In a recent event commemorating the “Road of Wang Ruowang and the Chinese Democratic Party” organized by the All Committee of the Chinese Democratic Party in Flushing, New York on December 17, columnist Zhang Jie stated that China is currently entering a critical historical period known as a “century-changing event.” Zhang Jie analyzed the three crises that the Chinese Communist Party has faced since its establishment and believed that the current crisis during the era of Xi Jinping is one that the CCP “cannot endure.”
Wang Ruowang, who was once a revolutionary, sincerely hoped to establish a free and democratic China and initially placed his hopes in the Communist Party. However, upon realizing the CCP’s true nature as an evil political party, he immediately broke ties and became an opposition figure. Wang Ruowang pursued truth over power or fame throughout his life.
Having experienced numerous obstacles in pursuit of his ideals, Zhang Jie cautioned young members of the Chinese Democratic Party that the path of democracy is indeed arduous. He highlighted the emotional turmoil individuals may face, especially when confronted with decisions that could separate them from their homeland and loved ones, emphasizing that not everyone can endure such pain.
Zhang Jie emphasized the challenges faced by those who stand against the CCP, urging them not to bow down or collaborate out of fear. He pointed out the stark contrast between those who remain steadfast in their beliefs and those who choose to compromise their principles.
Analyzing the three crises that the CCP has overcome in the past, Zhang Jie noted how the Party managed to avert collapse during critical moments such as the end of the Cultural Revolution and the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre. However, he expressed doubt that the CCP could weather the current storm under Xi Jinping’s leadership, indicating that the Party is on a path towards decline.
On the economic front, Zhang Jie highlighted the challenging conditions faced by local economies in China, citing unusual practices such as temples lending money as a sign of the dire situation. He also criticized the shift in China’s diplomatic approach under Xi Jinping, moving towards confrontational tactics that have strained relations with Western powers and awakened a sense of vigilance in the United States.
As China navigates through this critical period, Zhang Jie encouraged the young members of the Chinese Democratic Party to rise up and stand against the CCP. He viewed opposition to the Communist Party as a noble endeavor, representing a duty towards the nation and global peace. Zhang Jie concluded by affirming that the struggle against the CCP is not only honorable but also a testament to the completion of a noble battle.
