(Clearwisdom.net) On September 12, 2005 in Sydney, a forum about the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" entitled, "China is at a crossroads, and so is Hu Jintao," was hosted by the Epoch Times newspaper. At the forum, Mr. Hao Fengjun, former Class I Police Superintendent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), talked about shows that the CCP stages to welcome its leaders. Mr. Hao also said, "If Hu Jintao sticks to the ways of the CCP, he will be headed for destruction."
Regarding Hu's recent trip to North America, some media outlets reported that the CCP hired Chinese students and other people overseas to form a welcoming crowd for Hu and the Chinese delegation. Mr. Hao commented that he did not know about the situation overseas as much as Mr. Chen Yonglin [a former Chinese diplomat in Sydney who recently defected to Australia], yet he had some similar experiences when he was in China. The CCP has always created scenes showing that people "support and welcome" their leaders and the party. In fact, the leaders of the CCP are afraid to get in touch with the people. Lower ranking officials try to please their superiors by creating a false "warm welcome" and deceiving everyone.
Emptying the Street, Police Play the Role of Residents
Mr. Hao said, "Leaders of the CCP are protected at different levels by the police when they go to visit any place. For example, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau are protected at Level I, which is the highest level of protection; members of the Political Bureau are protected at Level II. Level I protection involves emptying all the streets, ordering residents occupying buildings along the designated streets to close all windows (if windows are opened, the police will not be responsible for any consequences), and on top of the buildings, snipers are placed."
Mr. Hao said that he participated in the protection of Hu Jintao between 1995 and 1996. At that time, Hu was the Vice Chairman of the CCP and he was visiting Tianjin City on an inspection trip of the city's police force. Hu was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau. He was also the leader of the next generation appointed directly by Deng Xiaoping. Because Hu was a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, he was protected at Level I. Mr. Hao was a criminal police staff member and he was responsible for protecting Hu when Hu was in his city. The local police stations were protecting him on the periphery, and traffic patrol police were further outside.
Hu Jintao went to a wealthy community named Xiangcuili to visit the "residents" there. The "residents" whom Hu visited were relatives of the Governor of Heping District. Mr. Hao and his colleagues were protecting Hu right next to him. He recalled, "Hu was walking in the front, and we followed him. I saw many people waving to Hu on the both sides of the street. They were mostly between 40 and 50 years old, with some older ladies. I was surprised to find that those people were all veteran police staff members that I knew, and they were not from the community. Because I knew them, I asked one of them, "Hi, How come you are here too?" He replied, "Oh, we were told to come here to welcome Hu." I asked him again, "Do you live here?" He said, "No way, do you think I've got the kind of money to live here?" Mr. Hao concluded to the audience at the forum that such phenomena are prevalent in China.
Director of the Community Committee Sold Pork at a Much Cheaper Price In Order to Please the Superiors
Mr. Hao related an anecdote during Hu Jintao's visit to Tianjin City. Near the residential area Hu visited, there was a farmer's market. Hu went to visit the market, which was not completely closed, and some people were buying vegetables there. A director of the community committee acted as an ordinary merchant and talked with Hu. The director of the community said, "Our pork price is really reasonable, and it's only about 2 yuan a pound." At the time, the pork price in Tianjin City was about 7 yuan a pound. Upon hearing that, many people gathered around the pork vendor and wanted to buy the cheap pork, asking for 1 or 2 dozen pounds. Mr. Hao was there at the time. When they discovered the crowd, it had become too big for them to dissipate. Hu only stayed there for about half a minute. After he left, the local police asked all the residents who bought the cheap pork to return the pork to the vendor. The "2 yuan a pound" was only a show for Hu.
Leaders of the CCP Dare Not Get Close to the Common People
Mr. Hao continued to say that when former U.S. President Bill Clinton visited Xian City in China, he walked outside the protected area [the area protected by the Chinese police]. He was not surrounded by CIA agents, and he walked to the crowd of people and picked up a child and held the child in his arms. The incident was used as a case study for the police force.
Mr. Hao added that especially in the U.S. and Canada, which are democratic countries, leaders of the government will not be attacked when they meet and listen to those who disagree with them. The situation in which the leader of a country requires the complete silencing of differing voices around him or her could only exist in the CCP. In China, even the mayor of Tianjin City dares not stand among the average people, or people would throw bricks at him since many of them have lost their jobs or were victims of local corruption.
Officials from Department No. 2 of Headquarters of the General Staff of the CCPLA (Chinese Communist Party People's Liberation Army) Said the CCP Will Launch a War Against Taiwan
Mr. Hao said that he had some hope in Hu Jintao before, but after watching the news of Hu visiting Canada, he now has a different opinion.
Before the Nine Commentaries Forum, he watched the news of Hu visiting Canada. He was planning to make a suggestion to Hu through the forum. Mr. Hao even wrote an article in which he said, "I hope to see the Gorbachev of China, who will abandon the CCP and build a new party, and lead China toward democracy and freedom." He added, "China is at a crossroads. If Hu chooses to change direction, then it will be a fresh start, and China will have hope. If Hu persists in the ways of the CCP, he will lead the 60 million CCP members and all other people in China toward an abyss."
After he watched the news (of Hu visiting Canada) on TV, Mr. Hao realized both the good and the bad of the matter. The good thing is that he was able to see Hu clearly on the TV news program. Hu stood right next to Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin while he expressed in a very strong manner that he hoped the government of Canada would not interfere with China's internal affairs on the issue of Taiwan. He emphasized that if Taiwan claimed independence, the Chinese government would do this and that. As other media reported that Hu delivered the message of launching a war against Taiwan, Mr. Hao said that Hu wanted to use the war against Taiwan to instigate Chinese people's emotion of nationalism, to consolidate his ruling position and extend the life of the CCP. He was utilizing the sentimentality of Chinese people against the independence of Taiwan to control them, and instigating national hatred.
Mr. Hao said, "Most Chinese people do not know that Jiang Zemin had ceded huge areas of land in north China to other countries and most Taiwanese do not know the true nature of the CCP. They thus harbor illusions that the CCP is the same as the Kuomintang, which moved toward democracy under the voice of the people."
Mr. Hao then explained the bad side in his view: Hu revealed his determination to attack Taiwan in his speech while visiting Canada. He displayed his evil side. People have imagined and expected that Hu was simply steeling himself for a future revenge that should eliminate his political enemy, namely the Shanghai political gang in the CCP.
Hao also said that he was in touch with many people who work in Department No. 2 of the Headquarters of the General Staff of the CCPLA, which is the head of the CCP's intelligence system. They think that the CCP would certainly go to war with Taiwan. Mr. Hao commented, "I think that the CCP will be doomed when it goes to war with Taiwan."
