Why Millions Are Abandoning the Chinese Communist Party

More than 166 million Chinese people have declared that they quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its related organizations.

This tide of withdrawals, known as the Tuidang movement, began after the CCP started persecuting Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa), a Chinese spiritual practice based on truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. Since 1999, the CCP has been harassing, imprisoning, torturing, and killing Falun Gong practitioners for their beliefs.

As a result, many Chinese people no longer wish to belong to the violent Party.  Falun Gong practitioners have been helping these people Tuidang (quit the CCP).

“Many in China who quit said they did so after understanding the party’s crimes throughout history, and they do not want to have blood on their hands,” the Epoch Times newspaper explained.

People who want to renounce the CCP can make their declaration using their real names or pseudonyms through the New York-based Tuidang Center, which keeps track of the number of people who have quit.  The current number according to the Tuidang website is 166,487,382, which is 90,417 more than it was yesterday.

At the recent World Falun Dafa Day celebration in New York, many Chinese people took the opportunity to quit the CCP, the Epoch Times reported.  Over 1,000 Falun Gong practitioners held a rally there to raise awareness of the persecution, celebrate the May 13 anniversary of Falun Gong’s founding, and help people quit the Party.

“The practitioners are passionate and kind,” said Mr. Huang, who quit the CCP that day, according to the Epoch Times.

“It’s different from the information we had in China. I think Falun Gong is good; I think truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance is good. I want more people to know about this.”
