The Communist Party of the Soviet Union led you to overthrow the legitimate government of the Republic of China with guns and cannons.”
“I am the people, why can’t I supervise you? I criticize the Communist Party, why can’t I criticize you? If you point out your shortcomings and mistakes, you will arrest me. A political organization that cannot supervise must be a cult and a tyranny, making the people fearful The regime must be a tyranny, this is the axiom of the world.”
The citizen’s words won widespread praise. One netizen left a message, “This warrior is really powerful and well-founded. I admire him very much.”
There has been a lot of turmoil in Beijing recently. The police openly checked the information and mobile phones of pedestrians and people taking public transportation. A Beijing lady was stopped by three plainclothes policemen who claimed to be from the Jianguomen Subway Station police station and asked to verify her identity.
As a result, the lady scolded her loudly (Click to view), “Why do you need to verify my identity information? You have to tell me why first? You have to tell me why, and are you wearing police uniforms? Do you need to verify your identity when taking the subway? Am I breaking the law?”

Some of them said that the policeman was illegally enforcing the law because according to the police law, there should be at least two people at the law enforcement scene. “Who do you think you are? There are at least two people, and there is such an awesome person?”
The CCP’s regime’s governance system has been extended to the most grassroots villages and streets, and people at the grassroots level have risen to resist, which illustrates the failure of the CCP’s high-pressure stability maintenance system.
Li Yuanhua, a historian living in Australia, told The Epoch Times that the legitimacy of the CCP is increasingly being questioned by the public, and ordinary people are now increasingly understanding the CCP’s tactics, which are to persecute anyone by any means necessary.
“The CCP has no public support and is not elected by the people. Including Taiwan’s democratic election of a president, the CCP is very afraid, because it is a mirror looking into demons. Therefore, it can only use this totalitarian, authoritarian and illegal method to maintain it. It can only accelerate its own demise in this kind of tyranny.”
Party-nationalization of the CCP’s state institutions
The last peak when the legitimacy of the CCP regime was questioned was during the severe epidemic lockdown period. At that time, the entire mainland of China was turned into a huge prison. Everyone was monitored in real time and could not leave their homes and communities, even if they were sick. and food shortage.
In the later stages of the epidemic, people who had endured to the limit began to wonder, “Who gave the authorities the power to deprive citizens of their most basic rights to survive?” At that time, there were many scenes on the Internet of people confronting the police, auxiliary police, grid officers, and Dabai. In the end, the angry people launched a massive “white paper revolution” and chanted slogans such as “Down with the Communist Party” and “Xi Jinping steps down.” From then on, many people began to think about immigrating or relocating.
On the evening of November 29, 2022, more than a hundred people gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate in Chicago to respond to the “White Paper Movement” in mainland China. (Video screenshot/Angela)
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has officially placed regime security above the Chinese people’s pursuit of their own well-being. The “struggle philosophy” of “dare to fight and be good at fighting” has also been written into the party constitution and has become a basis for cadre promotion and assessment. Under such circumstances, the CCP’s governance style is becoming more and more party-state-oriented, and the normal performance of responsibilities of all state institutions has been replaced by the security fear that the regime may collapse at any time.
At the CCP’s Political and Legal Work Conference from January 13 to 14, the authorities requested that the focus of work in 2024 be on maintaining stability and “dealing with internal conflicts among the people.” Xi Jinping, leader of the Communist Party of China, instructed that the political and legal fronts must “uphold the party’s absolute leadership, faithfully perform duties, and assume responsibilities” and said that it is necessary to “uphold and develop the Maple Bridge Experience in the new era.”
At the Communist Party of China’s Education Work Conference on January 12, the first requirement was to “firmly grasp the political nature of education” and “guide students to firmly listen to and follow the Party.”

“The authoritarian regime itself has no legal basis. This is its essential characteristic.” Lai Jianping, a former Beijing lawyer and Canadian chairman of the Democratic Front, told The Epoch Times. “Now that the Communist Party has faded from a one-party dictatorship to a one-man dictatorship, there is even less law and The rules are that one-party dictatorship still has family laws, but one-man dictatorship doesn’t even have family laws anymore, it must obey one person’s will.”
He said, “The Communist Party originally stipulated that it could only rule for two terms. Xi Jinping’s illegal rule has caused widespread backlash, so he has to adopt such harsh methods and means to maintain his personal dictatorship.”
“On the surface, the CCP has laws, but it does not really use laws to govern the country. It only uses legal provisions to maintain autocratic centralization.” Li Yuanhua told The Epoch Times, “When it wants to suppress the masses and political opponents, it invokes some laws According to the provisions, we will use so-called civilized law enforcement to persecute you.”
“There are so-called party rules above the law, and you must be loyal to the party. In fact, it means that the party’s leadership can be above the rules and regulations,” he said.
People overcome fear Resistance is spreading everywhere
After three years of cleanup, the CCP’s high-pressure politics has not relaxed. Instead, various measures aimed at national security have been continuously strengthened. The leader of the Communist Party of China has repeatedly mentioned the “Maple Bridge Experience”. The so-called “Maple Bridge Experience” means that conflicts are controlled at the grassroots level and cannot be handed over.
Political setbacks have led to China’s economic recession. The gap between the interests of the Communist Party and the interests of the Chinese people is getting wider and wider, and people are questioning the legitimacy of the Communist Party of China. This has reached another peak.
At the end of last year, a male middle school student in Ningling County, Shangqiu, Henan Province suddenly died in school. Because the boy had obvious injuries on his body, his family members questioned the cause of his death. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets and went to schools to argue with the government. The procession was so huge that it was impossible to see the beginning or the end.
Ms. Bai, an insider, told The Epoch Times that Chinese people will definitely resist if their children are involved. Many local parents go to schools to ask for explanations. People from nearby Shandong couldn’t stand it and called on people to drive to Ningling. There is only one way out of the county seat, and you must get your ID card to pick up your children from school. All highway intersections have been smashed, and many drivers are stuck on the highway.
“The Communist Party is crazy, absolutely insane,” Ms. Bai said.
Not only ordinary people, but also financial magazines and Yicai, which represent the middle class, also made different voices and released signals of boldness.
In the last week of 2023, Hu Shuli, the founder of Caixin.com, published two articles, “Revisiting the Ideological Line of Seeking Truth from Facts” and “There Will Be a Difference in 2023.” On January 4, “China Business News” published “The best promise is to let go and “Decentralize Power” editorial openly contradicts the highest level of the CCP.

Lai Jianping said that there is a law in political science that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. When a society becomes authoritarian to a certain extent, it will reach a critical point sooner or later. When the so-called right time, right place, and right people are available, strong resistance will definitely break out.
“Now more and more people in China are bravely standing up and have overcome this fear. Now the momentum of resistance in China is spreading everywhere.” He said.
Li Yuanhua believes that if Xi Jinping ties himself to the Communist Party, he will inevitably take the path of authoritarian centralization and political persecution. The more he does this, it will actually accelerate the demise of the CCP.
“It can be boldly asserted that Xi’s regime and his personal dictatorship will inevitably fall within one or two years,” Lai Jianping said.
