#3 It's from a Falun Gong-sympathizing journal. This is pretty radical propaganda - that bit about the mandate of heaven is classic Chinese revolutionary talk. Quoting a military officer as denying the party's mandate is just this side of reporting a coup d'etat. If I understand the implications, reporting this about a real person would net said real person a very long jail term, if not an execution. That is, assuming that he doesn't actually have any military units backing him, in which case I'd expect real, blood-on-the-walls civil strife.

It's got to be bullshit.

Depends... If there is enough PLA members quiting, they would be likely found in the PLA hospitals--psychiatric wards. From CPP POV, "Who in their right mind...". Until the wards fill up.

I think that it's a propaganda scheme too, but who knows, an ounce of impetus may sometimes trigger a chain of events, if the attacked system's building blocks are rotten enough. Things snowballed pretty fast in Eastern Europe in 1989.

It's not a bunch of students in one square in this case. If PLA members start really quitting CCP en masse, CCP is as good as done. They better start devising some way to adapt Pooty's style of rule pretty fast if they want to survive in some form. Which is not to say that would be much better, as China has more love than hate relationship with authoritarian rule, so not much chances that it would end up with a truly democratic (not meaning a rule of majority here, but rather guaranted freedoms) system.
