Since the publication of the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," the question of membership in the CCP has taken center stage in China's everyday affairs.
Responding to the erosion of allegiance to the CCP, the government launched a "Maintaining the Advancements of the Party" campaign in attempts to re-energize it.
Following a mid-February meeting at the Central Chinese Communist Party School, top level cadres sent 58 Central Communist Party Monitor Task Force to cover all of China's provinces. They set out to organize the party cadres in every city, to study the CCP charter, and re-pledge the vows they made when joining the CCP. This has even become headline news in China's state-run media.
A retired cadre from the Chinese military industry named Mr. Zhang said, "I heard official notices have been passed down in the nuclear industry and the committee of defense technology as well as the military industry saying that people like us, by no means, can be allowed to resign from the CCP, even though we have already stopped turning in our CCP membership fees. I feel it is almost like the mafia now. One can enter but cannot exit?it is just like an underground mafia."

Throughout the country the government is encouraging its members to pledge their loyalty all over again in response to the "tuidang," Chinese for "withdrawal." As the resignations continue unabated it is reported that party officials have even gone so far as to force invalids and sick individuals to step forward and reaffirm their loyalty.
One official party researcher said, "Perhaps it is true that those of us who work in the heart of the CCP know and understand the nature of the CCP most clearly… currently, my colleagues and I just regard this so-called 'Maintaining the Advancement' as purely a 'show and joke; done in a very serious way'."
The rallying cries to "re-invest" in the CCP's ideology appear not to be stemming the tide of resignations.
A typical withdrawal statement: "Today, despite risk to my personal safety, I want to declare my withdrawal from the Communist Youth League."
Another, from a police officer: "I've perceived the various evil deeds committed by the CCP and its regime, with no desire to wallow in the mire with it. After reading the 'Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,' I suddenly became enlightened in my heart. Therefore, I declare my resignation from the Chinese Communist Party, the Communist Youth League and the Communist Young Pioneers."
Those resigning from the CCP want others to know that they are resigning. The published statements sometimes include telephone numbers. Statements are posted in public places, such as the red notice pasted on a wall in Jilin as reported last week. The tide continues to rise.
Ping!

"I can understand that many folks have grown cynical about CCP. That is the first step to its death."
But in its place something far more sinister could arise.
Yeah, well, I'll take my chances!! ;)
Or their own.. do not think for one minute that Crackdowns could not again happen in China.
