(Minghui.org) After Jiang Zemin, the former dictator of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), died, the money he embezzled must have been left to his children and grandchildren. But for China as a country, what he left us was the unprecedented degeneration of morality and devastating human rights abuses.
After gaining a strong foothold in the CCP’s central power circle by ordering the suppression of protesting students in 1989, Jiang continued his trajectory to become top leader of the CCP in 1993. For the next decade, he kept expanding his power, enriched his family, and plunged the Chinese nation into a moral abyss.
During Jiang’s decades of reign, he ruled the country with corruption, deceit, and violence. His own promiscuity also set a bad example for countless government officials and others.
With traditional culture and values deemed outdated, the Chinese people were no longer polite or civilized. From the elderly to the younger generation, including well-educated young women, swear words become a common part of their everyday language, with no one feeling that it’s inappropriate.
Jiang upheld the one-child policy in 2001, even after the fertility rate dropped from 2.3 children per woman in 1990 to 1.22 in 2000. Appalling slogans such as “Rather shed blood into rivers than allow a single extra baby to be born” appeared in public places, turning the country into a killing machine and leading to a declining population and a major gender imbalance (a much larger proportion of men than women).
As a part of “stability control” and covering up the regime’s crimes, Jiang ordered the creation of the Golden Shield project, which strictly censors the Internet and monitors the online activities of billions of Chinese netizens.
Meanwhile, certain prisoners and college graduates were mobilized to become the “50-Cent Army,” posting propaganda online to brainwash the public and whitewash the CCP’s crimes.
Such brainwashing efforts led to the emergence of the “Little Pinks,” younger folks born after the 1990s. They took on the vices of corruption and material indulgence as normal, and worshipped the CCP for “giving them everything.”
Jiang’s most gory legacy is the persecution of Falun Gong and his three directives, “Defame their [practitioners’] reputation, destroy their bodies, and bankrupt them financially.” With Jiang’s backing, the police, military, and hospitals worked as a pipeline to harvest the organs of living Falun Gong practitioners, and the regime raked in astronomical profits from the atrocity.
Even after Jiang stepped down, the forced organ harvesting continues and has further grown to target the Uyghurs and even the general public, especially high school and college students. Similarly, the “Zero-COVID” policy is also the expansion to the general public of the eradication policy against Falun Gong practitioners.
Every time the CCP launches a political campaign, it targets a select group and instigates the rest of the country to attack the target. At the end of the day, no Chinese will be spared being targeted. From the victims of floods and droughts caused by the CCP’s disastrous policies, to the babies who died from drinking melamine-laced milk – all of these tragedies rest on Jiang’s legacy of ruthlessness, ferocity, and unscrupulousness.
With Jiang’s death, it’s time for we Chinese people to speak up for ourselves and reclaim the true legacy of our 5,000 years of Chinese divinely-inspired civilization – and wake up from the nightmare of communism.
