As the final moments of 2025 pass, humanity stands at the threshold of a decisive year.
History does not often grant such clarity — a moment when right and wrong are so sharply defined, when truth and falsehood can no longer be blurred, when choices are unavoidable and consequences irreversible.
Today, we are not commemorating an organization or a movement.
We are honoring something far greater: the survival of human conscience.
456 million consciences have already chosen
By the end of 2025, more than 456 million Chinese people, using either their real names or aliases, have publicly declared their withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Party, its Youth League, and Young Pioneers organizations.

At the same time, over 5.11 million people worldwide, from different nations, cultures, and faiths, have signed the global petition calling for an end to the CCP.
This is not merely a number.
It is the clearest moral verdict of our time.
In a society governed by fear, surveillance, coercion, and punishment, 456 million people choosing to disassociate themselves from a totalitarian regime is a civilizational event without precedent.
Among them are farmers and factory workers, teachers and engineers, former Party members, and children once forced to wear the red scarf.
They may never meet one another — but they have all made the same decision:
To stop endorsing evil.
This is not hatred.
It is a return to dignity.
Not destruction, but renewal.
Not despair, but hope.
2026: The year of reckoning for totalitarianism
The era of the “Late CCP” has arrived.
The Chinese Communist regime has entered a stage of structural collapse and systemic disintegration, evident in undeniable realities:
• Economic stagnation and the effective bankruptcy of local governments
• Youth unemployment and the rapid collapse of the middle class
• Accelerated flight of capital, elites, and families abroad
• Intensifying factional power struggles, with unprecedented purges within the Party, military, and state apparatus
History teaches us a painful truth: authoritarian regimes are most dangerous just before they collapse.
Internally, they grow more brutal.
Externally, they act more recklessly.
In 2026, illusions are still maintained, but the truth is breaking through.
Order has not yet fully collapsed, but the cracks can no longer be concealed.
The bottom line of human civilization
The problem of the CCP is no longer merely “China’s internal affair.”
When crimes against humanity — including forced organ harvesting — become institutionalized, industrialized, and systematically covered up, the issue transcends politics.
It becomes a question of the moral bottom line of human civilization itself.
When human beings are reduced to “organ sources,”
When medicine is transformed into an assembly line of death,
when life is priced, allocated, and erased —
silence becomes complicity.
Every great catastrophe in human history was not caused by too many perpetrators,
but by too many bystanders.
The solemn declaration that still matters
In 2005, The Epoch Times issued a solemn declaration — not a political manifesto, but a moral call to conscience and responsibility. That declaration remains profoundly relevant today:
Solemn Declaration by The Epoch Times
The end of the Communist Party is approaching.
Yet this evil organization has committed immense crimes against humanity and divine principles.
When accountability comes, those who once supported it will not be exempt.
Therefore, we urge all who have ever joined the CCP or its affiliated organ..
When judgment arrives, the public record of withdrawal will stand as testimony.
This Is the Moment of Choice
History’s tide has already formed.
The only remaining question is whether you will take this final step.
For the Chinese people, quitting the CCP is choosing a future for themselves and their families.
For the world, ending the CCP is defending the moral foundation of human civilization.
History will not ask what we believed.
It will record what we chose to do when the moment arrived.
A message for 2026
Let us leave fear behind in the past.
Let us carry conscience into the future.
Let us entrust hope to the next generation.
As long as truth is spoken and conscience endures, darkness can never prevail forever.
Happy New Year.
May courage be with you.
May light guide humanity forward.
