According to the book Explaining Simple
and Analyzing Compound Characters ( Shuowen Jiezi ) written
by Xu Shen (d. 147 AD in the Eastern Han Dynasty), the traditional Chinese
character Dang, meaning "party" or "gang," consists of two radicals that
correspond to "promote or advocate" and "dark or black" respectively. Putting
the two radicals together, the character means "promoting darkness." "Party"
or "party member" (which can also be interpreted as "gang" or "gang member")
carries a derogatory meaning. Confucius said, "A nobleman is proud but
not aggressive, sociable but not partisan." The footnotes of Analects
( Lunyu ) explain, "People who help one another conceal their wrongdoings
are said to be forming a gang (party)." In Chinese history, political cliques
were often called Peng Dang (cabal). It is a synonym for "gang of
scoundrels" in traditional Chinese culture and is associated with the implication
of ganging up for selfish purposes.
Why did the Communist Party emerge,
grow and eventually seize power in contemporary China? The Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) has constantly instilled into the Chinese people's minds that
history has chosen the CCP, that the people have chosen the CCP, and that
"without the CCP there would be no new China."
Did the Chinese people choose the Communist
Party? Or, did the Communist Party gang up and force Chinese people to
accept it? We must find answers from history.
From the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
to the early years of the Republic period (1911-1949), China experienced
tremendous external shocks and extensive attempts at internal reform. Chinese
society was in painful turmoil. Many intellectuals and people with lofty
ideals wanted to save the country and its people. However, in the midst
of national crisis and chaos, their sense of anxiety grew, leading first
to disappointment and then complete despair. Like people who turn to any
available doctor in times of illness, they looked outside China for their
solutions. When the British and French styles failed, they switched to
the Russian method. They did not hesitate to prescribe the most extreme
remedy for the illness, in the hope that China would quickly become strong.
The May Fourth movement in 1919 was
a thorough reflection of this despair. Some people advocated anarchism;
others proposed to overthrow the doctrines of Confucius, and still others
suggested bringing in foreign culture. In short, they rejected Chinese
traditional culture and opposed the Confucian doctrine of the middle way.
Eager to take a shortcut, they advocated the destruction of everything
traditional. On the one hand, the radical members among them did not have
a way to serve the country, and on the other hand, they believed firmly
in their own ideals and wills. They felt the world was hopeless, believing
only they had found the right approach to China's future development. They
were passionate for revolution and violence.
Different experiences led to different
theories, principles and paths among various groups. Eventually a group
of people met Communist Party representatives from the Soviet Union. The
idea of "using violent revolution to seize political power," lifted from
the theory of Marxism-Leninism, appealed to their anxious minds and conformed
to their desire to save the country and its people. They immediately formed
an alliance with each other. They introduced communism, a completely foreign
concept, into China. Altogether thirteen representatives attended the first
CCP Congress. Later, some of them died, some ran away, and some, betraying
the CCP or becoming opportunistic, worked for the occupying Japanese and
became traitors to China, or quit the CCP and joined the Kuomintang (the
Nationalist Party, hereafter referred to as KMT). By 1949 when the CCP
came to power in China, only Mao Zedong (also spelled Mao Tse Tung) and
Dong Biwu still remained of the original thirteen Party members. It is
unclear whether the founders of the CCP were aware at the time that the
"deity" they had introduced from the Soviet Union was in reality an evil
specter, and the remedy they sought for strengthening the nation was actually
a deadly poison.
The All-Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik)
(later known as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union), having just won
its revolution, was obsessed with ambition for China. In 1920, the Soviet
Union established the Far Eastern Bureau, a branch of the Third Communist
International, or the Comintern. It was responsible for the establishment
of a Communist party in China and other countries. Sumiltsky was the head
of the bureau, and Grigori Voitinsky was a deputy manager. They began to
prepare for the establishment of the CCP with Chen Duxiao and others. The
proposal they submitted to the Far Eastern Bureau in June 1921 to establish
a China branch of the Comintern indicated that the CCP was a branch led
by the Comintern. On July 23, 1921, under the help of Nikolsky and Maring
from the Far East Bureau, the CCP was officially formed.
The Communist movement was then introduced
to China as an experiment, and the CCP has set itself above all, conquering
all in its path, thereby bringing endless catastrophe to China. |

I.
The CCP Grew by Steadily Accumulating Wickedness |
|
It is not an easy task to introduce
a foreign and evil specter such as the Communist Party, one that is totally
incompatible with the Chinese tradition, into China, a country with a history
of 5,000 years of civilization. The CCP deceived the populace and the patriotic
intellectuals who wanted to serve the country with the promise of the "communist
utopia." It further distorted the theory of communism, which had already
been seriously distorted by Lenin, to provide a theoretical basis for destroying
all traditional morals and principles. In addition, the CCP's distorted
theory of communism was used to destroy all that was disadvantageous to
the CCP's rule and to eliminate all social classes and people that might
pose threats to its control.The CCP adopted the Industrial Revolution's
destruction of belief as well as the more complete atheism of communism.
The CCP inherited communism's denial
of private ownership, and imported Lenin's theory of violent revolution.
At the same time, the CCP inherited and further strengthened the worst
parts of the Chinese monarchy.
The history of the CCP is a process
of its gradual accumulation of every single wickedness, domestic and foreign.
The CCP has perfected its nine inherited
traits, giving them "Chinese characteristics":
evil,
deceit
incitement,
unleashing the scum of society
espionage
robbery
fighting
elimination
control
Responding to continuous crisis, the CCP
has consolidated and strengthened the means and extent to which these malignant
characteristics have been playing out.
First Inherited Trait:
Evil - Putting on the Evil Form of Marxism-Leninism
Marxism initially attracted the Chinese
Communists with its declaration to "use violent revolution to destroy the
old state apparatus and to establish a dictatorship of the proletariat."
This is precisely the root of evil in Marxism and Leninism.
Marxist materialism is predicated on
the narrow economic concepts of forces of production, production relations,
and surplus value. During the early, underdeveloped stages of capitalism,
Marx made a shortsighted prediction that capitalism would die and the proletariat
would win, which has been proven wrong by history and reality. Marxist-Leninist
violent revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat promote power-politics
and proletarian domination. The Communist Manifesto related the
Communist Party's historical and philosophical basis to class conflict
and struggle. The proletariat broke free from traditional morals and social
relations for the sake of seizing power. Upon their first appearance, the
doctrines of communism are set in opposition to all tradition.
Human nature universally repels violence.
Violence makes people ruthless and tyrannical. Thus, in all places and
all times humanity has fundamentally rejected the premises of the Communist
Party's theory of violence, a theory that has no antecedent in any former
systems of thought, philosophy, or tradition. The communist system of terror
fell upon the earth as if from nowhere.
The CCP's evil ideology is built on
the premise that humans can conquer nature and transform the world. The
Communist Party attracted many people with its ideals of "emancipating
all mankind" and "world unity." The CCP deceived many people, especially
those who were concerned about the human condition and were eager to make
their own mark in society. These people forgot that there is a heaven above.
Inspired by the beautiful yet misguided notion of "building heaven on earth,"
they despised traditions and looked down upon the lives of others, which
in turn degraded themselves. They did all of this in an attempt to provide
the CCP with praiseworthy service and gain honor.
The Communist Party presented the fantasy
of a "Communist paradise" as the truth, and aroused people's enthusiasm
to fight for it: "For reason thunders new creation, `Tis a better world
in birth." [1] Employing such an absolutely absurd idea, the CCP severed
the connections between humanity and heaven, and cut the lifeline that
connects the Chinese people to their ancestors and national traditions.
By summoning people to give their lives for communism, the CCP strengthened
its ability to do harm.
Second Inherited Trait:
Deceit - Evil Has to Cheat to Pretend
to Be Righteous
Evil must lie. To take advantage of
the working class, the CCP conferred upon it the titles of "the most advanced
class," "selfless class," "leading class," and "pioneers of the proletarian
revolution." When the Communist Party needed the peasants, it promised
"land to the tiller." Mao applauded the peasants, saying, "Without the
poor peasants there would be no revolution; to deny their role is to deny
the revolution."[2] When the Communist Party needed help from the capitalist
class, it called them "fellow travelers in the proletarian revolution"
and promised them "democratic republicanism." When the Communist Party
was almost exterminated by the KMT, it appealed loudly, "Chinese do not
fight Chinese" and promised to submit itself to the leadership of the KMT.
As soon as the anti-Japanese war (1937-1945) was over, the CCP turned full
force against the KMT and overthrew its government. Similarly, the CCP
eliminated the capitalist class shortly after taking control of China,
and in the end transformed the peasants and workers into a truly penniless
proletariat.
The notion of a united front is a typical
example of the lies the CCP tells. In order to win the civil war against
the KMT, the CCP departed from its usual tactics of killing every family
member of the landlords and rich peasants and adopted a "temporary policy
of unification" with its class enemies such as the landlords and rich peasants.
On July 20, 1947, Mao Zedong announced that "Except for a few reactionary
elements, we should adopt a more relaxed attitude towards the landlord
class…in order to reduce hostile elements." After the CCP gained power,
however, the landlords and rich peasants did not escape genocide.
Saying one thing and doing another is
normal for the Communist Party. When the CCP needed to use the democratic
parties, it urged that all parties "strive for long-term coexistence, exercise
mutual supervision, be sincere with each other, and share honor and disgrace."
Anybody who disagreed with or refused to conform to the Party's concepts,
words, deeds, or organization was eliminated. Marx, Lenin and the CCP leaders
have all said that the Communist Party's political power would not be shared
with any other individuals or groups. From the very beginning, communism
clearly carried within it the gene of dictatorship. The CCP is despotic
and exclusive. It has never coexisted with any other political parties
or groups in a sincere manner, whether when it attempted to seize power
or after it gained control. Even during the so-called "relaxed" period,
the CCP's coexistence with others was at most a choreographed performance.
History tells us never to believe in
any promises the CCP makes, nor to trust that any of the CCP's commitments
will be fulfilled. To believe the words of the Communist Party in whatever
issue, that would be the issue that would cost one's life.
Third Inherited Trait:
Incitement - Skillfully Stirring up
Hatred and Inciting Struggle among the Masses
Deceit serves to incite hatred. Struggle
relies on hatred. Where hatred does not exist, it can be created.
The deep-rooted patriarchal clan system
in the Chinese countryside served as a fundamental barrier to the Communist
Party's establishment of political power. The rural society was initially
harmonious, and the relationship between the landowners and tenants was
not entirely confrontational. The landowners offered the peasants a means
to live, and in return the peasants supported the landowners.
This somewhat mutually dependent relationship
was twisted by the CCP into extreme class antagonism and class exploitation.
Harmony was turned into hostility, hatred, and struggle. The reasonable
was made to be unreasonable, order was made to be chaos, and republicanism
made to be despotism. The Communist Party encouraged expropriation, murder
for money, and the slaughter of landlords, rich peasants, their families
and their clans. Many peasants were not willing to take the property of
others. Some returned at night the property they took from the landlords
during the day, but they were criticized by CCP work teams in rural regions
as having "low class consciousness."
To incite class hatred, the CCP reduced
the Chinese theater to a propaganda tool. A well-known story of class oppression,
the White-Haired Girl [3], was originally about a female immortal and had
nothing to do with class conflicts. Under the pens of the military writers,
however, it was transformed into a "modern" drama, opera, and ballet used
to incite class hatred. When Japan invaded China during World War II, the
CCP did not fight with the Janpanese troops. Instead, it attacked the KMT
government with accusations that the KMT betrayed the country without fighting
against Japan. Even at the most critical moment of national calamity, it
incited people to oppose the KMT government.
Inciting the masses to struggle against
each other is a classic trick of the CCP. The CCP created the 95:5 formula
of class assignment: 95 percent of the population would be assigned to
various
classes that could be won over, while the remaining 5 percent would be
designated as class enemies. People within the 95 percent were safe, but
those within the 5 percent were "struggled" against. Out of fear and to
protect themselves, the people strived to be included in the 95 percent.
This resulted in many cases in which people brought harm to others, even
adding insult to injury. The CCP has, through the use of incitement in
many of its political movements, perfected this technique.
Fourth Inherited Trait:
Unleashing the Scum of Society - Hoodlums
and Social Scum Form the Ranks of the CCP
Unleashing the scum of society leads
to evil, and evil must utilize the scum of society. Communist revolutions
have often made use of the rebellion of hoodlums and social scum. The "Paris
Commune," actually involved homicide, arson, and violence led by social
scum. Even Marx looked down upon the "lumpen proletariat." [4] In the
Communist Manifesto , Marx said, "The ‘dangerous class,' the social
scum, that passively rotting mass thrown off by the lowest layers of the
old society, may, here and there, be swept into the movement by a proletarian
revolution; its conditions of life, however, prepare it far more for the
part of a bribed tool of reactionary intrigue." Peasants, on the other
hand, were considered by Marx and Engels to be unqualified to be any social
class because of their so-called fragmentation and ignorance.
The CCP developed further the dark side
of Marx's theory. Mao Zedong said, "The social scum and hoodlums have always
been spurned by the society, but they are actually the bravest, the most
thorough and firmest in the revolution in the rural areas."[2] The lumpen
proletariat enhanced the violent nature of the CCP and established the
early political power of the communist party in rural areas. The word "revolution"
in Chinese literally means "taking lives," which sounds horrific and disastrous
to all good people. However, the party managed to imbue "revolution" with
positive meaning. Similarly, in a debate over the term "lumpen proletariat"
during the Cultural Revolution, the CCP felt that "lumpen" did not sound
good, and so the CCP replaced it with "proletariat" simply.
Another behavior of the scum of society
is to play the rascal. When criticized for being dictators, Party officials
would reveal their tendency to bully and shamelessly pronounce something
along the lines of, "You are right, that is precisely what we are doing.
The Chinese experience accumulated through the past decades requires that
we exercise this power of democratic dictatorship. We call it the ‘people's
democratic autocracy.'"
Fifth Inherited Trait:
Espionage - Infiltrate, Sow Dissension,
Disintegrate and Replace
In addition to cheating, inciting violence,
and employing the scum of society, the technique of espionage and sowing
dissension was also used. The CCP was skillful in infiltration. Decades
ago, the "top three" outstanding undercover agents of the CCP, Qian Zhuangfei,
Li Kenong and Hu Beifeng, were in fact working for Chen Geng, the manager
of the Second Branch of the Spy Section of the Central Committee of the
CCP. When Qian Zhuangfei was working as a confidential secretary and trusted
subordinate of Xu Enzeng, the director of the Investigation Office of the
KMT Central Committe, he sent secret information of the KMT's first and
second strategic plans to encircle the CCP troops in Jiangxi province to
Li Kenong through the internal mail of the Organization Department of KMT
Central Committee, who further hand delivered it to Zhou Enlai (also spelled
as Chou En-lai) [5]. In April 1930, a special double-agent organization
funded by the Central Investigation Branch of the KMT was set up in the
Northeast region of China. On the surface, it belonged to the KMT and was
managed by Qian Zhuangfei, but behind the scenes it was controlled by the
CCP and led by Chen Geng.
Li Kenong also joined the KMT's Army
Headquarters as a cryptographer. Li was the one that decoded the urgent
message pertaining to the arrest and revolt of Gu Shunzhang [6], a CCP
Security Bureau Director. Qian Zhuangfei immediately sent the decoded message
to Zhou Enlai, thereby keeping the whole lot of spies from being caught
in a dragnet.
Yang Dengying was a pro-Communist special
representative for the KMT's Central Investigation Office stationed in
Shanghai. The CCP ordered him to arrest and execute those party memebers
who the CCP considered unreliable. A senior CCP officer from Henan Province
once offended a party cadre, and his own people pulled some strings to
put him in the KMT's jail for several years.
During the Liberation War [7], the CCP
managed to plant a secret agent whom Chiang Kai-shek (also called Jiang
Jieshi) [8] kept in close confidence. Liu Pei, Lieutenant General and the
Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Defense was in charge of dispatching
the KMT army. Liu was in fact an undercover agent for the CCP. Before the
KMT army found out about their next assignment, the information about the
planned deployment had already reached Yan'an, headquarters of the CCP.
The Communist Party would come up with a plan of defense accordingly. Xiong
Xianghui, a secretary and trusted subordinate of Hu Zongnan [9], revealed
Hu's plan to invade Yan'an to Zhou Enlai. So when Hu Zongnan and his forces
reached Yan'an, it was already deserted. Zhou Enlai once said, "Chairman
Mao knew the military orders issued by Chiang Kai-shek before they ever
made it to Chiang's army commander."
Sixth Inherited Trait:
Robbery - Plundering by Tricks or Violence
Becomes a "New Order"
Everything the CCP has was obtained
through robbery. When it pulled the Red Army together to establish its
rule through military force, they needed money for arms and ammunition,
food and clothes. The CCP raised funds in the form of suppressing the local
tyrants and robbing banks, behaving just like bandits. In a mission led
by Li Xiannian [10], one of the CCP's senior leaders, the Red Army kidnapped
the richest families in county seats in the area of western Hubei province.
They did not just kidnap one single person, but one from every rich family
in the clan. Those kidnapped were kept alive to be ransomed back to their
families for continued monetary support for the army. It was not until
either the Red Army was satisfied or the kidnapped families were completely
drained of resources that the hostages were sent home, many at their last
gasp. Some had been terrorized or tortured so badly that they died before
they could return.
Through "cracking down on the local
tyrants and confiscating their lands," the CCP extended the tricks and
violence of their plunder to the whole society, replacing tradition with
"the new order." The Communist Party has committed all manner of ill deeds,
large and small, while it has done no good at all. It offers small favors
to everyone in order to incite some to denounce others. As a result, compassion
and virtue disappear completely, and are replaced with strife and killing.
The "communist utopia" is actually a euphemism for violent plunder.
Seventh Inherited Trait:
Fighting - Destroys the National System,
and Traditional Ranks and Orders
Deceit, incitement, unleashing social
scum, and espionage are all for the purpose of robbing and fighting. Communist
philosophy promotes fighting. The communist revolution was absolutely not
just some disorganized beating, smashing and robbing. Mao said, "The main
targets of peasants' attack are local tyrants, the evil gentry and lawless
landlords, but in passing they also struck out against all kinds of patriarchal
ideas and institutions, against the corrupt officials in the cities and
against the bad practices and customs in the rural areas." [2] Mao clearly
instructed to destroy the entire traditional system and the customs of
the countryside.
Communist fighting also includes armed
forces and armed struggle. "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing
an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined,
so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and
magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which
one class overthrows another." [2] Fighting is used by the CCP when it
attempted to seize state power by force. A few decades later, the CCP used
the same characteristic of fighting to "educate" the next generation during
the Great Cultural Revolution.
Eighth Inherited Trait:
Elimination - Establishes a Complete
Ideology of Genocide
Communism has done many things with
absolute cruelty. The CCP promised the intellectuals a "heaven on earth."
Later it labeled them "rightist" and put them into the infamous ninth category
[11] of persecuted people, alongside landlords and spies. It deprived landlords
and capitalists of their property, exterminated the landlord and rich peasant
classes, destroyed rank and order in the countryside, took authority away
from local figures, kidnapped and extorted bribes from the richer people,
brainwashed war prisoners, "reformed" industrialists and capitalists, infiltrated
the KMT and disintegrated it, split from the Communist International and
betrayed it, cleaned out all dissidents through successive political movements
after it came to power in 1949, and threatened its own members with coercion.
Everything it did left no leeway.
The above-mentioned occurrences were
all based on the CCP's theory of genocide. Its every political movement
in the past was a campaign of terror with genocidal intent. The CCP started
to build its theoretical system of genocide at its early stage as a composite
of its theories on class, revolution, struggle, violence, dictatorship,
movements, and political parties. It encompasses all of the experiences
it has embraced and accumulated through its various genocidal practices.
The essential expression of CCP genocide
is the extermination of conscience and independent thought. In this way
a ‘reign of terror' serves the fundamental interests of the CCP. The CCP
will not only eliminate you if you are against it, but it may also destroy
you even if you are for it. It will eliminate whomever it deems should
be eliminated. Consequently, everyone lives in the shadow of terror and
fears the CCP.
Ninth Inherited Trait:
Control - The Use of Party Nature to
Control the Entire Party, and Subsequently the Rest of Society
All of the inherited characteristics
aim to achieve a single goal: to control the populace through the use of
terror. Through its evil actions, the CCP has proved itself to be the natural
enemy of all existing social forces. Since its inception, the CCP has struggled
through one crisis after another, among which the crisis of survival has
been the most critical. The CCP exists in a state of perpetual fear for
its survival. Its sole purpose has been to maintain its own existence and
power - its own highest benefit. To supplement its declining power, the
CCP has to turn to even more evil measures on a regular basis. The Party's
interest is not the interest of any single Party member, nor is it a collection
of any individual interests. Rather, it is the interest of the Party as
a collective entity which overrides any sense of the individual.
"Party nature" has been the most vicious
characteristic of this evil specter. Party nature overwhelms human nature
so completely that the Chinese people have lost their humanity. For instance,
Zhou Enlai and Sun Bingwen were once comrades. After Sun Bingwen died,
Zhou Enlai took his daughter, Sun Weishi, as his adopted daughter. During
the Cultural Revolution, Sun Weishi was reprimanded. She later died in
custody from a long nail driven into her head. Her arrest warrant had been
signed by her stepfather, Zhou Enlai.
One of the early leaders of the CCP
was Ren Bishi, who was in charge of opium sales during the anti-Japanese
war. Opium was a symbol of foreign invasion at that time, as the British
used opium imports to China to drain the Chinese economy and turn the Chinese
people into addicts. Despite the strong national sentiment against opium,
Ren dared to plant opium in a large area because of his "sense of Party
nature," risking universal condemnation. Due to the sensitive and illegal
nature of the opium dealings, the CCP used the word "soap" as a code-word
for opium. The CCP used the revenue from the illicit drug trade with bordering
countries to fund its existence. At the Centenary of the Birth of Ren,
one of the new generation of Chinese leaders highly praised Ren's aptitude
for the Party or sense of Party nature, claiming that, "Ren possessed superior
character and was a model Party member. He also had a firm belief in Communism
and unlimited loyalty to the cause of the Party."
An example of good aptitude for the
Party was Zhang Side. The Party said that he was killed by the sudden collapse
of a kiln, but others claimed that he died while roasting opium. Since
he was a quiet person, having served in the Central Guard Division and
having never asked for a promotion, it was said, "his death is weightier
than Mount Taishan," [12] meaning that his life held the greatest importance.
Another model of "party nature," Lei
Feng, was well known as the "screw that never rusts, functioning in the
revolutionary machine." For a long period of time, both Lei and Zhang were
used to educate the Chinese people to be loyal to the Party. Mao Zedong
said, "The power of examples is boundless." Many Party heroes were used
to model the "iron will and principle of the Party spirit."
Upon gaining power, the CCP launched
an aggressive campaign of mind control to mold many new "tools" and "screws"
from the successive generations. The Party formed a set of "proper thoughts"
and a range of stereotypical behaviors. These protocols were initially
used within the Party, but quickly expanded to the entire public. Clothed
in the name of the nation, these thoughts and actions worked to brainwash
people into complying with the evil mechanism of the CCP. |

II.
The CCP's Dishonorable Foundation |
|
The CCP lays claim to a brilliant history,
one that has seen victory after victory. This is merely an attempt to prettify
itself and glorify the CCP's image in the eyes of the public. As a matter
of fact, the CCP has no glory to advertise at all. Only by using the nine
inherited evil traits could it establish and maintain power.
Establishment of the CCP
Raised on the Breast of the Soviet Union
"With the report of the first cannon
during the October Revolution, it brought us Marxism and Leninism." That
was how the Party portrayed itself to the people. However, when the Party
was first founded, it was just the Asian branch of the Soviet Union. From
the beginning, it was a traitorous party.
During the founding period of the Party,
they had no money, no ideology, nor any experience. They had no foundation
upon which to support themselves. The CCP joined the Comintern to link
its destiny with the existing violent revolution. The CCP's violent revolution
was just a descendent of Marx and Lenin's revolution. The Comintern was
the global headquarters to overthrow political powers all over the world,
and the CCP was simply an eastern branch of Soviet Communism, carrying
out the imperialism of the Russian Red Army. The CCP shared the experience
of the Soviet Union's Communist Party of violent political takeover and
dictatorship of the proletariat and followed the Soviet Party's instructions
on its political line, intellectual line and organization line. The CCP
copied the secret and underground means by which an external illegal organization
survived, adopting extreme surveillance and control measures. The Soviet
Union was the backbone and patron of the CCP.
The CCP constitution passed by the First
Congress of the CCP was formulated by the Comintern, based upon Marxism-Leninism
and the theories of class struggle, dictatorship of the proletariat and
party establishment. The Soviet party constitution provided its fundamental
basis. The soul of the CCP consists of ideology imported from the Soviet
Union. Chen Duxiu, one of the foremost officials of the CCP, had different
opinions from Maring, the representative from the Comintern. Maring wrote
a memo to Chen stating that if Chen were a real member of the Communist
Party, he must follow orders from the Comintern. Even though Chen Duxiu
was one of the CCP's founding fathers, he could do nothing but listen and
obey orders. Truly, he and the Party were simply subordinates of the Soviet
Union.
During the Third Congress of the CCP
in 1923, Chen Duxiu publicly acknowledged that the Party was funded almost
entirely by contributions from the Soviet Comintern. In one year, the Comintern
contributed over 200,000 yuan to the CCP, with unsatisfactory results.
The Comintern accused the CCP of not being diligent enough in their efforts.
According to incomplete statistics from
declassified Party documents, the CCP received 16,655 Chinese yuan from
October 1921 to June 1922. In 1924, they received USD $1,500 and 31,927.17
yuan, and in 1927 they received 187,674 yuan. The monthly contribution
from the Comintern averaged around 20,000 yuan. Tactics commonly used by
the CCP today, such as lobbying, going through the backdoor, offering bribes,
and using threats, were already in use back then. The Comintern accused
the CCP of continuously lobbying for funds.
"They take advantage of the different
funding sources (International Communications Office, representatives for
the Comintern, and military organizations, etc.) to get their funds, because
one organization does not know that the other organization has already
dispersed the funds…the funny thing is, they not only understand the psychology
of our Soviet comrades. Most importantly, they know how to treat differently
the comrades in charge of dispersing funds. Once they know that they won't
be able to get it through normal means, they delay meetings. In the end
they use the crudest means to blackmail, like spreading rumors that some
grass-root officials have conflicts with the Soviets, and that money is
being given to warlords instead of the CCP." [13]
The First KMT and CCP Alliance
A Parasite Infiltrates to the Core and
Sabotages the Northern Expedition
[14]
The CCP has always taught its people
that Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the National Revolution movement [15], forcing
the CCP to rise in armed revolt.
In reality, the CCP is a parasite or
possessing specter. It cooperated with the KMT in the first KMT-CCP alliance
for the sake of expanding its influence by taking advantage of the national
revolution. Moreover, the CCP was eager to launch the Soviet-supported
revolution and seize power, and its desire for power in fact destroyed
and betrayed the National Revolution movement.
At the Second National Congress of the
CCP in July 1922, those opposing the alliance with the KMT dominated the
congress, because the party members were anxious to seize power. However,
the Comintern vetoed the resolution reached in the congress and ordered
the CCP to join the KMT.
During the first KMT-CCP alliance, the
CCP held its Fourth National Congress in Shanghai in January 1925 and raised
the question of leadership in China before Sun Yat-sen [16] died on March
12, 1925. Had he not died, he, instead of Chian Kai-shek would have been
the target the CCP aimed at in its quest for power.
With the support of the Soviet Union,
the CCP wantonly seized political power inside the KMT during its alliance
with the CCP. Tan Pingshan (1886-1956, one of the early leaders of CCP
in Guangdong province) became the minister of the Central Personnel Department
of the KMT. Feng Jupo (1899-1954, one of the early leaders of CCP in Guangdong
province), secretary of the Ministry of Labor, was granted full power to
deal with all labor-related affairs. Lin Zuhan (or Lin Boqu, 1886-1960,
one of the earliest CCP members) was the Minister of Rural Affairs, while
Peng Pai (1896-1929, one of the CCP leaders) was secretary of this Ministry.
Mao Zedong assumed the position of acting propaganda minister of the KMT
Propaganda Ministry. The military schools and leadership of the military
were always the focus of the CCP: Zhou Enlai held the position of director
of the Politics Department of the Huangpu (Whampoa) Military Academy, and
Zhang Shenfu (or Zhang Songnian, 1893-1986, one of the founders of CCP
who introduced Zhou Enlai to join the CCP) was its associate director.
Zhou Enlai was also Chief of the Judge Advocates Section, and he planted
Russian military advisers here and there. Many Communists held the positions
of political instructors and faculty in KMT military schools. CCP members
also served as KMT Party representatives at various levels of the National
Revolutionary Army. [17] It was also stipulated that without a Party representative's
signature, no order would be deemed effective. As a result of this parasitic
attachment to the National Revolution movement, the number of the CCP members
increased drastically from less than 1000 in 1925 to 30,000 by 1928.
The Northern Expedition started in February
of 1926. From October 1926 to March 1927, the CCP launched three armed
rebellions in Shanghai. Later, it attacked the Northern Expedition military
headquarters but failed. The pickets for the general strikes in Guangdong
province engaged in violent conflicts with the police every day. Such uprisings
caused the April 12 purge of the CCP by the KMT in 1927. [18]
In August 1927, the CCP members within
the KMT Revolutionary Army initiated the Nanchang Rebellion, which was
quickly suppressed. In September, the CCP launched the Autumn Harvest Uprising
to attack Changsha, but that attack was suppressed as well. The CCP began
to implement a network of control in the army whereby "Party branches are
established at the level of the company in the army," and it fled to the
Jinggangshan Mountain area in Jiangxi Province, [19] establishing rule
over the countryside there.
The Hunan Peasant Rebellion
Inciting the Scum of Society to Revolt
During the Northern Expedition, when
the National Revolutionary Army was at war with the warlords, the CCP instigated
rebellions in the rural areas in an attempt to capture power.
The Hunan Peasant Rebellion in 1927
was a revolt of the riffraff, the scum of society, as was the well-known
Paris Commune of 1871 - the first Communist revolt. French nationals and
foreigners in Paris at the time witnessed that the Paris Commune was a
group of destructive roving bandits with no vision. Living in exquisite
buildings and large mansions and eating extravagant and luxurious meals,
they cared only about enjoying their momentary happiness and worried about
nothing ahead. During the rebellion of the Paris Commune, they censored
the Press. They took as hostage and later shot the Archbishop of Paris,
Georges Darboy, who gave sermons to the King. For their personal enjoyment
they cruelly killed 64 clergymen, set fire to palaces, and destroyed government
offices, private residences, monuments, and inscription columns. The wealth
and beauty of the French capital had been second to none in Europe. However,
during the Paris Commune uprising, buildings were reduced to ashes and
people to skeletons. Such atrocities and cruelty had rarely been seen throughout
history.
As Mao Zedong admitted, communist revolution
creates a system of terror:
It is true the peasants are
in a sense ‘unruly' in the countryside. Supreme in authority, the peasant
association allowed the landlord no say and sweeps away his prestige. This
amounts to striking the landlord down to the dust and keeping him there.
The peasants threaten, "We will put you in the other register [the register
of reactionaries]!" They fine the local tyrants and evil gentry, they demand
contributions from them, and they smash their sedan-chairs. People swarm
into the houses of local tyrants and evil gentry who are against the peasant
association, slaughter their pigs and consume their grain. They even loll
for a minute or two on the ivory-inlaid beds belonging to the young ladies
in the households of the local tyrants and evil gentry. At the slightest
provocation they make arrests, crown the arrested with tall paper hats,
and parade them through the village, saying, "You dirty landlords, now
you know who we are!" Doing whatever they like and turning everything upside
down, they have created a kind of terror in the countryside. [2]
But Mao gave such "unruly" actions a full
approval, saying:
To put it bluntly, it is necessary
to create terror for a while in every rural area, or otherwise it would
be impossible to suppress the activities of the counter-revolutionaries
in the countryside or overthrow the authority of the gentry. Proper limits
have to be exceeded in order to right a wrong, or else the wrong cannot
be righted... Many of their deeds in the period of revolutionary action,
which were seen as going too far, were in fact the very things the revolution
required. [2]
The "Anti-Japanese" North-Bound Operation
The Flight of the Defeated
The CCP labeled the "Long March" as
a northbound anti-Japanese operation. It trumpeted the "Long March" as
a Chinese revolutionary fairy tale. It claimed that the "Long March" was
a "manifesto," a "propaganda team" and a "seeding machine," which ended
with the CCP's victory and their enemies' defeat.
The CCP fabricated such obvious lies
about marching north to fight the Japanese to cover its failures. From
October 1933 to January 1934, the Communist Party suffered a total defeat.
In the fifth operation by the KMT, which aimed to encircle and annihilate
the CCP, the CCP lost its rural strongholds one after another. With its
base areas continually shrinking, the main Red Army had to flee. This is
the true origin of the "Long March."
The "Long March" was in fact aimed at
breaking out of the encirclement and fleeing to Outer Mongolia and Soviet
Russia along an arc that first went west and then north. Once in place,
the CCP could escape into the Soviet Union in case of defeat. The CCP encountered
great difficulties when en route towards Outer Mongolia. They chose to
go through Shanxi and Suiyuan. On the one hand by marching through these
northern provinces, they could claim to be "anti-Japanese" and win people's
hearts. On the other hand, those areas were safe as no Japanese troops
were deployed there. The area occupied by the Japanese army was along the
Great Wall. A year later, when the CCP finally arrived at Shanbei (northern
Shaanxi province), the main force of the Central Red Army had decreased
from 80,000 to 6,000 people.
The Xi'an Incident
The CCP Successfully Sowed Dissension
and Latched onto the KMT a Second Time
In December 1936, Zhang Xueliang and
Yang Hucheng, two KMT generals, kidnapped Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an. This
has since been referred to as the Xi'an Incident.
According to the CCP's textbooks, the
Xi'an Incident was a "military coup" initiated by Zhang and Yang, who delivered
a life or death ultimatum to Chiang Kai-shek. He was forced to take a stance
against the Japanese invaders. Zhou Enlai was reportedly invited to Xi'an
as a CCP representative to help negotiate a peaceful resolution. With different
groups in China mediating, the incident was resolved peacefully, thereby
ending a civil war of ten years and starting a unified national alliance
against the Japanese. The CCP history books say that this incident was
a crucial turning point for China in her crisis. The CCP depicts itself
as the patriotic party that takes the interests of the whole nation into
account.
More and more documents have revealed
that many CCP spies had already gathered around Yang Hucheng and Zhang
Xueliang before the Xi'an Incident. Liu Ding, an underground CCP member
was introduced to Zhang Xueliang by Song Qingling, wife of Sun Yat-sen,
a sister of Madame Chiang and a CCP member. After the Xi'an Incident, Mao
Zedong praised that, "Liu Ding performed meritorious service in Xi'an Incident."
Among those working at Yang Hucheng's side, his own wife Xie Baozhen was
a CCP member and worked in Yang's Political Department of the Army. Xie
married Yang Hucheng in January of 1928 with the approval of the CCP. In
addition, CCP member Wang Bingnan was an honored guest in Yang's home at
the time. Wang later became a vice minister for the CCP Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. It was these CCP members around Yang and Zhang who directly instigated
the coup.
At the beginning of the incident, the
leaders of the CCP wanted to kill Chiang Kai-shek, avenging his earlier
suppression of the CCP. At that time, the CCP had a very weak base in northern
Shaanxi
province, and had been in danger of being completely eliminated in a single
battle. The CCP, utilizing all its acquired skills of deception, instigated
Zhang and Yang to revolt. In order to pin down the Japanese and prevent
them from attacking the Soviet Union, Stalin personally wrote to the Central
Committee of the CCP, asking them not to kill Chiang Kai-shek, but to cooperate
with him for a second time. Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai realized that they
could not destroy the KMT with the limited strength of the CCP; if they
killed Chiang Kai-shek, they would be defeated and even eliminated by the
avenging KMT army. Under these circumstances, the CCP changed its tone.
The CCP forced Chiang Kai-shek to accept cooperation a second time in the
name of joint resistance against the Japanese.
The CCP first instigated a revolt, pointing
the gun at Chiang Kai-shek, but then turned around and, acting like a stage
hero, forced him to accept the CCP again. The CCP not only escaped a crisis
of disintegration, but also used the opportunity to latch onto the KMT
government for the second time. The Red Army was soon turned into the Eighth
Route Army and grew bigger and more powerful than before. One must admire
the CCP's unmatchable skills of deception.
Anti-Japanese War
The CCP Grew by Killing with Borrowed
Weapons
When the anti-Japanese war broke out
in 1937, the KMT had more than 1.7 million armed soldiers, ships with 110,000
tons displacement, and about 600 fighter planes of various kinds. The total
size of the CCP's army including the New Fourth Army which was newly grouped
in November of 1937, did not exceed 70,000 people.Its power was weakened
further by internal fractional politics and could be eliminated in a single
battle. The CCP realized that if it were to face battle with the Japanese,
it would not be able to defeat even a single division of the Japanese troops.
In the eyes of the CCP, sustaining its own power rather than ensuring the
survival of the nation was the central focus of the emphasis on "national
unity." Therefore, during its cooperation with the KMT, the CCP exercised
an internal policy of "giving priority to the struggle for political power,
which is to be disclosed internally and realized in actual practice."
After the Japanese occupied the city
of Shenyang on September 18, 1931, thereby extending their control over
large areas in northeastern China, the CCP fought shoulder to shoulder
with Japanese invaders to defeat the KMT. In a declaration written in response
to the Japanese occupation, the CCP exhorted the people in the KMT-controlled
areas to rebel, calling on "workers to strike, peasants to make trouble,
students to boycott classes, poor people to quit working, soldiers to revolt"
so as to overthrow the Nationalist government.
The CCP held up a banner calling for
resistance to the Japanese, but they only had local armies and guerrilla
forces in camps away from the front lines. Except for a few battles, including
the one fought at Pingxing Pass, the CCP did not make much of a contribution
to the war against the Japanese at all. Instead, they spent their energy
expanding their own base. When the Japanese surrendered, the CCP incorporated
the surrendering soldiers into its army, claiming to have expanded to more
than 900,000 regular soldiers, in addition to 2 million militia fighters.
The KMT army was essentially alone on the frontlines while fighting the
Japanese, losing over 200 marshalls in the war. The commanding officers
on the CCP side bore nearly no losses. However, the textbooks of the CCP
constantly claimed that the KMT did not resist the Japanese, and that it
was the CCP that led the great victory in the anti-Japanese war.
Rectification in Yan'an
Creating the Most Fearsome Methods in
Persecution
The CCP attracted countless patriotic
youth to Yan'an in the name of fighting against the Japanese, but persecuted
tens of thousands of them during the rectification movement in Yan'an.
Since gaining control of China, the CCP has depicted Yan'an as the revolutionary
"holy land," but has not made any mention of the crimes it committed during
the rectification.
The rectification movement in Yan'an
was the largest, darkest and most ferocious power game ever played out
in the human world. In the name of cleansing petty bourgeoisie toxins,
the Party washed away morality, independence of thought, freedom of action,
tolerance, and dignity. The first step of the rectification was to set
up, for each person, personnel archives, which included: 1) a personal
statement; 2) a chronicle of one's political life; 3) family background
and social relationships; 4) autobiography and ideological transformation;
5) evaluation according to Party nature.
In the personnel archive, one had to
list all acquaintances since birth, all important events and the time and
place of their occurrence. People were asked to write repeatedly for the
archive, and any omissions would be seen as signs of impurity. One had
to describe all social activities they had ever participated in, especially
those related to joining the Party. The emphasis was placed on personal
thought processes during these social activities. Evaluation based on Party
nature was even more important, and one had to confess any anti-Party thoughts
or behavior in one's consciousness, speech, work attitudes, everyday life,
or social activities. For example, in evaluation of one's consciousness,
one was required to scrutinize whether one had been concerned for self-interest,
whether one had used work for the Party to reach personal goals, whether
one had wavered in trust in the revolutionary future, feared death during
battles, or missed family members and spouses after joining in the party
or the army. There were no objective standards, so nearly everyone was
found to have problems.
Coercion was used to extract "confessions"
from cadres who were being inspected in order to eliminate "hidden traitors."
Countless frame-ups and false and wrong accusations resulted, and a large
number of cadres were persecuted. During the rectification, Yan'an was
called "a place for purging human nature." A work team entered the University
of Military Affairs and Politics to examine the cadres' personal histories,
causing Red Terror for two months. Various methods were used to extract
confessions, including extemporaneious confessions, demonstrative confessions,
"group persuasions," "five-minute persuasions," private advice, conference
reports, and identifying the "radishes" (i.e., red outside and white inside).
There was also "picture taking" - lining up everyone on the stage for examination.
Those who appeared nervous were identified as suspects and targeted as
subjects to be investigated.
Even representatives from the Comintern
recoiled at the methods used during the rectification, saying that the
Yan'an situation was depressing. People did not dare interact with one
another. Each person had his own axe to grind and everyone was nervous
and frightened. No one dared to speak the truth or protect mistreated friends,
because each was trying to save his own life. The vicious - those who flattered,
lied, and insulted others - were promoted; humiliation became a fact of
life in Yan'an – either humiliate other comrades or humiliate oneself.
People were pushed to the brink of insanity, having been forced to abandon
dignity, a sense of honor or shame, and love for one another in order to
save their own lives and their own jobs. They ceased to express their own
opinions, but recited party leaders' articles instead.
This same system of oppression has been
employed in all CCP political activities since it seized power in China.
Three Years of Civil War
Betraying the Country to Seize Power
The Russian Bourgeois Revolution in
February 1917 was a relatively mild uprising. The Tsar placed the interests
of the country first and surrendered the throne instead of resisting. Lenin
hurriedly returned to Russia from Germany, staged another coup, and in
the name of communist revolution murdered the revolutionaries of the capitalist
class who had overthrown the Tsar, thus strangling Russia's bourgeois revolution.
The CCP, like Lenin, picked the fruits of a nationalist revolution. After
the anti-Japanese war was over, the CCP launched a so-called "War of Liberation"
(1946-1949) to overthrow the KMT government, bringing the disaster of war
to China once more.
The CCP is well known for its "huge-crowd
strategy," the sacrifice of massive casualties and deaths to win a battle.
In several battles with the KMT, including those fought in Liaoxi-Shenyang,
Beijing-Tianjin, and Huai Hai [20], the CCP used these most primitive,
barbarous, and inhumane tactics that sacrificed huge numbers of its own
people. When besieging Changchun city in Jilin Province in Northeast China,
in order to exhaust the food supply in the city, the People's Liberation
Army (PLA) was ordered to forbid ordinary people from leaving the city.
During the two months of Changchun's besiegement, nearly 200,000 people
died of hunger and frost. But the PLA did not allow people to leave. After
the battle was over, the CCP, without a tinge of shame, claimed that they
had "liberated Changchun without firing a shot."
From 1947 to 1948, the CCP signed the
"Harbin Agreement" and the "Moscow Agreement" with the Soviet Union, surrendering
national assets and giving away resources from the Northeast in exchange
for the Soviet Union's full support in foreign relations and military affairs.
According to the agreements, the Soviet Union would supply the CCP with
50 airplanes; it would give the CCP weapons left by the surrendered Japanese
in two installments; and it would sell the Soviet-controlled ammunition
and military supplies in China's Northeast to the CCP at low prices. If
the KMT launched an amphibious landing in the Northeast, the Soviet Union
would secretly support the CCP army. In addition, the Soviet Union would
help the CCP gain control over Xinjiang in Northwest China; the CCP and
the Soviet Union would build an allied air force; the Soviets would help
equip 11 divisions of the CCP army, and transport one-third of its US-supplied
weapons (worth $13 billion) into Northeast China.
To gain Soviet support, the CCP promised
the Soviet Union special transportation privileges in the Northeast both
on land and in the air; offered the Soviet Union information about the
actions of both the KMT government and the US military; provided the Soviet
Union with products from the Northeast (cotton, soybeans) and military
supplies in exchange for advanced weapons; granted the Soviet Union preferential
mining rights in China; allowed the Soviet Union to station armies in the
Northeast and Xinjiang; and permitted the Soviets to set up the Far East
Intelligence Bureau in China. If war broke out in Europe, the CCP would
send an expeditionary army of 100,000 plus 2 million laborers to support
the Soviet Union. In addition, the CCP promised to merge some special regions
in Liaoning province into North Korea if necessary. |

III.
Demonstrating Evil Traits |
|
Eternal Fear Marks the Party's History
The most prominent characteristic of
the CCP is its eternal fear. Survival has been the CCP's highest interest
since its inception. Such interest managed to overcome the fear hidden
underneath its ever-changing appearance. The CCP is like a cancer cell
that diffuses and infiltrates every part of body, kills the surrounding
normal cells and grows malignantly beyond control. In our cycle of history,
society has been unable to dissolve such a mutated factor as the CCP and
has no alternative but to let it proliferate at will. This mutated factor
is so powerful that nothing within the level and range of its expansion
can stop it. Much of society has become polluted, and larger and larger
areas have been flooded with communism or communist elements. These elements
are further strengthened and taken advantage of by the CCP and have fundamentally
degraded the morality and society of humankind.
The CCP doesn't believe in any generally
recognized principle of morality and justice. All of its principles are
used entirely for its own interest. It is fundamentally selfish, and there
are no principles that could restrain and control its desires. Based on
its own principles, the Party needs to keep changing how it appears on
the surface, putting on new skins. During the early period when its survival
was at stake, the CCP attached to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,
to the KMT, to the KMT's governing body, and to the National Revolution.
After capturing power, the CCP attached itself to various forms of opportunism,
to the citizens' minds and feelings, to social structures and means - to
anything it could put its hands on. It has utilized every crisis as an
opportunity to gather more power and to strengthen its means of control.
Steadfast Pursuit of Evil Is the CCP's
'Magic Weapons'
The CCP claims that revolutionary victory
depends on three "magic weapons": the Party's construction, armed struggle,
and united fronts. The experience with the KMT offered the CCP two more
such "weapons": propaganda and espionage. The Party's various "magic weapons"
have all been infused with the CCP's nine inherited traits: evil, deceit,
incitement, unleashing the scum of society, espionage, robbery, fighting,
elimination, and control.
Marxism-Leninism is evil in its nature.
Ironically, the Chinese Communists do not really understand Marxism-Leninism.
Lin Biao [21] said that there were very few CCP members who had really
read the works of Marx or Lenin. The public considered Qu Qiubai [22] an
ideologue, but he admitted to have only read a very little of Marxism-Leninism.
Mao Zedong's ideology is a rural version of Marxism-Leninism that advocates
the rebellion of peasants. Deng Xiaoping's theory of the primary stage
of socialism has capitalism as its last name. Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents"
[23] was pieced together out of nothing. The CCP has never really understood
what Marxism-Leninism is, but has inherited from it the evil aspects, upon
which the CCP has foisted off its own even more wicked stuff.
The CCP's united front is a conjunction
of deceit and short-term pay-offs. The goal of unity was to strengthen
its power, to help it grow from a loner to a huge clan and to change the
ratio of its friends to its enemies. Unity required discernment - identifying
who were enemies and who were friends; who were on the left, in the middle,
on the right; who should be befriended and when, and who should be attacked
and when. It easily turned former enemies into friends and then back to
enemies again. For example, during the period of the democratic revolution,
the party allied with the capitalists; during the socialist revolution
it eliminated the capitalists. In another example, leaders of other democratic
parties such as Zhang Bojun [24] and Luo Longji, [25] co-founders of "China
Democratic League", were made use of as supporters of the CCP during the
period of seizing state power, but later were persecuted as "rightists."
The Communist Party Is a Sophisticated
Professional Gang
The Communist Party has used two-sided
strategies, one side soft and flexible and the other hard and stern. Its
softer strategies include propaganda, united fronts, sowing dissension,
espionage, instigating rebellion, double-dealing, getting into people's
minds, brainwashing, lies and deception, covering up the truth, psychological
abuse, and generating an atmosphere of terror. In doing these things, the
CCP creates a syndrome of fear inside the people's hearts that leads them
to easily forget the Party's wrongdoings. These myriad methods could stamp
out human nature and foster maliciousness in humanity. The CCP's hard tactics
include violence, armed struggle, persecution, political movements, murdering
witnesses, kidnapping, suppressing different voices, armed attacks, periodic
crack-downs, etc. These aggressive methods create and perpetuate terror.
The CCP uses both soft and hard methods
concurrently. Sometimes they would be relaxed in some instances while strict
in others, or they would be relaxed on the outside while stiff in their
internal affairs. In a relaxed atmosphere, the CCP encouraged the expression
of different opinions, but, as if luring the snake out of its hole, those
who did speak up would only be persecuted in the following period of strict
control. The CCP often used democracy to challenge the KMT, but when intellectuals
in the CCP-controlled areas disagreed with the Party, they would be tortured
or even beheaded. As an example, we can look at the infamous "Wild Lilies
incident," in which the intellectual Wang Shiwei (1906-1947) who wrote
an essay "Wild Lilies" to express his ideal of equality, democracy and
humanitarianism was purged in the Yan'an rectification movement and hacked
to death with axes by the CCP in 1947.
A veteran official who had suffered
torments in the Yan'an Rectification movement recalled that when he was
under intense pressure, dragged and forced to confess, the only thing he
could do was to betray his own conscience and make up lies. At first, he
felt bad to be implicating and framing his fellow comrades. He hated himself
so much that he wanted to end his life. Coincidentally, a gun had been
placed on the table. He grabbed it, pointed it at his head and pulled the
trigger. The gun had no bullets! The person who investigated him walked
in and said, "It's good that you admitted what you've done was wrong. The
Party's policies are lenient." The Communist Party would know that you
had reached your limit, know that you were "loyal" to the Party, so you
had passed the test. The CCP always first puts one in a deathtrap and then
enjoys one's every pain and humiliation. When one reaches the limit and
just wishes for death, the Party would "kindly" come out to show one a
way to live. It is said "better a live coward than a dead hero." One becomes
so grateful to the Party as one's savior. Years later, this official learned
about Falun Gong, a Qigong and cultivation practice that started in China.
He felt the practice to be good. When the persecution of Falun Gong started
in 1999, however, his painful memories of the past revisited him, and he
no longer dared to say that Falun Gong was good.
The experience of China's last Emperor
Puyi [26] was similar to this officer's. Imprisoned in the CCP's cells
and seeing people killed one after another, he thought that he would die
soon. In order to live, he allowed himself to be brainwashed and cooperated
with the prison guards. Later, he wrote an autobiography The First Half
of My Life , which was used by the CCP as a successful example of ideological
remolding.
According to modern medical studies,
many victims of intense pressure and isolation fall prey to an abnormal
sense of dependency on their captors known as the Stockholm Syndrome. The
victims' moods - happiness or anger, joy or sorrow - would be dictated
by those of their captors. The slightest favor for the victims will be
received with deep gratitude. There are accounts in which the victims develop
"love" for their captors. This psychological phenomenon has been long used
successfully by the CCP both against its enemies and in controlling and
remolding the minds of its citizens.
The Party Is the Most Wicked
A majority of the general secretaries
of the CCP have been labeled anti-communists. Clearly, the CCP has a life
of its own, with its own independent body.The party runs the officials
and not the other way around. In the "Soviet areas" of Jiangxi province,
while the CCP was encircled by the KMT and could hardly survive, it still
conducted internal cleansing operations in the name of cracking down on
the "Anti-Bolshevik (AB) Corps," executing its own soldiers at night or
stoning them to death to save bullets. In northern Shaanxi province, while
sandwiched in between the Japanese and the KMT, the CCP began the Yan'an
rectification movement of mass cleansing, killing numerous people. This
type of repetitive massacre on such a massive scale did not prevent the
CCP from expanding its power to eventually rule all of China. The CCP expanded
this pattern of internal rivalry and killing one another from the small
Soviet areas to the whole nation.
The CCP is like a malignant tumor: in
its rapid development, the center of the tumor has already died, but it
continues to diffuse to the healthy organisms on the outer edges. After
the organisms and bodies are infiltrated, new tumors grow. No matter how
good or bad a person is to start with, after joining the CCP, he or she
would become a part of its destructive force. The more honest the person
is, the more destructive he would become. Undoubtedly, this CCP tumor will
continue to grow until there is nothing left for it to feed upon. Then,
the cancer will surely die.
The founder of the CCP, Chen Duxiu,
was an intellectual and a leader of the May Fourth student movement. He
showed himself not a fan of violence, and warned the CCP members that if
they attempted to convert the KMT to the communist ideologies or had too
much interest in power, that would certainly lead to strained relationships.
While one of the most active in the May Fourth generation, Chen was also
tolerant. However, he was the first to be labeled a "right-wing opportunist."
Another CCP leader, Qu Qiubai, believed
that the CCP members should engage in battles and fighting, organize rebellions,
overthrow authorities, and use extreme means to return the Chinese society
to its normal functioning. However, he confessed before his death, "I do
not want to die as a revolutionary. I had left your movement a long time
ago. Well, history played a trick, bringing me, an intellectual, onto the
political stage of revolution and keeping me there for many years. In the
end, I still could not overcome my own gentry notions. I cannot become
a warrior of the proletariat class after all." [27]
The CCP leader Wang Ming, at the advice
of the Comintern, argued for unity with the KMT in the war against the
Japanese,
instead of expanding the CCP base. At the CCP meetings, Mao Zedong and
Zhang Wentian [28] could not persuade this fellow comrade, nor could they
reveal the truth of their situation: according to the limited military
strength of the Red Army, they would not be able to hold back even a division
of the Japanese by themselves. If, against good sense, the CCP would have
decided to fight, then the history of China would certainly be different.
Mao Zedong was forced to remain silent at the meetings. Later, Wang Ming
was ousted, first for a "left wing" deviation and then branded an opportunist
of the right wing ideology.
Hu Yaobang, another party Secretary,
who was forced to resign in January of 1987, had earned back Chinese people's
support for the CCP by bringing justice to many innocent victims who had
been criminalized during the Cultural Revolution. Still, he was kicked
out in the end.
Zhao Ziyang, the most recent fallen
Secretary [29], wanted to help the CCP in furthering reform, yet his actions
brought him dire consequences.
So what could each new leader of the
CCP accomplish? Truly to reform the CCP would imply its death. The reformers
would quickly find their power taken away by the CCP. There is a certain
limit on what the CCP members can do to transform the CCP system. So there
is no chance for CCP to succeed in reformation.
If the Party leaders have all turned
into "bad people," how could the CCP have expanded the revolution? In many
instances when the CCP was at its best - also the most evil, their highest
officials failed in their positions. This was because their degree of evil
did not meet the high standard of the Party, which has, over and over,
selected only the most evil. Many Party leaders ended their political life
in tragedy, yet the CCP has survived. The CCP leaders who survived their
positions were not those who could influence the Party, but those who could
comprehend the Party's evil intentions and follow them. They strengthened
the CCP's ability to survive while in crisis, and gave themselves entirely
to the Party. No wonder Party members were capable of battling with heaven,
fighting with the earth, and struggling against other human beings. But
never could they oppose the Party. They are tame tools of the Party, or
at most symbiotically related to the Party.
Shamelessness has become a marvelous
quality of today's CCP. According to the Party, its mistakes were all made
by individual Party leaders, e.g., Zhang Guotao [30] or the Gang of Four
[31]. Mao Zedong was judged by the Party as having three parts mistakes
and seven parts achievements, while Deng Xiaoping judged himself to have
four parts mistakes and six parts achievements, but the Party itself was
never wrong. Even if the Party was wrong, well, it is the Party itself
which has corrected the mistakes. Therefore, the Party tells its members
to "look forward" and "not to be tangled in past accounts." Many things
could change: The Communist paradise is turned into a lowly goal of socialist
food and shelter; Marxism-Lenenism is replaced by the "Three Represents."People
should not be surprised to see the CCP promoting democracy, opening up
the freedom of belief, abandoning Jiang Zemin overnight, or redressing
the persecution of Falun Gong, if it deems doing so necessary to maintain
its control. There is one thing that never changes about the CCP: The fundamental
pursuit of the Party's goals - survival and maintenance of its power and
control.
The CCP has mixed violence, terror
and high-pressure indoctrination to form its theoretical basis, which is
then turned into the Party nature, the supreme principles of the Party,
the spirit of its leaders, the functioning mechanism of the entire Party,
and the criteria for the actions of all CCP members. The Communist Party
is as hard as steel, and its disciplines are as solid as iron. The intention
of all members must be unified, and the actions of all members must completely
comply with the Party's political agenda. |

Why has history chosen the Communist
Party over any other political force in China? As we all know, in this
world there are two forces, two choices. One is the old and evil, whose
goal is to do evil and choose the negative. The other is the righteous
and good, which will choose the right and the benevolent. The CCP was chosen
by the old forces. The reason for the choice is precisely because the CCP
has gathered all the evil of the world, Chinese or foreign, past or present.
It is a typical representative of the evil forces. The CCP took the greatest
advantage of people's inborn innocence and benevolence to cheat, and, step
by step, it has prevailed in gaining today's capacity to destroy.
What did the Party mean when it claimed
that there would be no new China without the Communist Party? From its
founding in 1921 until it took political power in 1949, the evidence clearly
shows that without deceit and violence, the CCP would not be in power.
The CCP differs from all other types of organizations in that it follows
a twisted ideology of Marxism-Leninism, and does what it pleases. It can
explain all that it does with high theories and link them cleverly to certain
portions of the masses, thus "justifying" its actions. It broadcasts propaganda
every day, clothing its strategies in various principles and theories and
proving itself to be forever correct.
The development of the CCP has been
a process of the accumulation of evil, with nothing glorious at all. The
history of the CCP tells us precisely its illegitimacy. The Chinese people
did not choose the CCP; instead, the CCP forced Communism, this foreign
evil specter, onto the Chinese people by applying the evil traits that
it has inherited from the Communist Party - evil, deceit, incitement, unleashing
the scum of society, espionage, robbery, fighting, elimination, and control. |

[3] A Chinese folk legend, the White-Haired
Girl is the story of a female immortal living in a cave who had supernatural
abilities to reward virtue and punish vice, support the righteous and restrain
the evil. However, in the Chinese "modern" drama, opera, and ballet, she
was described as a girl who was forced to flee to a cave after her father
was beaten to death for refusing to marry her to an old landlord. She became
white-haired for lack of nutrition. This became one of the most well-known
"modern" dramas in China and incited class hatred of landlords.
[4] Lumpen proletariat, roughly translated
as slum workers. This term identifies the class of outcast, degenerate
or underground elements that make up a section of the population of industrial
centers. It includes beggars, prostitutes, gangsters, racketeers, swindlers,
petty criminals, tramps, chronic unemployed or unemployables, persons who
have been cast out by industry, and all sorts of declassed, degraded or
degenerated elements. The term was coined by Marx in The Class Struggles
in France , 1848-1850.

it categorized the people. Among the defined classes of enemies, intellectuals
are next to landlords, reactionaries, spies, etc. and ranked Number 9.

[14] The Northern Expedition was a military
campaign led by Chiang Kai-shek in 1927 intended to unify China under the
rule of the KMT and end the rule of local warlords. It was largely successful
in these objectives. During the Northern Expedition, the CCP had an alliance

by Chiang Kai-shek initiated a military operation against the CCP in Shanghai
and several other cities. Over 5,000 to 6,000 of the CCP members were captured
and many of them were killed in Shanghai between April 12 and the end of
1927.
[19] The Jinggangshan Mountain area
is considered the first rural revolutionary base of the CCP, and is called

[21] Lin Biao (1907-1971), one of the
senior CCP leaders, served under Mao Zedong as a member of China's Politburo,

the architect of China's Great Cultural Revolution. Lin was designated
as Mao's successor in 1966 but fell out of favor in 1970. Sensing his downfall,
Lin reportedly became involved in a coup attempt and attempted to flee
to the USSR once the alleged plot became exposed. During his attempted

mentioned in a speech by Jiang Zemin in February, 2000. According to this
doctrine, the Party must always represent the development trend of China's
advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture
and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese
people.
[24] Zhang Bojun (1895-1969) was one

him a large government pension and permitted him to live in the Forbidden
City of Beijing until 1924. After 1925, he lived in the Japanese concession
in Tianjin. In 1934, and, reigning under the name K'ang Te, he became the
emperor of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, or Manchuria. He was
captured by the Russians in 1945 and kept as their prisoner. In 1946, Pu
Yi testified at the Tokyo war crimes trial that he had been the unwilling
tool of the Japanese militarists and not, as they claimed, the instrument
of Manchurian self-determination. In 1950 he was handed over to the Chinese
Communists, and he was imprisoned at Shenyang until 1959, when Mao Zedong
granted him amnesty.
