A lawyer in Longgang, Zhejiang Province, was detained and fined for posting on Weibo a proposal to “dissolve the Chinese Communist Party and elect Tsai Ing-wen as interim president.
The influential “China Text Jail Incident Inventory” account in the Chinese Twittersphere posted a message saying that Cai Zucheng, a lawyer in Longgang, Zhejiang province, was detained and fined for saying on his Weibo account, “I have a good way to make the motherland reunify peacefully: dissolve the Chinese Communist Party, elect Cai Ing-wen as interim president, and then elect a formal president. He was detained for 13 days and fined $1,000.
Cai Zucheng filed an appeal, claiming that he was merely exercising his constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression, but lost the case.
According to the verdict document accompanying the post, Cai Zucheng, who was born in 1973 and lives in Longgang, Zhejiang province, was accused of making inappropriate comments on microblogs, constituting “provocation and nuisance, which is an aggravating circumstance,” and was sentenced to 13 days of administrative detention and fined 1,000 yuan.

Cai Zucheng was also accused by authorities of frequently posting comments on the Internet that criticized, exposed, attacked, and flirted with the work of the ruling party and government. The above-mentioned post calling for the “dissolution of the Chinese Communist Party” was published on July 2 of last year.
Three days later, Cai Zucheng posted another post praising the “democratic system”: A civilized country is not free of darkness and nastiness, but dares to expose darkness and nastiness; a democratic country is not free of injustice and defects, but tries its best to eliminate injustice and defects …… The benefits of a democratic country are Every profound exposure to unveil ugliness will promote the improvement of social system, will promote the progress of human civilization.

The “China’s Word Jail Incident Inventory” Twitter account has become influential in the Chinese Twitter community. The tweeter has built a database of nearly 2,000 cases of convictions for speech from 2013 to the present through public sources such as government websites, court verdicts, official media reports, and police social media accounts.
Its tweeter, who still lives inside the wall, said in an interview with Voice of America earlier that nearly 2,000 cases of conviction for speech have been collected over the past year or so. These are just the tip of the iceberg. “I want to do everything I can to let the world know about them,” he said, even though he may be the next person to be “reeled in.” There is no turning back for the day when China is no longer convicted of speech.
On May 3, “China’s Word Prison Incident Inventory” also posted a message saying that a police officer in Dalian, Liaoning Province, Ju Zhentao, was found guilty of “making inappropriate remarks and slandering the government’s credibility” and was sentenced to 7 days in detention for chatting in a WeChat group about the government’s concealment of the truth about the epidemic. He was detained for 7 days. Ju Zhentao filed an administrative reconsideration and initiated two administrative lawsuits, both of which failed.
Currently, Cai Zucheng’s Weibo account has been emptied.
