s
interest” is superior to all, and to concur that “the Party’s interests
equal
the interests of the people and the country.” This result of the CCP’s
indoctrination has created a wide-open space for the Chinese Communist
scoundrel
group to betray the national interests.
Play the “Redress” Game and Turn Criminal Acts into “Great
Accomplishments”
The CCP has made many blunders in history. But, it has always put the
blame on
certain individuals or groups through “redress and rehabilitation.”
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 “not
only
unafraid of making mistakes, but also good at correcting them,” [12]
and this
has become the CCP’s magical potion with which repeatedly to escape
elimination.
Thus, the CCP remains forever “great, glorious, and correct.”
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
“Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance” through State Terror
The fraudulent “Tiananmen self-immolation” staged by the CCP evil cult
may be
rated as the CCP’s 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’s
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’s 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—so
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 “Chinese Characteristics”
The term “Chinese characteristics” is used to cover up the CCP’s shame.
The CCP
claims all along that it owes its success in China’s revolution to “the
integration of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete reality of Chinese
revolution.” The CCP has frequently used and misused the term
“characteristic”
as an ideological support for its capricious and roguish policies.
Capriciousness and Deceptive Means
Under the roguish façade of the “Chinese characteristics,” the only
things the
CCP has accomplished are nonsense and absurdity.
The goal of the CCP’s 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’ 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’s new “royalty” has
become
even richer capitalists through embezzlement and corruption. Those who
followed
the Party in the early revolutions now sigh, “If I knew the situation
today, I
would not have followed it then.” After several decades of sweat and
struggle,
they find themselves to have simply devoted their brothers’ and
fathers’
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’s corrupt officials’ bureaucratic economic base
that
decides the superstructure relying on high pressures to maintain.
Suppressing
the people has therefore become the CCP’s 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 “party” 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 “distribution according to contribution,” the process of
“allowing some
people to get rich first” has been accomplished along with
“distribution
according to power.” The CCP uses the disguise of “serving the people
whole-heartedly” to deceive those who hold these ideals, then
completely
brainwashes and controls them, gradually changing them into docile
tools who
“serve the Party whole-heartedly” and who dare not speak up for the
people.
Party of Scoundrels with “Chinese Characteristics”
Using a principle that values the Party’s 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 “Chinese characteristic,” the CCP established itself
among the
nations of the world. The “Chinese characteristics” have become an
abbreviation
of “CCP’s scoundrel characteristics.”
With the “Chinese characteristics,” China’s crippled capitalism was
transformed
into “socialism”; “unemployment” became “waiting for employment”;
“being laid
off” from work became “off duty”; “poverty” became the “initial stage
of
socialism”; 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,
“I’m a
scoundrel and I am afraid of no one.” This is the malicious consequence
of
several decades of the CCP’s roguish rule — imposing scoundrelism on
the nation.
Accompanying the fake prosperity of China’s economy is the rapidly
declining
morality in all aspects of society.
The people’s representatives of China oftentimes talk about the issue
of
“honesty and trust” during the Chinese People’s 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’t
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’s scoundrel nature is
eradicating the
moral foundation that had long sustained the Chinese people.
******************
Conclusion
“It is easier to alter rivers and mountains than to change one's
nature.” [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 “slave”
status of
Chinese peasants. The economic reform and liberalization in the 1980s
had no
constraint on the CCP’s raising of a butcher’s knife on its own people
in 1989.
In the future, the CCP will continue to alter its façade 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’s
struggles are to remember what has happened.
In fact, the history of the CCP is a history that has severed people’s
memories,
a history in which children don’t 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’s past and holding
out hope
for the CCP’s 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
“Party
Possession.” By using the so-called ideology of “struggle” that opposes
nature,
heaven’s 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’s 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’s 5,000-year history, the 55 years of the
CCP’s 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’s 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’s
survival depends. What is even more devastating is the near destruction
of
China’s 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’s 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’s lives. This has led them to accept and identify with the CCP’s
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’s completely evil nature, and to restore our human
nature and
conscience—this 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’s 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’s 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 “Who Grants the
Monarchical
Power?” Mencius said, “It was from heaven.” 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 “Let every soul be
subject
unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers
that be are
ordained of God.”
[2] The one center refers to economic development, while the two basic
points
are: Maintain the four basic principles (socialist path, dictatorship
of the
proletariat, the CCP’s leadership, Marxism-Leninism and Mao’s Thought),
and
continue with the policies of reform and openness.

[6] The “Three No Principle” has occurred in the past. In 1979, Deng
Xiaoping
proposed a “Three No Principle” to encourage people to speak their
minds: No
labeling, no attacking, and no picking on mistakes. This should remind
people of
Mao similarly encouraging intellectuals in the 1950s, which was
followed by
brutal persecution of those who did speak up. Now, the newly proposed
“Three
No’s” refer to “Development with no debates, advancement with no
struggles, and
progress with no contentment in lagging behind.”
[7] Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23 was proposed in 2002 by the Hong
Kong
government under pressure from Beijing. The article represented a
serious
erosion of freedom and human rights in Hong Kong, undermining the “one
country,
two systems” policy promised by the CCP. Article 23 was opposed
globally, and
was finally withdrawn in 2003.
[8] Dong Cunrui died in 1949 during a war in Longhua, in today’s Heibei
province, when he held explosives on his body to bomb the fortress of
the KMT
army. Huang Jiguang died on a battle in North Korea in 1952 during the
US-Korea
war, when he attempted to use his body to block the American machine
gun.
[9] Liu Shaoqi, Chairman of China between 1959 and 1968, was considered
to be
the successor to Mao Zedong. During the Cultural Revolution
(1966-1976), he was
persecuted as a traitor, spy, and renegade. He died in 1969 after being
severely
abused under the CCP’s imprisonment.
[10] CCTV (China Central Television) is owned and directly operated by
the
central government. It is the major broadcast network in Mainland
China.
[11] These quoted phrases are all titles of songs written and sung
during the
Mao era in the 1960s and early 1970s.
[12] Mao once said that we are afraid of making mistakes, but we are
concerned
about correcting them.

[14] Superstructure in the context of Marxist social theory refers to
the way of
interaction between human subjectivity and the material substance of
society.
[15] This is a Chinese proverb that confirms the permanence of one's
nature. The
proverb has also been translated as “The fox may change his skin but
not his
habits.”
[16] The economic reform policies, known as the “three-freedom and
one-contract”
program (San Zi Yi Bao) proposed by Liu Shaoqi, then President of
China. The
program stipulated plots of land for private use, free markets,
enterprises
having sole responsibility for their own profits and losses, and the
fixing of
output quotas on a household basis.
