Beijing was full of armed police and military security forces on Nov. 8, for the opening ceremony of the 18th Party Congress. Military engineers checked for landmines in the lawn in front of the Great Hall of the People on the western side of Tiananmen Square, and 1.4 million volunteers added to security forces.

Party head Hu Jintao delivered a report on behalf of the 17th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which sparked a hot Internet discussion on the Party’s demise.

The report’s essential idea was that the party “will neither take the old path of developing a closed country in a rigid and doctrinaire way, nor take the wrong course of building China into a capitalist state,” the Southern Metropolis Weekly magazine reported.

A flurry of skeptical Internet responses ensued.

Mang Fu of Shanghai wrote that he believes the Chinese regime is traveling down a one-way path.

A netizen called “Tired Penguin” from Guangdong Province wrote, “There is … perhaps no way to go.” A person from Shanghai wrote, “They got lost.”

Nikko from Huizhou City of Guangdong Province wrote, “Enjoying the time left,” implying that the end of CCP rule is imminent.
