As we approach the Chinese Spring Festival, we are confronted with a serious question: where do we stand? Deng Xiaoping's reforms once pointed us towards a bright path, but now, this path has been completely overturned under the leadership of Xi Jinping and the CCP.
From Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin, and then to Hu Jintao, we once believed that China's reforms and opening up would continue to progress, with economic growth and improved livelihoods. However, since Xi Jinping came to power, everything has changed.
Xi Jinping, ambitious and unsatisfied with just leading China, seeks to rule the world. His Belt and Road Initiative is nothing but a high-stakes gamble on foreign investment, while domestically, he imposes tight controls, suppresses dissent, and tramples on human rights.
The past three years of the pandemic have allowed Xi Jinping to strengthen control over the people, maintaining his dictatorial rule. He has amended the constitution, suppressed political opponents, and extended his term repeatedly, plunging China into the abyss of one-man dictatorship.
Xi Jinping's anti-intellectual behavior has raised alarms in democratic countries, with more and more nations starting to distance themselves from the CCP. However, the CCP attempts to confuse the narrative by equating anti-Communism with anti-Chinese sentiment, trying to link the Chinese people with CCP rule.
The reality of the Chinese economy is bleak. Foreign capital is fleeing, supply chains are relocating, the stock market is declining, and economic growth is being whitewashed with false numbers. Two major fires caused by human negligence, yet not a single official dares to take responsibility. All of this is the result of Xi Jinping's authoritarian rule.
In contrast, Xi Jinping's Spring Festival speeches are filled with false optimism, absurdly claiming that the Chinese economy is "doing well." The country is regressing while he calls it deepening reform and opening up, which is utterly ludicrous. We have regressed to the era of the Cultural Revolution, yet he claims we are consolidating a healthy political environment, which is downright absurd!
We cannot remain silent, we cannot be oppressed anymore. We are free people, why should we tolerate his repression? We have thoughts, why should we endure his dictatorship? We are equal individuals, why should we tolerate his tyranny?
Only by soberly recognizing reality can we take action. We cannot stand idly by, letting time pass, but should rise to the challenge and seek solutions. China needs genuine change, the voices of the people need to be respected and heard. What we need is democracy and freedom, not dictatorship and authoritarianism!
During this Spring Festival reunion, let us not forget those who died in the fires, those who lost their jobs due to economic downturn, those persecuted by corrupt officials, and those forced to leave their homeland in pursuit of freedom and democracy.
Let us work together to bring about change sooner, no longer tolerating hypocrisy and deception. Only when we bravely stand up, criticize mistakes, and strive for democracy, can China find the path to revitalization, allowing the country to regain its vitality and ensuring that every Chinese person can live freely, equally, and with dignity.
