Chapter 12 The Public Conscience Calling (5)

Zhang Ming, a professor at Renmin University of China in Beijing, has criticized Xi Jinping’s core saying, “The whole world doesn’t want communism, we do. The whole world wants democratic constitutionalism, we don’t. The whole world’s people are standing up, we’re on our knees.” He also has said, “The whole world endorses universal values, we don’t. The world’s officials do not enjoy the special offer, our officials enjoy it with peace of mind. The whole world supports anti-dictatorship, we don’t. People all over the world enjoy free education and medical care, we can’t.”

Yu Jianrong, director of the Social Issues Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, as early as 2014 when it was Xi Jinping’s second year in power, put forward the “ten don’ts” to Xi’s core: 1. don’t make the “Chinese dream”, 2. don’t let corruption run rampant, 3. don’t let the Constitution be a piece of straw, 4. Don’t let the youth become losers, 5. Don’t let the peasants become stragglers, 6. Don’t treat falsehood as self-confidence, 7. Don’t treat infringement of civil rights as a tool of governance, 8. Don’t treat the NPC as a decoration, 9. Don’t treat political reformers as enemies, 10. Don’t forget your historical responsibility.

On February 2, 2020, some alumni of Tsinghua University, after the death of Li Wenliang, published a “letter to compatriots”, denouncing the government for killing the truth and put forward five objections: 1. the survival of hundreds of millions of people should be put in the first place, 2. oppose group blocking, 3. oppose to maintain a stable mode of thinking and the people as the enemy, 4. oppose to turn the disaster into a glorification event, to pursue the system responsibility, opposed to change the disaster into a glorious event, to chase the system responsibility, 5. opposed to regression, insist on abolishing the leadership for life, restart the reform.

In January 2020, Xu Zhiyong, a human rights lawyer, published a 10,000-word “letter of dissuasion” against Xi Jinping while in exile which was well-reasoned, pertinent and without any falsehoods and it pierced like a sharp sword into Xi’s heart. Xu Zhiyong was sentenced to four years in prison in 2013 for publishing an open letter calling on Xi Jinping to take the road to democracy and constitutionalism and in early 2020 he was threatened with exile from Beijing and was sent into exile in the south.

Xu Zhiyong began by saying to Xi Jinping, “Once again, the people expect, you give up!” Then he counted Xi Jinping’s “four self-confidence, eight clear, 14 adhere to”, a basket of terms. He said he didn’t know what to say, isn’t it the Cultural Revolution? A dictatorship? The more self-confidence in the mouth, the less self-confidence in the heart. He relies on a small group of alcoholic brothers and sisters who carry a dozen team leaders; they would not do anything but waste resources and labors. Xi uses Belt and Road in order to control the economy of weak countries but that’s just a waste of trillions of wealth earned by hard working people in China. When major crises come, they are helpless. They are aggressive to Hong Kong and constantly encroaching on freedom. During the Wuhan pandemic, they intimidated doctors, blocking the truth to the national disaster. They are mediocre and the cult of the individual dictatorship will reverse the flow of history. They are back to the historic Liangjiahe.

Private enterprises also were requested to set up a CCP party branch . Doesn’t it mean to share assets? with the public private enterprise’s mission will be over. This is a full-scale withdrawal. Xi is the only one left in the news broadcasting. Xi’s portraits were posted on the streets and alleys. Yuan Shikai retrograde history, you are far worse than Yuan, Yuan still can not compare with Xi. What do you Xi dream about? Desperately trying to maintain stability, but ghosts on all sides, security special agents are continuously on increasing its activities. They don’t do the right thing, only busy maintaining stability. Due to Xinjiang’s detention being arbitrary, a large number of Chinese have fled from Xinjiang. Should the Xinjiang model be promoted in the mainland? There are more than 200 million cameras and their number is increasing rapidly. The cost of stability maintenance has long exceeded the military expenditure, the more maintenance the more unstable governance. China is hollowing out , everyone is in debt, the whole country has to pay. You are in the emperor’s new clothes parading and I am the child who is speaking the truth.

Xu Zhiyong’s final advice to Xi:” the world trend is vast against the current. You go home and rest, it’s too late to regret!”

Xu Zhiyong, who was arrested on February 15, 2020 at a friend’s home in Panyu, Guangzhou and was taken back to Beijing; he has not been heard since then. His girlfriend, Li Qiaochu, a labor researcher and feminist, is also imprisoned in Beijing and her situation is also unknown.

The Xi government has been paying students to inform them and set up a system of so-called “student informers” to monitor teachers.

Tan Song, a professor at Chongqing Normal University, was forcibly removed and dismissed in July 2017 for engaging in truth-seeking about red history and in 2019 Zhao Siyun, vice president of Zhejiang Media College, Li Mohai, head of the political science department at Shandong Institute of Technology and professor at Yantai Party School, Yang Shaozhi, professor at Guizhou Normal University, Shi Jiepeng, associate professor at Beijing Normal University, Xu Chuanqing, associate professor at Beijing Architecture University, You Shengdong, professor at Xiamen University, and Wuhan Zhai Qinghong, associate professor of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, have been expelled, suspended, dismissed and expelled from the Party for making statements that are not allowed by the Xi regime.
