Yesterday (Feb. 18), the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Communist Party of China (MOC) announced the first batch of ten suspected “illegal social organizations” in 2021, including the China Party History Research Association, which has sparked heated debate among netizens. In recent years, many private citizens have publicly pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party is the largest illegal organization.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday announced ten suspected “illegal social organizations,” including the China Aesthetics Research Association, the China Blockchain Committee, the China-Africa Cultural Friendship Association, the China Patriotic Artists Association, the China Volunteers Association, the China Cultural Construction Committee, the International Chinese Arts Association, the China Party History Research Association, the Chinese Yu Clan Federation, China Composite Talent Training Association.

One user asked, “Yu Clan Federation, is that the one that removed Yu Maochun from the list”?

During the Trump administration, Yu Maochun was the chief advisor for China Policy planning in the Secretary of State’s Office of Policy Planning, suggesting that U.S. policy toward China should be set right in terms of basic concepts, clarifying that the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people are not the same concept. This hit the Chinese Communist Party where it hurts, causing it to freak out and launch a major critique of it.

On September 13 last year, a video was posted by a tweeter saying that recently in #YuMaoChun’s hometown of Anhui, a group of his clan members held a meeting to denounce him as a “traitor”, listing his six crimes and announcing through the media that he had been expelled from the clan and expelled from the Family tree. It is understood that Yu Maochun moved to Chongqing with his Parents since childhood, and no direct blood relatives in Anhui, which is the Yu clan farce, it is reported that the local police station also sent household registration officers to the scene, to supervise the “abolition” ceremony.

It seems that the Yu Clan Association has not been able to confirm that it is related to the expulsion of Yu Maochun’s clan membership.

Some people also find it puzzling that the Chinese Party History Research Association is also listed as illegal.

Netizen: “The Chinese Party History Research Association is also private?”

“The study of party history is dark.”

While the Chinese Communist Party has designated other organizations as “illegal,” civil voices have long publicly pointed out that the CCP is the largest illegal organization.

On the 95th anniversary of the CCP’s founding in 2016, Wang Xiuying, a Beijing resident in her 80s, sent an open letter to Xi stating that the State Council has a special regulation, the Regulations on the Registration and Administration of Social Organizations, which stipulates that all social organizations must register with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. “I got a reply from the government through government information disclosure that the CPC has not been registered with the State Ministry of Civil Affairs and does not have an organization code.” Therefore, anyone can sue the minister of civil affairs for malfeasance because he did not exercise his authority under the law.

In her letter, Wang Xiuying questioned that the Communist Party could not run on the party dues paid by its members, but must be financially supported by the state treasury, so that the Communist Party would not be a gang?

Wang Xiuying became the oldest petitioner in Beijing when her Home was forcibly demolished.

In 2013, Zhang Ying, head of the Chinese Democratic Party in exile in the Netherlands, said, “The CCP is an illegal group organization that was not registered back then. Because even during the Beiyang government, political parties could and should have been officially registered. Because the CCP was a conspiratorial and violent group, it was ashamed to register. It remained unregistered until 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party took power and became independent on the mainland, and it has not been registered since its establishment.”

A 2006 article signed by Shi Wei argued that the CCP is the world’s largest illegal organization. Organizations such as the CCP that operate openly without registration have become an absolute anomaly in the structure of today’s modern society. The Chinese people are justified in declaring that the CCP is an illegal organization.

He Weifang, a well-known Chinese constitutional scholar and professor of law at Peking University, has also pointed out that the CCP is not legally registered and therefore questioned its legitimacy.

The CCP claims that “history and the people have chosen it” in an attempt to use this as a source of legitimacy for its rule. Even so, former CCP leader Hu Jintao mentioned in 2008 that the CCP’s “ruling status” is not permanent and unchanging, and that “having it in the past is not the same as having it now, and having it now is not the same as having it forever.”

In 2013, People’s Tribune, a magazine of People’s Daily, conducted an online questionnaire on the “Chinese Dream”. The results showed that 70 to 80 percent of the respondents had a negative attitude toward the Chinese Communist regime. On April 15 of that year, the online poll was abruptly terminated and the results were no longer available online.
