The White Paper Revolution In China: Whose Side Are You On, Joe?

The current regime makes hard cash through forced organ harvesting and is trying to breed the Uyghurs out of existence through mass rape. Xi Jinping appears committed to his draconian lockdown measures in China. Whether these actions are truly designed to control COVID or in fact, intended to destroy the power and influence of increasingly pro-Western elements in China’s south remains perhaps unclear. What is very clear, however, is that the people of China have had enough.

Under China’s “zero-COVID” policy, anybody who tests positive for the virus anywhere in China must be separated from all non-infected people, including family members, with no exceptions. This includes isolating children from their parents if they test positive and parents or guardians don’t. Vaccine passports and licenses to allow movement throughout the city were also reportedly being checked by hazmat-suited authorities.

Many of the recent protests were spurred by the deaths of at least 12 people in a Urumqi apartment building fire. The residence, located in the Xinjiang region of the country, was sealed shut by CCP officials to stop the spread of Covid. The fire, which happened on November 24, 2022, found Chinese citizens locked in their homes and burned alive. 

Any sign that the people of China are rising up against his tyranny ought to be great news for all the freedom-loving people of the world. The United States of America, that “shining city on the hill,” ought to be the loudest voice of all calling for change.

Demonstrations have erupted in at least seven cities including Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou. Violence has broken out between the police and protesters. The people in the street aren’t just calling for an end to COVID restrictions. They are chanting “take down the CCP!” and “take down Xi Jinping!” The Chinese people are demanding an end to communism.

In Shanghai, protests are taking place right down the street from the U.S. Consulate. The American Ambassador to China has had nothing to say.

China is building vast camps in which to house anyone who tests positive for COVID. Children are taken away from their parents if the kids are positive and the parents are not. Vaccine passports are required to move in some designated cities.

The Chinese have made clear they are done with all of this. Testing centers are being destroyed by protesters. Barriers are being removed. The people of China have had enough.

What is emerging is a revolution. People in the street are calling it the White Paper Revolution in reference to CCP propaganda that forbids free expression. The protests have spread even to major universities. Increasingly, there are express calls for “democracy” and “freedom of expression.” Students are chanting “freedom will prevail” and “no to lockdowns, we want freedom.”

Professor of Global History at Oxford University, Peter Frankopan, commented on the gravity of the protests and warned the Chinese government would likely respond with even harsher measures.

‘This is the most serious moment since Tiananmen in 89. Hard to see the genie get put back in the bottle. A soft touch needed; a hammer much more likely to come next. And then who knows,’ he said.

The official website of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing makes no mention of the disturbances. It does prominently display a photo of Joe Biden and Xi Jinping smiling and holding hands.

For the Chinese people, this is a historic moment. For the United States of America, a nation built on the principles of freedom and liberty, it is a defining one. Are we still a force for good in the world or have we sold our souls to the CCP?

For Joe Biden, a man dogged by growing evidence of compromise by the Chinese Communists it is time to make loyalties clear.

Whose side are you on Joe? ✪
