Following the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) labelling of Falun Gong as a "Counterrevolutionary Political Organisation" in March of 2005, high-ranking officials issued secret orders to launch a one-hundred-day "Strike Hard Movement". They decided to strike on three different dates; "April 25", the 6th anniversary of Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful appeal; July 20th, the 6th anniversary of the start of the violent persecution of Falun Gong, and the 16th anniversary of the June 4th Massacre. They also went on high alert to prevent people from downloading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party from the Internet and spreading it, or passing around the related material about resigning from the CCP. These orders also stated that a suspect is to be secretly tried after being arrested.
Since May, the CCP also intensified its efforts to control Falun Gong practitioners. They have arrested more Falun Gong practitioners, and sent them to classes to undergo brainwashing, serve forced labour terms, or receive prison sentences. Because of this, practitioners must pay more attention to their own safety.
In addition, in an attempt to stop the great tide of people resigning from the CCP initiated by the Nine Commentaries, the CCP has carried out an "Education Movement to Maintain Advancement" from top to bottom. Currently, the movement is being carried out at the city level and higher up. The "Education Movement to Maintain Advancement" is expected to extend to the grass-roots organisations in the latter half of this year and the first half of next year. The CCP also demands that everyone participate in the "Education Movement to Maintain Advancement," stating that they can't lose even one Party member.
The CCP's so-called "Education Movement to Maintain Advancement" is nothing more than an act of desperation prior to its own demise. Even among the CCP members, how many are there who still believe in the CCP? I also heard a person working at a low-level office, who upon hearing about the "Education Movement to Maintain Advancement," sighed to himself, "[They are] indeed rogues. Rogues."
So far, the number of people who have registered on the Internet to resign from the CCP has reached two million three hundred thousand. This represents the awakening of peoples conscience and the desire for people to do what is right.
