Anti-CCP Car Rally Winds Through New York Ahead of Party’s Founding Anniversary

On June 28, the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party — a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit also known as the Tuidang Center — organized a car rally of more than 20 vehicles through several Chinese immigrant neighborhoods in New York, including Flushing, Manhattan’s Chinatown, and Brooklyn’s Eighth Avenue. The rally was timed ahead of July 1, the Chinese Communist Party’s founding anniversary, which the group calls “Global Quit the CCP Day.” Vehicles displayed American flags alongside bilingual banners, while loudspeakers played a song promoting the withdrawal movement.

Volunteers stopped along the route to speak with residents and collect signatures. Organizers reported that 157 people in Brooklyn and 5 in Chinatown signed statements expressing intent to renounce memberships in the CCP and its affiliated youth organizations, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers — a practice the group calls “Tuidang” (withdrawing from the Party) or “Santui” (the “Three Withdrawals”). The center operates an online portal where individuals, including those inside China using pseudonyms, can submit such statements and receive a certificate documenting their renunciation.

The rally coincided with a separate protest in Flushing organized by the Chinese Democracy and Human Rights Alliance, whose chairwoman, Jin Xiuhong, told reporters she welcomed the car rally as a complementary effort.

The Tuidang movement traces its origins to late 2004, when The Epoch Times published a series of editorials titled “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” which called on people “still deceived by the CCP” to recognize its nature and sever ties with it. The Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP says it has since recorded renunciation statements from several hundred million people through its website, though these figures are self-reported by the organization and have not been independently verified. Separately, the group also runs an “End CCP” petition campaign calling for people outside China to join an international call against the Party.
