[The Epoch Times, January 3, 2024](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Ning Haizhong and Luo Ya) Just as Taiwan’s general election is fierce, anti-Xi Jinping voices are heard within the Chinese Communist Party. Yuan Hongbing, a scholar with connections to people within the CCP system, broke the news that a large number of party insiders, with veteran second-generation red Liu Yuan as the core, planned an anti-Xi joint signature. One of the reasons for the purge of Rocket Army leader and Defense Minister Li Shangfu was participate.
Yuan Hongbing, a liberal jurist living in Australia, published an article on the front page of Taiwan’s “Liberty Times” on January 3, saying that according to reports from people of conscience within the CCP system, the second-generation red group with Liu Shaoqi’s son Liu Yuan as the core has reached a political consensus:
The first is to accuse Xi of completely betraying Deng Xiaoping’s reform and opening up line and regressing to the line of the Cultural Revolution in the ten years since he came to power. The most serious thing is that Xi is promoting a wartime system and preparing to launch a war in the Taiwan Strait;
Second, Xi Jinping destroyed the democratic centralism of the Communist Party of China, worsened the economy and people’s livelihood, and imminent social crisis. He engaged in wolf warrior diplomacy with other countries, and China became a public enemy in the system of developed countries;
The third is to propose reforming the CCP, transforming it into the Chinese Social Democratic Party, moving towards a democratic socialist parliamentary political system, abandoning the national policy of threatening Taiwan with force, and improving diplomacy.
This article stated that the second generation red generation who participated in the anti-Xi joint signature included Liu Yuan, Deng Pufang, Hu Deping, Chen Yuan, Ma Xiaoli, Luo Diandian, as well as the children of Ye Jianying, He Long, Xu Xiangqian, etc., including Bo Yibo’s children (except Bo Yibo’s children). Except for Bo Xilai in prison).
Liu Yuan once served as political commissar of the Academy of Military Sciences and political commissar of the General Logistics Department. During Xi’s first term, he was considered to be someone Xi “relyed on” in the military. He was originally considered to be a candidate for the Military Committee at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. However, in 2015, when he was less than 65 years old, he was transferred to the Financial and Economic Committee of the National People’s Congress for unknown reasons.
Yuan Hongbing’s revelations also claimed that a group of military generals who are considered confidants by Xi Jinping participated in the joint signature, as evidenced by Xi’s purge of the Rocket Force and Defense Minister Li Shangfu.
In late December 2023, nine generals from the Chinese Communist Party’s Rocket Force and other military services, and three senior military-industrial company executives were removed from their positions in the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, confirming rumors of their removal. Former Defense Minister Ri Sang-bok disappeared at the end of August last year and was dismissed from office in October for unknown reasons.
Yuan Hongbing said that this anti-Xi movement is an unprecedented political crisis that Xi has encountered since he took office. Xi is sitting on the edge of a volcano that is ready to explode. If Xi imitates Mao Zedong and once again carries out political persecution against these “second generation Reds”, it will inevitably ignite the anger within the CCP against Xi, and Xi will surely burn himself by playing with fire. Xi will lose power in a major crisis, and this is a black swan event for the CCP that is very likely to occur in 2024.
Yuan Hongbing did not explain when this joint signature campaign was launched. However, on November 1, 2023, Liu Yuan published an article to commemorate Liu Shaoqi’s birthday, mentioning that Liu Shaoqi emphasized that “democratic centralism” must be observed and “clearly opposes individual despotism…”; the rules established during the Deng Xiaoping period “do not allow for one-note speeches.” , “patriarchy”, “prohibition of any form of personality worship” and so on. The article was considered an unnamed criticism of Xi’s arbitrary actions.
Analysis: The Communist Party has committed many crimes, and some among the second generation red generation really want to reorganize themselves to help them escape life and death.
Chinese scholar Li Hengqing told The Epoch Times on January 3 that Liu Yuan was once Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption general in the military, but Xi asked him to retire early because Liu Yuan’s father had a much higher status than Xi’s father. It is said that Liu Yuan can be the crown prince, so Xi Jinping is afraid of him.
Li Hengqing said that because the Communist Party was originally a revolutionary party, Mao Zedong hoped to continue the revolution under socialist conditions to maintain political power. However, because the Communist Party has committed a lot of crimes and killed so many people during its more than seventy years in power, it will be very difficult for the Communist Party to survive after the great changes in society.
Li Hengqing said that because Xi Jinping began to purge some of the second generation red, it aroused opposition from the second generation red. The autocratic power exercised by Xi has made these second-generation red people desperate. In order to preserve their vested interests, they want to turn the CCP into a left-wing political party in the West, and finally turn it into a social democratic party to continue socialism, thus allowing the CCP to escape its final fate. Tribulation.
“This is possible. Some descendants of senior officials of the Chinese Communist Party that I know have this idea. Many people have it.”
Li Hengqing believes that if these people really have the opportunity to get together and finally launch a movement to overthrow Xi, they can get rid of Xi Jinping and his party members, including launching a military coup. But they can’t assemble now. Once assembled, they will be immediately purged. “I don’t think there’s a chance that these people can get together to do this. The possibility of forming a joint statement is very, very small.”
Scholar: Expecting the CCP to reform will not work
Regarding the aforementioned news that Liu Yuan took the lead in opposing Xi Jinping, Li Yuanhua, a historian living in Australia, told The Epoch Times on January 3 that this news is more like a wish from the outside world, because now it is the second generation of red people who can challenge Xi Jinping. He is a powerful person. But Liu Yuan has not always been in the army. He was originally in the local area. He was not the one who promoted the current group of people in the army. It is unlikely that they can be connected in series. Xi Jinping took great precautions when he came to power, and it was difficult for them to form a large-scale connection.
“But Deng Pufang was dissatisfied with Xi and made remarks, which can be seen; Liu Yuan was dissatisfied with Xi and made remarks, which can be seen. That is, a considerable number of people in the second generation of red are dissatisfied with Xi.”
Regarding the proposal of the Red Second Generation to transform the CCP reforms into the Chinese Social Democratic Party and move towards a democratic socialist parliamentary political system, Li Yuanhua said that even the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe abandoned the Communist Party in the end, and it is impossible for China to take the path of letting the CCP reform on the spot. .
“Whether it is the second generation of red people or other people, it is delusional if they still hope to find a reformed way to promote China’s democratization process. Moreover, this kind of voice has been made for decades, and it has been proved that it will not work at all.”
He said that if the CCP puts on the cloak of the so-called Social Democratic Party and changes its face, the crimes committed by the CCP in history will be covered up, and the evil spirit of the CCP will survive in disguise and continue to cause harm to the world.
