The global Tuidang (Quit the CCP) Movement, in which individuals renounce their membership in the Chinese Communist Party, Communist Youth League, and Young Pioneers, continues to gain momentum in China, and around the world.
According to newly released data from the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP (Tuidang Center), 1,210,400 people submitted Tuidang declarations in October 2025, pushing the cumulative total to over 453.79 million. The Center describes the movement as “the largest and longest-running spiritual awakening movement in human history.”
From January through October 2025, 12,873,464 people publicly declared their decision to withdraw from CCP-affiliated organizations. May saw the highest figure at 1,404,593 declarations, while October dipped year-over-year by 14.5 percent. Taken as a whole, however, the trajectory remains unmistakably upward. According to the Tuidang Center, five forces shaped October’s surge in conscience and public awakening, including:
1. Public tragedies trigger moral reflection
The emotional shock triggered by the Yu Menglong incident — the death of the young actor whose case ignited public anger — became one of the month’s strongest catalysts. His story convinced many that under CCP rule, human life remains expendable.

Yu Menglong, also known as Alan Yu, died after mysteriously falling from a high-rise building in Beijing on Sept. 11. Authorities closed the case within 24 hours, ruling it an “accidental fall” following a “night of heavy drinking.” But a growing number of industry peers, fans, and human rights’ advocates have called for an independent investigation, citing the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and the government’s swift suppression of anyone speaking out about about the case.
Nearly 100 people wrote to the Tuidang Center asking to submit declarations on his behalf. One young man from Guangzhou wrote: “Seeing what happened to Yu Menglong, I realized the CCP has never treated people as human. Quitting it is a way to stay safe.”
Another declarant, signing as Lu Yuqing, stated: “The Communist Party is not a political organization; it is a demon that devours souls. From organ harvesting to taking human lives lightly, its crimes are unbearable to Heaven.” Rather than isolated emotions, these accounts reflect what the Center calls a broader awakening of conscience.
2. Linking past crimes to present realities
Many declarants are connecting contemporary abuses with the CCP’s historical record. One wrote: “During the Anti-Japanese War, Mao Zedong hid in Yan’an while Nationalist troops fought and bled on the front lines. After Japan’s surrender, the Communist Party pardoned war criminals but killed true heroes. Today it harvests organs and persecutes people of faith.”
These remarks echo a sobering warning in “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World:” “The communist specter destroys not only life, but the ability to distinguish between good and evil,” wrote another user.

3. Growing disgust toward corruption and power
For many, Tuidang is an expression of disillusionment with the CCP’s entrenched corruption. Xu Hongjie, a factory worker from Shandong, wrote: “I spent my entire life working in a cement plant and ended up with a body full of illness, while Party officials indulged in luxury and squandered public money.”
Another declarant, Chen Laifu, exposed the Party admission system: “You have to pay to become a full Party member. If you can’t afford it, you remain a probationary member forever.”
These firsthand accounts undermine the Party’s self-image as the “vanguard of the working class.” In reality, the system has produced one of the most elite-dominated political hierarchies in modern history.
4. The shock of unfiltered truth
For Chinese citizens abroad, access to uncensored information has been transformative. Wang Han, a resident of New Zealand, wrote: “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and The Ultimate Goal of Communism awakened me completely. Communism is not a utopia; it is a poison created to destroy humanity.”
He added that the CCP has “destroyed faith and culture,” pushing society toward materialism. His reflections echo another warning from “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World.”
Wang adds, “The devil conquers not only through violence, but through temptation, indulgence, and technology that enslaves the soul.”
5. A global movement that resonates
Across China and abroad, Tuidang activity is expanding in coordinated waves. Residents of Guang’an, Sichuan submitted declarations to quit the Communist Youth League; university students in Hebei filed group withdrawals; and volunteers at booths in London, Toronto, Sydney, and New York continued helping Chinese travelers renounce CCP ties.
Many participants said the Tuidang process helped them “regain conscience and faith” and understand that “freedom begins by rejecting lies.”
In October 2025, the global End CCP petition surpassed 5,049,834 signatures. From New York subway stations to public squares in London, Seoul, and Sydney, a unified message echoed:
- “No CCP! End CCP!”
Organizers describe the effort not as political lobbying but as a worldwide moral alliance against the communist specter.
Governments respond
Growing global awareness has translated into political action. Together, these developments form an emerging international moral barrier against CCP abuses:
- Former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback urged the White House to meet with Falun Gong’s founder Mr. Li Hongzhi, stating: “Religious freedom is not only a human right, but a matter of national security.”
- Canada’s Shadow Minister of National Defence James Bezan advanced the C-219 bill targeting CCP officials involved in transnational repression.
- Australia’s Parliament held hearings on forced organ harvesting, calling the CCP’s actions one of the largest acts of mass killing in human history.

Despite rising global pressure, the CCP continues to target Tuidang volunteers and Falun Gong practitioners. Recent cases include:
- Dr. Zhao Junfang of Liaoning — sentenced to three years
- Sheng Guilan, age 72, from Jilin — four years and nine months
- Yan Qing’e, age 76, from Hubei — forcibly taken into custody
These cases reveal what the Center calls the “final struggle” of the communist specter — a regime willing to destroy faith, tradition, and morality to maintain ideological control. Yet this brutality has produced the opposite effect: More and more people are waking up to the specter’s true face.
A choice between good and evil
How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World states: “When a person’s good thoughts arise, the divine will help him break free from the control of evil.” The wave of 453 million Tuidang declarations represents a global moral awakening — a conscious rejection of hatred, violence, and ideological control. It is not merely political renunciation, but a return to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
As China approaches a historic crossroads, the communist specter continues to fight for survival. But its decline is accelerating. Humanity’s hope, as the Tuidang Center emphasizes, lies in every awakened soul choosing the side of morality and light.
Ultimately, the divine will triumph over evil — and the choices made today shape the destiny of tomorrow.
