Officers And Soldiers Take Oath to Quit The CCP
2007-08-13
By Feng Changle

Because of the Quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) movement triggered by the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party (The Nine Commentaries), a soldier called the "voice of the army" appealed recently for all ex-service personnel and active-duty soldiers to withdraw from the CCP. Accordingly, many ex-servicemen and active military personnel announced that they were quitting the CCP. On August 5, nine officers and enlisted men withdrew from the CCP together. At the same time, some officers and army personnel made statements to quit the CCP that included their family members.

An officer at the basic level who formerly worked in the number 38th Army Group wrote in his statement of quitting the CCP: "I've been a demobilized soldier since 1999. I realized that it was an evil political party, a fascist feudal political group, a political tool forfeiting the future of our mother country and enslaving the Chinese people, through my life in the military and what I saw and heard in the society. The Chinese Army was reduced to an army only servicing the CCP, family servants of the CCP, and hatchet men. I make this statement to withdraw from the CCP."

Shuntian Wang, a family member of an officer in Xinjiang Military Command, said that many years ago he recognized the evil characteristics of the CCP and had withdrawn from the CCP. "The CCP is the source of all disasters the Chinese people have suffered. Let us wipe out the CCP from China by following the mandate of heaven." In response to the appeal from the "voice of the Army", he plans to tell all officers and soldiers he knows not to assist in the CCP's massacre of the Chinese people.

"I vow I have already realized the evil characteristics of the CCP and from now on I announce that I withdraw from the CCP and its organizations and will not be a soldier servicing only the CCP. I treated the basic interests of the Chinese people as the highest value and support the nationalization of troops. I promised to join in the army of the democratic China of the future at an opportune moment. I promise to join in the army focused on disintegrating the CCP, at the right moment. Even if I were unable to join in the movement of eliminating the CCP, I promise not to fire at the people disintegrating the CCP and never serve as an evil tool suppressing those who are wiping out the CCP."

#4  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.

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.

#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.
