On April 17, a message claiming that “someone filed a complaint with the Shenzhen municipal government against Xi Jinping, demanding that the Communist Party step down!” spread widely on social media platforms. The complaint letter also called on conscientious public officials within Shenzhen government agencies to immediately oppose the Communist Party, “save the nation,” and overthrow the CCP, drawing widespread attention.
According to two screenshots posted on April 17 by X (Twitter) user “Furinana (Return of the King version),” the case request number is: 042603241116973619901. The subject of the complaint reads: “Shenzhen Public Security Bureau, please stop making threats; I maintain my stance that Xi Jinping is a dictator and that the CCP should be overthrown.” The complaint states:
“If the Shenzhen public security authorities are truly capable, they should follow formal legal procedures, contact China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then request extradition from the Swiss government through diplomatic channels, rather than merely harassing my family members in China.”
I reiterate: the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China are not subordinate to each other, and the PRC has no right to represent Taiwan. The Chinese Communist Party is nothing but a group of bastards. Overthrowing the CCP and ending the socialist authoritarian system is the political responsibility of every Chinese person. The dictatorial traitor Xi Jinping, who practices totalitarian rule, will meet a bad end and will sooner or later face the judgment of history. I hereby call on conscientious public officials within Shenzhen government agencies to immediately oppose the CCP, save the nation, and overthrow the Chinese Communist Party.
I will not change the above stance, nor will I give up expressing it due to any form of threats, pressure, or indirect influence (including actions targeting my family). If the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau continues to threaten my family, I will expose within the CCP system—through petition mailboxes at the national, provincial, municipal, and county levels, as well as government information disclosure channels—allegations that Xi Jinping used his brother-in-law Deng Jiagui to set up offshore companies for corruption, and that his sister Xi Qiaoqiao and niece Zhang Yannian illegally hold overseas assets, thereby fully exposing the alleged crimes of the dictatorial traitor Xi Jinping.

Address involved: Nanshan Subdistrict, Nanshan District.
According to the screenshots, the above complaint has already been accepted. The acceptance date was March 24, 2026. The Shenzhen Public Security Bureau responded on April 3.
In response, some netizens commented: “It doesn’t matter who comes to power—there are countless ‘Xi Jinpings’ in China. The only solution is to change the system, replacing one-man authoritarian rule with democratic elections similar to those in the United States… If Chinese people are to truly live like those in a normal country and enjoy various rights, the system must be changed.”
As early as 2016, during the Chinese Communist Party’s “Two Sessions,” a group calling themselves “loyal Communist Party members” published an open letter calling for Xi Jinping to resign.
Late at night on March 4, 2016, Wujie News, a Party propaganda outlet under the Cyberspace Administration of China, suddenly published an open letter signed “loyal Communist Party members,” titled “Request for Comrade Xi Jinping to Resign from His Party and State Leadership Positions.” The letter listed multiple reasons for demanding his resignation and accused Xi of governance failures and authoritarian tendencies, stating that he “lacks the ability to lead the Party and the country into the future and is not suitable to continue serving as General Secretary.”
However, shortly after the open letter was published, it was deleted, and the Wujie News website was also shut down. According to reports, Wujie initially explained to authorities that it had been hacked, and later claimed the incident was caused by an “automatic content aggregation” feature. As this occurred during the politically sensitive period of the CCP’s “Two Sessions,” the incident drew outside attention. Not long afterward, the Wujie News site stopped producing its own reporting and only republished state media content. Later, multiple Wujie News employees—including senior executives—were detained over the incident.
In recent years, public calls to “overthrow the CCP” and for “Xi Jinping to step down” have never truly ceased; instead, they have intensified.
In February 2020, rights lawyer Xu Zhiyong published a “Letter of Persuasion to Resign,” criticizing Xi Jinping’s pandemic and Hong Kong policies and calling for him to step down. In 2023, Xu Zhiyong was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In May 2020, Shandong poet Lu Yang (Zhang Guiqi) posted a video on WeChat reciting lines such as “Xi Jinping step down; the CCP’s authoritarian regime must end,” after which he was arrested.
In October 2022, Peng Lifa broadcast recordings and hung banners on Sitong Bridge in Beijing reading “Xi Jinping step down; the Communist Party step down.” After his arrest, his whereabouts have remained unknown. The Sitong Bridge incident helped spark the “White Paper Movement”; in November of the same year, protests spread across multiple locations, with people in cities such as Shanghai and Beijing taking to the streets chanting “Communist Party step down!” and prompting solidarity demonstrations overseas.
On Aug. 29, 2025, Chongqing resident Qi Hong displayed large anti-CCP slogans via projection on a high-rise building in Xijie, University Town, Chongqing. The messages included: “Only without the Communist Party can there be a new China; freedom is not a gift—it must be reclaimed,” “Rise up, those unwilling to be slaves; rise up and fight to reclaim your rights,” “Down with red fascism; overthrow Communist tyranny,” and “No more lies—want truth; no more enslavement—want freedom; the tyrannical Communist Party must step down.”
In October 2025, just after the conclusion of the CCP’s 20th Central Committee Fourth Plenum, someone hung two anti-CCP banners on the streets of Sanlitun in Beijing. The messages directly stated: “The essence of the Communist Party is an anti-human cult that will bring endless disaster to China,” and “Lift the ban on political parties; allow free party formation, free competition, and free choice; establish a new China based on freedom, humanity, and the rule of law.”
Since the beginning of 2026, several widely circulated online videos have drawn attention. In one video, a young man angrily curses the CCP: “I love my country, but I don’t love the ruling party of my country—I’m talking about the Communist Party! Don’t you have any damn awareness?!” Another young man stands on the street shouting: “Down with the Communist Party! Down with dictatorship! Down with evil!” In a busy district of Guangzhou, a shirtless young man yells angrily at police and a large crowd of onlookers: “Communist Party, I *** you!” …
On the overseas platform X, a post saying, “I think the Communist Party stepping down is only a matter of two or three years! At the latest, not beyond 2028! What do you all think?” went viral, receiving 810,000 views in just three days. The comment section was highly active:
“It’s possible the Communist Party will step down in 2027!”
“It’s half-dead—probably can last another five years.”
“The fall of authoritarian rule is already in a countdown! Good news could come at any time!”
“I believe the disintegration of the CCP is getting closer and closer, so if you haven’t withdrawn from the Party, Youth League, or Young Pioneers yet, declare your withdrawal quickly. If the CCP collapses one day, all opportunities will be gone.”
