"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, or exile."

Xi Jinping has turned this foundational guarantee into a sick joke—a hollow promise mocked daily by his regime's ruthless apparatus of terror. His dictatorship is defined by a pathological obsession with controlling every mind and silencing every independent voice, no matter how mild, moderate, or harmless.

Take the case of Qin Yongmin's wife, Zhao Suli. Zhao was forcibly disappeared, held incommunicado for years without any lawful charge or due process, simply because she refused to abandon her husband's peaceful advocacy.

Consider Tang Jingling, a human rights lawyer known for promoting "civil disobedience" through reading groups and rights education—an endeavor any civilized society would protect. Under Xi's reign, Tang was abducted, tortured, and sentenced to five years in prison after a show trial. His "crime" was daring to believe that citizens have the right to think for themselves.

Or look at Guo Feixiong (Yang Maodong), who campaigned against corruption and defended the victims of land seizures. Guo was seized, forcibly disappeared into secret detention, subjected to brutal beatings, and denied medical treatment, all to demonstrate that under Xi Jinping, the regime does not punish crime—it punishes dissent.

This vendetta extends beyond activists to those who once believed the system could be reformed. Even those trying to improve the system from within have not been spared. Chang Weiping, a lawyer who exposed torture in detention, was forcibly disappeared for over a year and then sentenced in a closed trial for the invented offense of "subversion". His real offense was simply telling the truth about Xi Jinping's regime of lawless cruelty.

The pattern is unmistakable: enforced disappearances, indefinite detention, closed-door trials, and vicious reprisals against anyone who dares to imagine a freer society. Xi Jinping has built an edifice of fear, cemented by secret police and propaganda, and animated by a fanatical determination to crush the smallest ember of independent thought.

This is not "governance". It is the reflexive brutality of a dictator who fears the power of conscience more than any foreign adversary. So insecure is Xi Jinping's system that it resorts to kidnapping, humiliating, and destroying peaceful intellectuals, lawyers, and writers.

Every arrest without charge, every disappearance without explanation, every show trial behind closed doors is a monument to Xi Jinping's cowardice and moral bankruptcy.
