We are pleased to hear that the people of Shanghai, China, are shouting loud slogans during their protests: Xi Jinping step down! The Communist Party must step down!
From the mother’s suicide in a fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, to Tsinghua University female students holding up white paper in protest, the White Paper Revolution has shifted from a memorial event in Urumqi to a storm of resistance against lockdowns and freedom. This is the most milestone protest since June Fourth in 1989. From Peng Zaizhou’s protest at Sitong Bridge in Beijing, to the Foxconn workers’ riot in Zhengzhou, Henan, to the street speech by Superman Guy in Chongqing, and then to blank paper protests at over a hundred universities, the protests have swept across the country, igniting a prairie fire. The Chinese people awakened overnight, a prelude was raised, and the people no longer feared, with their anger directed directly at the heart of the CCP rulers.
At this point, the China Democratic Unity League solemnly declares:
- The Chinese people’s White Paper Revolution was a movement of courageous and wise young students and awakened people, with heartfelt outcry and resolute resistance.
- Better to die than to be free—this is the Chinese people’s bottom-line demand for innate human rights.
- Xi Jinping stepping down, the Communist Party stepping down—this is the clearest political demand of the Chinese people.
- The China Democratic United League will stand firmly with all the students and people resisting violence, fighting the Xi faction to the end.
- We call on people across the country to rise up and participate in and support the students’ White Paper Revolution in various forms.
- We call on the people of the entire country to launch various forms of non-cooperation campaigns against the Xi Group.
- We call on all anti-Xi forces within the Party to unite and stand with students and the people to fight against the Xi faction.
- We call on all military police and ‘Big White Fighters’ nationwide to raise their gun barrels by an inch, even turning their guns toward the Xi faction.
- We call on the U.S. government and Western political alliance to impose stricter political, economic, technological, and military sanctions on the Xi clique.
- We call on people around the world to give the most tangible support to the Chinese people’s struggle, both morally and economically.
- Finally, we call on Xi Jinping to lay down his butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot, end the CCP regime, follow history, follow the people, and follow the mandate of heaven.
The China Democratic Unity League calls on the broad masses of students to fight with the people with wisdom, not to fight desperately, to uphold the bottom line, unite all forces, build the broadest alliance, prioritize winning hearts first, attack cities secondhand, retreat when the enemy advances, strike when the enemy is weary, harass when the enemy camps, quit while ahead, persevere, preserve strength, and jointly create a new China of freedom, democracy, rule of law, and human rights.
