The CCP Exposed: Instability Among Lower-Level Troops — A War Could Trigger an Uprising

[People News] Recently, amid tensions with Japan and Taiwan, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been creating a tense atmosphere in the Yellow Sea, South China Sea, and Taiwan Strait. However, some analysts point out that discontent among lower-level troops in the CCP’s military may be accumulating under high pressure, and that soldiers might launch an uprising during wartime.

The X account “Spokesperson for the Beijing Democratic Force” recently published a “Urgent Appeal to the Soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army to Rise Up,” calling on conscientious service members to take up arms and launch a new “Wuchang Uprising,” igniting the flame of freedom to destroy the darkness of CCP tyranny.

Independent commentator Du Zheng wrote in Taiwan’s Up Media on the 23rd that some soldiers still possess independent thinking. The CCP’s increasing strictness in military management suggests that undercurrents are surging within the barracks.

At the end of last year, the CCP’s military newspaper published an article criticizing lax management and discipline among officers and soldiers, emphasizing the need to crack down on illicit “scaling the wall” (using software to browse overseas websites). Du Zheng believes this indirectly confirms that soldiers are indeed “scaling the wall” to secretly access free information.

Du Zheng stated that friends within China’s military and political circles have recently been discussing that high-ranking CCP generals are extremely corrupt and focused only on currying favor with those in power, leaving them with no courage for an uprising — but that lower-level military mutiny may already be accumulating momentum.

On November 11 this year, Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the CCP’s Central Military Commission, wrote in People’s Daily that it is necessary to resolutely prevent “two-faced people” and fake loyalty, and to firmly root “protecting the core and obeying the CCP’s command” into the minds of all officers and soldiers.

Du Zheng said that Zhang Youxia’s emphasis is directed especially at frontline troops. The CCP often shouts what it lacks the most; Zhang’s words reveal that “two-faced people” are everywhere within the military. This precisely shows that some soldiers, in order to accumulate the strength to resist tyranny, are temporarily enduring in silence — which is a form of wisdom.

Du Zheng also mentioned that at the beginning of this year, a friend with relatives in the offices of one of the CCP’s theater commands revealed that because they could no longer tolerate how rotten the CCP military had become, some officers did indeed want to emulate the Wuchang Uprising and were waiting for the right moment. They may be waiting for one of two scenarios:

1. a CCP “military assault on Taiwan” creating an extraordinary situation, or

2. Xi Jinping suddenly dying and chaos erupting within the Party.

Du Zheng believes that while the CCP authorities will certainly try to prevent a mutiny, during extraordinary times, they will not be able to guard against soldier uprisings everywhere.
