Mr. Yang Shuoying, representative of the Global Service Center for Quitting the Party, talked about the evil history of the CCP in his speech. He said: “Since Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, millions of Chinese people have quit the party. The trends shows that the CCP will inevitably crash. Nothing can save it.”
Mr. Cai Lujun, representative of the China Democracy Party, Taiwan Chamber, said: “Falun Gong practitioners have made the CCP shake. Falun Gong is the group that I admire and support the most, because it has contributed to human rights in China the most.” Mr. Cai said that the CCP is trying to control Hong Kong and Macau, and also trying to infiltrate into Taiwan.
