(Clearwisdom.net) Since the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published in the end of 2004, it has led to a movement in China of ordinary citizens declaring withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliate organizations. As of August 7, 2011, the total number of withdrawals reached over 100 million. Some politicians in the Czech Republic expressed their support of the peaceful movement.
Roman Joch, Adviser on foreign affairs and human rights for the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic
Roman Joch, Adviser on foreign affairs and human rights for the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, said that he admired the courage of the 100 million Chinese people who have quit CCP and its affiliated organizations. He said, “First, I appreciate and support their effort. China’s future must be theirs, not for the current system. China has ancient culture and magnificent civilization. It will have a bright future, a country with freedom.”
He continued, “The current system in China is the biggest violent regime. It controls the biggest population. I commend the people who quit the CCP. They have courage to do so. I support people who take such a stand and I admire them.”
Senator Pavel Eybert
Senator Pavel Eybert also expressed his support of the movement to quit the CCP. He said, “Such a large scale withdrawal is the right thing to do. It should be done under the current situation.”
Senator Tomas Grulich
Senator Tomas Grulich said, “Generally speaking, the communist party is evil. It has lasted longer than fascism. Thus, the number of victims is far more than those who died under fascist rule. I support the withdrawals. I admire them and their courage.”
Jan Rericha, Chairman of Art without Borders
Jan Rericha, Chairman of Art without Borders, believes that non-violent means has huge potential. He said, “Any means to mitigate the regime's power is welcomed. In 1989, our Czech students went to the streets under the ideal of non-violence. Such action is now appearing in China. I believe it will succeed.”
Daniel Herman, Director of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes
Daniel Herman, Director of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, said, “I think that it is an encouraging step for 100 million people to quit CCP. It means that people renounce the party, which is full of violence and state terrorism. I am not an expert on current China, but I know it to some extent. I think the peaceful means of withdrawal from CCP is an elegant way. It fits China very well.” He also said that human rights should be placed as a higher priority over the economy. He said, “It is wrong for the CCP to use trade as a pretext to infringe upon human rights. Human rights and dignity are fundamental values.”
