Chapter 1: China and the Communist Party of China
2.4. CCP-3
The Totalitarian Rule of the CCP
The totalitarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) does not stop at digital totalitarianism over Chinese society; it extends to ruthless ethnic cleansing against minority groups. The CCP propagates that China is a country of 56 ethnic groups, including the Han Chinese, and that it represents the interests of all these ethnicities.
However, in reality, the CCP is ruthlessly carrying out ethnic cleansing and religious eradication, particularly against the Uyghur and Tibetan populations, while forcibly promoting Han assimilation. Millions of Uyghur men are imprisoned in so-called “vocational schools,” which are, in fact, forced labor camps.
Women are forcibly married to Han Chinese men or forced to abort fetuses conceived by Uyghurs. Uyghur women are also sexually assaulted by Han Chinese men in a process referred to as “Han seed-sowing,” eradicating the minority group. Children born to ethnic minorities are forcibly taken from their parents at an early age and sent to boarding schools where they are brainwashed into CCP ideology and taught to identify as part of the Chinese nation.
To destroy traditional religions, religious facilities are demolished, religious books are confiscated and burned, clergy are forcibly converted, and CCP collaborators are put in place as religious figures. This is known as the “patriotic religion” (CCP-controlled religion) policy. Based on these efforts, the CCP has recently begun to eradicate the traditional languages, religions, and cultures of Mongols, Koreans, and Hui Muslims, forcing them into brainwashing education.
Religious and Ideological Control
Over the General Chinese Population
What about the CCP’s policies aimed at eradicating religion and values among the general Chinese population? The CCP seeks to make itself the object of religious devotion, that is, a religion in itself. This is a common characteristic of all communist (socialist) parties around the world. They promote the idea that “religion is the opium of the people,” while simultaneously suppressing all religions. The CCP does not recognize any belief outside of itself. While it publicly conducts a “patriotic religion” policy regarding Christianity (Protestantism, Catholicism), Buddhism, Taoism, and Islam, it effectively turns these religions into an ideological loyalty to the CCP, transforming them into forms of belief in the Party.
This is not limited to conventional religions. It also includes spiritual movements originating from China, such as Falun Gong. Falun Gong spread rapidly during the reform era among ordinary citizens as well as CCP officials, due to its emphasis on spiritual and physical wellness. However, as the movement grew, the CCP saw it as a threat. In the late 1990s, under Jiang Zemin’s leadership, the CCP labeled Falun Gong a “cult” and began its brutal crackdown. The CCP could not allow any religion or group assembly that was not under its direct control.
Despite CCP suppression, major religions spread among Chinese people during the reform era. However, under Xi Jinping’s leadership, religious repression has intensified. Under his rule, there has been indiscriminate destruction and persecution of underground churches, Buddhist temples, Islamic mosques, and Taoist shrines. The aim is to strengthen worship of the CCP, Mao Zedong, and Xi Jinping as religious figures.
In November 2021, the CCP officially declared that the CCP and its core, Xi Jinping, must be the object of religious worship and faith in their so-called “Third Historical Resolution.” The CCP’s destruction of religions and ideologies has extended to groups such as dissidents, human rights activists, and intellectuals, committing human rights violations, including forced organ harvesting.
A prime example is the practice of forced organ harvesting, where dissidents, religious minorities, Falun Gong practitioners, and ethnic minorities are tortured and used as organ harvesting victims. There are reports of a “special transport line for human organs” operating at Urumqi International Airport in Xinjiang. Every year, at least 100,000 organs are forcibly harvested and sold. Some transplant hospitals even advertise discounts for organ transplants. It is important to note that the organ donation rate among Chinese citizens is very low.
International human rights organizations and whistle-blowers from China have exposed the CCP’s systematic forced organ harvesting, which is now widely recognized around the world. Governments and international organizations are taking steps to address this atrocity.
China ≠ Chinese Nation ≠ CCP ≠ Mao Zedong
Based on the above discussion, from now on, we will use the term “Chinese Communist Party (CCP)” rather than the general term “China.” It is absurd to assert that China, historically centered around the Han Chinese, has been consistently unified for 5,000 years. Today’s China is a country governed by the CCP, a one-party dictatorship that has ruled for over 70 years, under the framework of the People’s Republic of China.
The concept of the “Chinese nation” is also a fabrication. The CCP claims that all ethnic groups in China are part of the “Chinese nation,” and that their history is part of Chinese history, distorting facts and manipulating history. The concept of the “Chinese nation” is merely an ideological concept used to legitimize Han Chinese dominance. The CCP’s propaganda, such as “Without the CCP, there is no New China,” and “If the CCP falls, China will collapse,” equates the Party with the nation. The equation of “Mao Zedong = Chinese Communist Party = China” is also propagated. The CCP uses this logic to rally the masses with the ideology of Chinese nationalism.
However, the fall of the CCP does not mean the collapse of China. The CCP is not synonymous with the entire Chinese nation and its people. Therefore, this text rejects the logic that equates the “Chinese Communist Party” with the “Chinese nation” or “Mao Zedong’s CCP.” Instead, I propose that the relationship be formulated as “China ≠ Chinese Nation ≠ Chinese Communist Party ≠ Mao Zedong.”
The CCP’s Internal Surveillance,
Digital Totalitarianism, and Global Strategy
Today, the CCP is building a society under strict surveillance and control, creating a digital totalitarian state, while simultaneously pursuing global dominance by reshaping the world’s political and economic order in line with its interests. The slogan for this ambition is the “Chinese Dream.”
For the CCP to dominate the world, it must neutralize the liberal international order created and maintained by the United States and Western countries. To accomplish this, the CCP has launched a grand strategy known as the “Chu-Han War,” aimed at destabilizing the existing global system and asserting China’s dominance.
To implement this global strategy, the CCP must first dismantle the existing world order and weaken its rivals. This includes strategies to undermine the influence of liberal democracies and replace the current international system with a CCP-led world order. The CCP’s ultimate goal is not just to dominate China but also to reshape the global balance of power and impose its authoritarian model on the world.
