The end of May, the Red-flag Manuscript magazine
has published an article.
It uses the“Mandate of Heaven” to justify the political
legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP).
Scholars comment that historically, the CCP has
been skilful in getting public support by deceit.
Some Chinese believe that the real Mandate of
Heaven will be the demise of the CCP.
They wish the CCP could follow the Mandate of
Heaven by dying as soon as possible.
The Red-flag Manuscript, a biweekly political magazine,
is sponsored by the CCP central committee,
It uses the” Mandate of Heaven”
to justify the CCP’s political legitimacy.
Since1949, when the CCP began its rule in China,
it has launched a series of political movements,
which have oppressed huge numbers of Chinese people.
In recent years, there have been
mass protests against communist rule.
These have occurred nationwide,
but have ended with crackdowns.
In the view of traditional Chinese culture, down the ages,
virtuous emperors have all venerated
the Gods of Heaven and of Earth.
Corrupt rulers have defied Heaven, they then are doomed
to be replaced by a new, just emperor.
Commentators say, the CCP has now reversed its atheism
in seeking justification for its political legitimacy.
This has illustrated how a deep the crisis is
which is facing the CCP today.
(cyber writer, China) Ren Baiming:“What is ridiculous is
that the CCP even talks about the Mandate of Heaven.
It has long been full of self-proclaimed atheists.
It has fought against the Gods of Heaven and of Earth
during its long rule in China, for decades.”
Zhu Jianguo, independent writer in Shenzhen,
comments that
the eulogists preaching the CCP ideology
are now out of order.
They have been confused about what the CCP’s footing is.
He adds that, before1949, the CCP had used propaganda,
and deceitfully“gained” the support of the masses.
Zhu Jianguo:“In those days, the CCP used advocacy of
democracy and freedom to gain public support.
After1949, it quickly abandoned the talk, which had,
after all, only been used as a trick to seize political power.
So after it came to power, it immediately revealed
it’s true face.”
The CCP Liberation Daily dated October28,1941,
claimed that,
“Currently, in pushing forward democratic politics,
the key is ending one-party rule.”
On February2,1944, the CCP Xinhua Daily
published an editorial.
It said,“The Party shall completely, comprehensively
and effectively implement universal suffrage.
It shall actually enable the people to
have equal rights to elect and to be elected.
The way of achieving this must follow
Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s remarks.
That is, to ensure that the people have full freedom of
assembly, association, expression, and publication.”
Ren Baiming stated that the Mandate of Heaven refers to
being entrusted with a mission from the God of Heaven.
Only those who inherit traditional Chinese culture can
really take Heaven’s Mandate to govern this land.
But the5,000-year old Chinese traditions have nearly
been completely destroyed by the CCP.
Ren Baiming:“Traditional Chinese culture has existed
for the past5,000 years.
It was disrupted under the CCP’s rule, and replaced
with the CCP’s political party culture.
The CCP has brainwashed several generations of
the Chinese people through dozens of political movements.
So nowadays, the Chinese people have no basic idea
about what traditional Chinese culture is.
They have taken the CCP’s political party culture
for the real Chinese culture.
This is actually going completely against
the Mandate of Heaven.”
Economist, Du Runsheng is known as China’s
rural-reform father.
Du reveals that in1953, Mao Zedong“hurriedly”
put forward a general political line for the socialist transition period.
Mao used it to replace his earlier Neo-democratism theory
and his Common Program of Political Consultative Conference.
Then a range of political movements ensued…
Ren Baiming:“If you advocate the Heaven Mandate,
you’ll have to be judged by it.
In other words, if you have done evil deeds,
you’ll hold liability.
Good and evil have their own rewards——
it precisely illustrates how the Mandate of Heaven works.
So the CCP should think it over well.
The CCP has vilified Buddha Law, causing the Chinese
people’s descent into an abyss of moral depravity.
What retribution for such evildoings awaits it?
Surely to be destroyed by the God of Heaven.”
A popular saying spread amongst overseas Chinese,
“Heaven destroys the CCP, Heaven blesses China.”
says that if the CCP really wants to obey the Mandate
of Heaven, it should die as soon as possible.
This would exactly follow the will of Heaven
and of the Chinese people.
In June2002, a270-million-year-old giant stone
was discovered in a village of Guizhou Province.
On its fracture plane, there appear six Chinese characters,
“the Chinese Communist Party Faces Death”.
The sensational geological wonder has been
considered a manifestation of the will of Heaven.
