Resolution and Signatures on Demanding Comrade Xi Jinping to Resign from His Leadership Roles in Party, Government, and Military
(Jennifer’s note: Here is the full English translation of the petition letter I mentioned that was sent to Cai Shenkun’s email in this program. This letter publicly calls for Xi Jinping to step down.)
Since taking on leadership roles in the party, government, and military, Comrade Xi Jinping has exhibited numerous serious problems and grave shortcomings, which have caused significant harm to the country, its people, and the entire party:
In managing the nation and economy, he has adopted extremely left-leaning practices, including overly emphasizing public ownership, promoting state advancement and private retreat, which have undermined market fairness, suppressed private enterprises, including forcing companies like Tencent and Alibaba to submit under investigations, fines, and other forms of suppression, and excessively intervening in the economy, causing everyone to feel constrained and lacking investment enthusiasm, leading to a significant decline in the vitality of the national economy.
Incompetent in governance. Without thoroughly investigating and analyzing problems, rushing for quick results, making numerous misguided decisions that have devastated industries; sectors like real estate, education, finance, and online platforms have all suffered from his harsh, irrational, and excessive interventions that violate market principles, leading to severe impacts, massive losses, or even bankruptcy, with industries withering rapidly.
Recklessly causing trouble and wasting resources. Ignoring the people's hardship while pursuing grandiose projects, investing unlimitedly in infrastructure, including inefficiently pouring huge sums into projects like the Xiong'an New Area, and spending lavishly on the Belt and Road Initiative projects worldwide.
Violating the principles of separation between party and government, and between politics and business. Overemphasizing party leadership, demanding party control over everything with absolute decision-making power, including administrative affairs of the government and affairs of enterprises and institutions, even forcibly requiring private businesses to establish party organizations under party control.
Destroying the term limits for leadership. Ignoring the lessons learned from painful historical experiences that led to the establishment of term limits, he forcibly amended the constitution to allow himself indefinite terms. This has regressed the national system, making power unchecked by term limits, leading the country into a dangerous situation prone to authoritarianism, and causing both domestic and international loss of confidence in our government's system, isolating and alienating China from the world, losing opportunities for global integration and development.
Undermining the principle of democratic centralism, engaging in personal authoritarian dictatorship. Overemphasizing power centralization and core authoritarian leadership, severely weakening democratic decision-making, not adhering to the principle that the minority should submit to the majority, individuals to the organization, by intimidating subordinates to monopolize all power, not tolerating or allowing any constraints, reaching the pinnacle of authoritarianism, thereby implementing many wrong personal decisions. At present, the whole country and party are essentially under his one-man rule, with other Standing Committee members being mere decorations, monopolizing media coverage, rarely allowing other members visibility, even turning collegial relationships into a monarch-subject dynamic.
Promoting personal cult. Ignoring the great disasters personal cults have brought to the party and the country, directing subordinates to sing his praises, pretending to understand and guide various affairs, demanding that all levels adhere to his words as golden rules and spend a lot of time studying them, and allowing many ghostwriters to publish books under his name for widespread distribution both domestically and internationally.
Disrupting political order and norms. Seizing power, appointing loyalists and sycophants, forming cliques, repeatedly undermining political order and norms, causing a significant regression in China's nascent political civilization.
Seriously damaging unity within and outside the party, and undermining united front work. Instead of uniting more people, he often suppresses others, making enemies everywhere.
.Attempting to achieve comprehensive control over everyone. To act more freely, he tries to revive the governance model from the Cultural Revolution to control people economically and administratively, including promoting the Fengqiao Experience, mass movements, public ownership, communal canteens, collective economy, supply and marketing cooperatives, and relocating enterprises for war preparation. He uses high-tech surveillance like cameras and communication apps with big data and AI to monitor everyone's lives, including senior officials and retired leaders. He has also introduced draconian laws like the National Security Law, Anti-Espionage Law, Secrecy Law, and Internet Regulation Law to control and suppress the populace.
Incompetence and errors in controlling the COVID-19 outbreak have led to numerous deaths and enormous economic losses. Initial concealment led to loss of control, followed by excessive quarantine causing many infections and deaths, then excessive personnel isolation and mass nucleic acid testing consumed vast resources, locking down people and making life unbearable, and finally, sudden lifting of restrictions leading to widespread infection and many deaths.
In diplomacy, lacking integrity, morality, and rule of law. Supporting aggressors, terrorists, and tyrannical regimes worldwide, causing China's isolation and sanctions, leading countries to reduce purchases of Chinese products, increase tariffs, and foreign investments and companies to withdraw, severely impacting national economic development and destroying many people's livelihoods.
Violating the strategy of keeping a low profile, souring relations with many countries, damaging China's favorable international development environment. Pursuing an aggressive anti-Western line, not resolving conflicts, seeking common ground while shelving differences, or coexisting peacefully with Western countries, instead promoting "Wolf Warrior" diplomacy emphasizing struggle, provoking conflicts, making enemies with many countries and engaging in trade wars with the U.S., aiming for global dominance and control, severely violating the strategy of lying low and making friends with all, putting China in the worst, most disadvantageous development situation.
Selling out the country for personal glory. To please other nations, he often generously offers financial aid, spending lavishly during visits and receptions, even through profit concessions, ceding territory, and appeasing through agreements, transferring China's wealth and land to other countries.
Destroying Hong Kong's democracy, freedom, and rule of law, causing Hong Kong to lose its prosperity, with industries and population fleeing; his aggressive approach to reunify Taiwan through threats has alienated the people of Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, causing immeasurable damage to national integration and unity. The harsh anti-independence laws he promoted have scared away many Taiwanese businesses and talents from the mainland.
In social management, emphasizing stability maintenance over addressing and resolving issues. Instead of solving problems and coordinating contradictions, he emphasizes forceful stability, resulting in high costs and poor outcomes.
Lacking empathy, not understanding or addressing public concerns, and showing no humanity. Frequently issuing policies disconnected from reality and overly harsh, such as destroying people's properties and homes under the guise of protecting mountains, waters, and farmland, forcibly evicting low-end populations for the safety of Beijing, or claiming to clear social residues for a new society, arbitrarily locking down people under the pretext of epidemic control, often leading to public distress and widespread complaints. He insists on rigid, one-size-fits-all policy enforcement, ignoring the complex local situations and historical reasons.
Driven by a thirst for power. Controlling everything, establishing numerous "groups" above government agencies, intervening in affairs at will. Amending the constitution for indefinite terms and using the epidemic as an excuse for long-term, strict lockdowns to prevent opposition to his re-election.
Arbitrary and intolerant of dissent. Not good at listening to or considering others' opinions, ignoring public sentiment, not allowing criticism or commentary, labeling well-meaning suggestions as "irresponsible remarks" and punishing them harshly. Creating a one-man show, not tolerating advice, punishing advisors, prohibiting opposition, blocking criticism, censoring the internet, restricting freedom of speech, suppressing bloggers and active netizens, arresting human rights lawyers and dissidents, making the whole society silent, with all channels of expression cut off, leading to poor decision-making, unaddressed issues accumulating, and worsening governance in all aspects.
Vain, stubborn, and never admitting mistakes, even when facing a wall. Believing himself to be the greatest contributor to the nation, unmatched in capability, and a once-in-a-millennium emperor.
Narrow-minded, cruel, often pushing people to despair or death over minor disagreements, using espionage, anti-corruption, or tax audits to widely attack opponents, making everyone feel insecure.
Lacking steadiness, with a volatile temper. Decisions often made without careful consideration of consequences, frequently made in anger, leading to irrational decisions.
Lacking the spirit of the rule of law. Substituting party for government, bypassing legal procedures in decision-making, acting unilaterally, enforcing special treatments, often punishing companies and dissenters based on personal whims, causing Fujikura, Alibaba, and NVIDIA to suffer from his displeasure, leading to reduced or withdrawn investments in China. Entrepreneur Sun Dawu was arrested for criticizing the suppression of human rights lawyers, while netizens like Niu Tengyu were heavily sentenced for sharing Xi's and his family's ID information. Also, establishing the Tax Police Combat Center, aiming to imitate the land redistribution of past eras for tax collection through combat-like operations.
Psychologically twisted, with severe envy of the wealthy. Under the guise of common prosperity, attacking the wealthy, stripping assets, causing many elites and wealthy individuals to emigrate with significant capital, leading to a drain on national wealth and undermining the economy.
Unscrupulous in methods, including purges, threats, torture, and assassinations for power struggles, allegedly orchestrating events like the Tianjin explosion and multiple fires in Shanghai for political battles.
Habitually fabricating and lying constantly. Often covering up problems, demanding all levels to beautify the situation and pretend peace even when issues are severe.
Stubbornly rejecting new ideas, acting against democracy. Denying and firmly rejecting political reform, going against the global democratic tide (including the "Seven Don'ts" which prohibit discussing universal values, civil society, press freedom, civil rights, historical errors of the party, the privileged class, and press freedom).
Completely disregarding the interests of the country and its people, prioritizing personal power security (which he calls political security). Sacrificing national interests and affecting people's livelihood for his personal power and historical legacy. Showing no regard for the lives and property of the populace, casually trampling them, feeling no compassion as people commit suicide or are violently suppressed, believing these are normal or acceptable outcomes. Such a person is clearly unfit to lead the party, government, and military.
Under his misguided policies, China's economy has significantly declined and stagnated, industries have withered, the treasury is empty, the country faces internal and external challenges, both officials and civilians suffer, with domestic and foreign capital completely disillusioned and losing all hope for the future, leading to a downturn in investment and consumption, further economic depression. Countless people have lost their means of livelihood, becoming refugees, with cries of despair and complaints echoing across the land, businesses collapsing, people jobless and desperate, some even driven to suicide or violent acts against society out of frustration.
He is entirely incompetent, causing catastrophic impacts in politics, economy, diplomacy, and military, leading to severe socio-economic, social, political, and Taiwan Strait crises. China's economy is irreversibly deteriorating, with public hardship, the national finance on the brink of bankruptcy, public resentment boiling, officials becoming passive, and a full-blown societal crisis imminent.
He is as backward as Wang Mang, as grandiose as Yang Guang, as obstinate as Chongzhen, as ignorant and arrogant as Xianfeng, and as disastrous as Cixi, unfit to continue as the leader of the nation.
He is the root of China's current chaos, and with every day he remains in power, the country and its people suffer more; if allowed to continue, China will descend into an irredeemable abyss. He must be removed from office as soon as possible.
Almost everyone in the nation, from officials to civilians, would rejoice in his downfall, with the military and police ready to turn against him. We hereby demand his immediate resignation from all leadership roles and to apologize to the nation.
We also demand that the country uses this opportunity to abandon the current system prone to autocracy, establishing a new democratic republic society where everyone can enjoy a free and open life.
