Chinese society is rapidly brewing an unprecedented nationwide anti-dictatorship movement. "Real China"

This episode explores the current phenomenon of mass gatherings of ordinary people in Chinese society. Host Hu Liren uses the example of a Guangxi mall owner who jumped to his death after receiving an exorbitant fine to point out that small merchants face operating difficulties and live on the brink of life and death. He then mentions the Anhui landfill incident, illustrating how ordinary people took to the streets in anger, ultimately forcing the government to cancel the project. Hu Liren believes that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) fears mass gatherings of ordinary people the most, and compares the living conditions of ordinary people during the reform and opening‑up period with those now, emphasizing that today’s grassroots citizens have no way out but to rise in resistance. He also uses Shenzhen shared‑rental housing as an example to depict the hardships of the lower‑class population. Finally, Hu Liren points out that the root of all social problems lies in Xi Jinping and the Communist Party, that Chinese society is brewing a massive anti‑Xi, anti‑CCP movement, and argues that the tighter Xi’s control, the weaker his control ability becomes, and ultimately the public’s discontent will explode.

Hello everyone. In the past two days, mass gatherings of ordinary people have appeared across various parts of China. Of course, the flashpoints differ by region, and the causes differ as well. For example, in a city in Guangxi, a very large incident broke out a couple of days ago. In a mall, a shop owner may have been non‑compliant in his operations and ran into trouble. The mall and local government gave him an astronomically high fine, making it impossible for him to continue operating. Now ordinary people who run small businesses find it hard to survive; they calculate every day's earnings. When a shop suddenly closes, decades of effort can vanish. These people live in China, many ordinary citizens are struggling between life and death. They gamble their whole family's lives on a single business. In this situation, the person jumped from the mall’s upper floor and died on the spot. Ordinary people have had enough. Today’s ordinary people are full of resentment. Hearing this news, thinking that they are also in such an environment, who would want to live like that? No one does. Everyone started gathering, and once gathered they began to resist. The local government sent people to maintain stability. This situation is now very common. Not long ago, a big incident also occurred in Anhui involving a landfill; such incidents provoked public anger. Ordinary people took to the streets, confronted the local government, and the matter escalated with massive gatherings. Eventually the local government cancelled the project. Similar cases are abundant across the country. What does the CCP fear most now? It fears ordinary people gathering. Moreover, once ordinary people gather, you cannot suppress them without them turning against you. Because today’s ordinary people are different from those during the reform and opening‑up period. During that period, although the overall economy was not great and people lived in a gray area near the poverty line, they could still see hope, knowing that China’s economy was still moving upward and that they could earn money through hard work. Living in a poor area, they could move elsewhere, go to Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou to find work, and still have a way out. They could sell their house and survive elsewhere. There was still a way out back then.

Now the whole of China's ordinary people, the most pitiful are those at the bottom. If you want to be in a big city, or an ordinary medium‑sized city, the rich have millions or tens of millions, what are they afraid of? They are not afraid at all. Their children can be sent abroad, they can retire there, and if that doesn’t work they can go to a remote mountain forest to retire. Some have money, some have pensions, a few thousand yuan a month saved frugally is enough to get by. But middle‑aged people have it much harder, with elders above and children below. Children are sent to government schools, daily indoctrinated with Xi Jinping thought, pumped with CCP propaganda. Many children have already become little fools, wearing red scarves, shouting “Grandpa Xi” every day. The children don’t understand; whatever you tell them they repeat: “The Communist Party is good, the Communist Party is good.” Now the parents hate the Communist Party, while the Party continues to deceive their children in school. Their parents can’t even afford medical care; when they fall ill, people die. In the countryside the monthly pension is only one or two hundred yuan. Xi Jinping, after the earthquake in Venezuela, immediately sends out several hundred million. When Iran has problems and is hit, a huge amount is sent there as “international humanitarian aid.” Where is humanitarian aid most needed? In China. Those ordinary people, you may find it hard to understand, but in many vast rural areas of China, when the elderly get sick they just wait to die there. They don’t let their children see; they find a spot on a mountain, build a shack, go down each week to get food, buy meat, go back up and set up a stove to cook themselves. The water they drink is from a big jar because there is no water on the mountain; in many southern regions the rainy season brings rain, they drink the water from the jar, living almost like primitives. Why do they do this? Because they wait a week for me to come, and if I die they come to collect the body; the coffin is already prepared there. Think about it, Chinese ordinary people have reached this point.

Therefore, a nationwide movement is now brewing on a massive scale. Everyone hates the Communist Party, and society’s hatred for the Party has reached a breaking point. Why are so many people banding together to demand a voice and speak out for these people? Everyone already understands that the hardships these people face today could happen to anyone at any time. This is the current state of China. It’s not only other cities; big cities are the same—Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Shenzhen are all alike. Ordinary people have no way out. In Shenzhen the housing vacancy rate has reached sixty percent, already below half. After the pandemic the entire real‑estate market has not recovered. There used to be many so‑called “second landlords” in Shenzhen. What is a second landlord? They buy a house, say eight million yuan, don’t manage it themselves, and rent it to a sub‑landlord for five thousand yuan a month. The sub‑landlord does simple renovations, partitions it again, and rents it to migrant workers in Shenzhen as shared housing. I once visited a shared house in Shanghai; it was truly terrifying. A twelve‑square‑meter room housing three people, each with about three square meters, just a bed and a small rack for clothes. The layout is relatively efficient, separated by boards. At night one person’s snoring can be heard throughout the room. How extreme are these shared houses? Chinese ordinary people are truly suffering. Showers require queuing because a room has only two bathrooms for more than ten people. A room with three women is like one bed that can only accommodate one person. The air is bad. Imagine a house meant for two or three people now housing ten or more; the second landlord wants money. He rents a bare house for five thousand yuan a month, spends tens of thousands on renovation, then rents out individual units for two thousand yuan each. Ten or more people can bring in over twenty thousand yuan, plus management costs, electricity, water, which he covers. It’s an all‑inclusive deal. For the workers it makes sense: a salary of six thousand yuan, two thousand for rent, one thousand for living expenses, leaving three thousand to save. These are the rural people I mentioned; they still have a way to survive. Now there is no way out, no retreat.

When there is no way out, what can be done? Only to rise up and fight back, only to resist the violence. So Chinese people, now the vast majority of ordinary citizens have no way out; the only path is to resist the violence, to fight against Xi Jinping’s tyranny. Who is ultimately responsible for all of China’s social problems? It is Xi Jinping, it is the Communist Party. In this situation, everyone can only go up. Whenever a city experiences social problems, people gather, under this pretext, actually challenging the Communist Party, challenging Xi Jinping. As more and more people gather, the whole nation will erupt, a nationwide outbreak. So it is anti-CCP, anti-Xi, and that is how it will be. Resist the dictatorship. In the future, slogans will often be seen on the streets and online, with people holding signs: "Down with the Communist Party, down with Xi Jinping." Others will curse Xi Jinping, even curse his mother. This is happening in many places in China. Everyone knows that all current social problems in society can be traced back to one person, a dictator: Xi Jinping. Therefore, the entire Chinese society is brewing a massive anti-Xi, anti-CCP movement, a large-scale campaign that is rapidly taking shape. It is waiting for a major flashpoint. Xi Jinping is now very scared—what is he afraid of? He fears a sudden large-scale incident that he cannot control. Xi, remember, the stricter his control, the weaker his actual ability to control the country. The weaker he is, the more the public will truly express their will. If a person's prestige is deeply rooted in public opinion, and everyone supports him, he has nothing to fear. Like Deng Xiaoping at the time, who traveled without heavy security, did not need many guards, could even shake hands with ordinary people without many actors. Xi Jinping is completely different now; everything is staged. This reflects the growing dissatisfaction of the entire society, the whole nation, over ten hundred million citizens toward Xi Jinping, which could erupt at any time. We hope that day comes soon. We hope someone will ignite the flame of anti-Xi, anti-CCP across the country. Well, that’s all for this program. Thank you for watching.
