The CCP leader Xi Jinping acts unjustly in the name of "patriotism," manipulating public sentiment and using "patriotism" as a guise to label any questioning or opposition as "betrayal."

Patriotism thus becomes a tool for Xi Jinping to mask his power and pursue personal gain.

We must remain clear-minded: patriotism is not the same as loyalty to the Party, and certainly not the same as loyalty to Xi Jinping.

We oppose the CCP's authoritarianism and Xi Jinping's dictatorship, pursuing freedom and democracy. This is true patriotism.
