Children Poisoned with Lead, Adults Drinking Sewage
The CCP Must Fall — Justice Cannot Be Denied
📅 Date & Time: Saturday, July 26, 2025, at 4:00 PM
📍 Location: Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles
(443 Shatto Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90020)
🕊 Organized by: Almighty Christ Anti-CCP Front & China Democracy Party Rowland Heights Branch
📣 Background:
Two recent public health disasters in China have once again exposed the regime’s utter failure to protect its people:
🔴 Lead-Poisoned Children in Gansu Province:
In Tianshui, Gansu, a private kindergarten, in pursuit of attention and profit, used industrial paint powder in food, leading to 233 children with severe lead poisoning and 201 hospitalized. Though the principal was detained, deeper systemic accountability remains absent.
🔴 Sewage-Tainted Tap Water in Hangzhou:
In Yuhang District, Hangzhou, residents reported tap water that smelled like a public toilet. The authorities blamed algae bloom and offered five tons of water bill compensation. The public, however, remains fearful and distrustful.
Environmental and food safety in China are collapsing.
🙏 Prayer:
“Lord, we cry out for the children poisoned by lead, for the elderly dying from drinking foul water, for the silenced scientists, persecuted journalists, and voiceless poor.
Let Your righteous anger burn against this wicked regime.
Let Your mercy fall upon the people of China.
The CCP must fall — for the sake of heaven’s justice.”
🕯 Protest Slogans:
• Children poisoned with lead, adults drinking sewage — who will speak for the Chinese people?
• Under CCP rule: polluted waters, poisoned lives — heaven is watching!
• Protest environmental crimes in China — stand with the silent victims!
• Better to speak and die than to live in silent slavery!
Is China Truly Safe Under CCP Rule? A Deep Dive into “Safety” Through Clothing, Food, Housing, and Transportation
By: Feng Yuan | Edited by: Li Congling | Executive Editors: Luo Zhifei, Lu Huiwen | Translated by: Lu Huiwen
In recent years, many video bloggers — both local Chinese and foreign tourists — have frequently praised China’s “safety” in state-controlled media. They say people can walk the streets at night without fear of robbery or shootings, even joking that “the most unsafe thing at night is your wallet,” due to the irresistible food and shopping. But is this perception truly comprehensive?
People who live in China year-round often find that the reality is far more complex than the surface suggests. Under a heavily censored environment, many genuine experiences cannot be widely shared. This article will examine the actual safety conditions in China through the four aspects of daily life that concern ordinary citizens most: clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
1. Clothing: Hidden Dangers of Substandard Materials and Toxic Dyes
● The Prevalence of “Black Heart Cotton”
“Black heart cotton” refers to substandard fiber fillings used in quilts, padded coats, etc., often chemically bleached. These can irritate the skin and cause respiratory issues. Reports from the 2010s indicated that 10–30% of garments contained such materials. Although authorities claimed to crack down on the issue, it persists. In 2021, CCTV published a report titled “Harmful Quilts Hurt the People — Black Heart Cotton,” revealing that the problem had not gone away. Just as public concern subsided, another scandal emerged in 2024 involving sanitary pads made with substandard materials — some even containing foreign objects like needles and insect eggs. Official response, however, only addressed pricing and sizing, ignoring the quality concerns.
● Cancer Risks from Fabric Dyes
As early as 2016, there were reports of some textile dyes being carcinogenic. While authorities advised consumers to wash new clothes multiple times, they failed to regulate or monitor production sources effectively.
2. Food: A Crisis of Safety at Every Stage
● Fraud in the Farming Process
Some unscrupulous producers add banned substances during farming. Notable cases include the Sudan Red egg scandal in 2006 and the clenbuterol-tainted pork in 2011. Pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination are also common, especially in regions with industrial pollution.
● Alarming Production Practices
The 2008 Sanlu milk powder scandal remains fresh in memory. Illegal additives — preservatives, colorants, and artificial sweeteners — are still widespread. In 2022, the phrase “technology and ruthless tricks” went viral, referring to how food is almost entirely chemically synthesized. For example, lamb soup with no lamb, caramel made without sugar, milk tea with no milk, purple yam drinks with no yams, sausages without meat, steaks without beef, peanut soy milk without peanuts or soy — even chili sauce in night markets contained no chili. A lone whistleblower named Xin Jifei exposed countless such cases, raising public awareness while taking on the food industry almost single-handedly.
● Poor Sanitation and Transportation Hazards
Some small workshops operate under horrific sanitary conditions, making bacterial contamination common. The 2022 “Pit-Fermented Sauerkraut” scandal is one example. And in 2024, it was revealed that chemical tankers were being used to transport edible oil — an alarming food safety hazard.
● Reuse of Dangerous Waste
Reused gutter oil and relabeled expired food remain common. These should never return to consumers’ tables but continue to circulate.
3. Housing: High Costs, High Risk
● Homeownership as a Family Burden
Buying property in China often means draining an entire family’s savings, frequently requiring contributions from both sides of a couple’s extended families. This phenomenon is called “six wallets,” reflecting the financial strain.
● The Epidemic of Unfinished Buildings
Even after paying down payments, there’s no guarantee of delivery. In recent years, due to a real estate market slump, numerous projects have been abandoned. Buyers are still expected to repay loans, and defaults result in blacklisting and restrictions on daily life.
4. Transportation: Behind the Façade of Prosperity
● Safety Issues with Electric Vehicles
Encouraged by the CCP, domestic electric vehicle production has surged, with some claiming China has “overtaken the West in a corner.” However, safety hazards abound. Some vehicles suffer from poor design, while others use cheap, defective materials to cut costs.
● Fragile Infrastructure
China boasts of being a “superpower in infrastructure,” yet many highways and railways suffer from poor design or shoddy construction. Incidents like “sinkholes” and the tragic Meida Highway collapse repeatedly expose serious public safety risks.
From the above analysis of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, it’s evident that the real living conditions in China do not match the government’s portrayal of “safety and stability.” Risks and hidden dangers that ordinary people face are often downplayed or concealed.
At the root of these problems lie systemic flaws. Although China has laws and regulations meant to ensure public safety, implementation is weak. Corruption, local government obsession with short-term performance, and lack of oversight render these regulations ineffective.
More worrying is the highly censored media environment. Those who raise concerns often become targets of suppression, while the actual problems are left unresolved. This stifling of public discourse blocks meaningful reforms and improvements from taking place under public scrutiny.
True safety is not a propaganda slogan; it must be built upon a foundation of rule of law, justice, and freedom of speech. Only by dismantling the current autocratic system and establishing a democratic society can Chinese citizens finally achieve genuine safety and dignity.
Only when the Chinese people overthrow the CCP regime will they be able to live in a truly safe nation.
Reflections on Participating in the 747th Jasmine Action and Supporting the Taiwanese People’s Recall Movement
By: Wang Chengguo
Edited by: Feng Reng Chief Editor: Luo Zhifei Translated by: Lu Huiwen
Though small in territory, Taiwan upholds the sky of democracy, freedom, and constitutionalism for the entire Chinese-speaking world. It has become a beacon of democracy and a model of governance for all Chinese societies.
From the moment the Chinese Communist Party seized power, it has sought to intimidate and coerce the people of Taiwan through violence and threats. Over the years, the CCP’s infiltration has grown more insidious, attempting to smear and demonize Taiwan’s pursuit of democracy and freedom.
Yet Taiwan has never backed down—on the contrary, under pressure, it has grown more resilient, demonstrating the enduring strength of its democratic institutions.
By supporting the Taiwanese people’s recall movement, we are actively defending the values of democracy and liberty.
We send a message to the world: all people of conscience who cherish democracy and freedom will stand with Taiwan.
Taiwan is a symbol of civilization and progress, a stronghold of the free world, and it will never become a vassal of CCP tyranny!
The people of Taiwan will never yield to Beijing’s threats or temptations.
A people who have tasted freedom will never permit tyranny to take root!
To defend Taiwan is to defend our own future—and to safeguard the dignity and pride of the global Chinese community.
Taiwan will remain a lighthouse of democracy and a constitutional model not only for Chinese communities but for all of civilization.
Taiwan belongs to all who love liberty and aspire to constitutional government.
The CCP’s schemes are but illusions—moonlight on water, flowers in a mirror.
One day, the flower of democracy shall bloom across the land of China, and Taiwan is our guiding light.
Algae as the Scapegoat, Truth in Absence: A Rational Inquiry into Hangzhou’s Tap Water Contamination
— The “Fecal Water Incident” in Hangzhou and What It Reveals
By: Zhou Zhigang
Editor: Hu Lili Chief Editor: Luo Zhifei Translated by: Lu Huiwen
In mid-July, a sudden outbreak of “foul-smelling tap water” in the Yuhang District of Hangzhou triggered national concern. Residents reported their tap water smelling strongly of feces or dead rats, with some households observing brownish, murky water with visible impurities. Public confidence in water safety plummeted. The official explanation?
“Anaerobic decomposition of algae under specific natural climatic conditions, releasing sulfur-containing compounds.”
As an ordinary citizen concerned about public health, I feel compelled to ask six serious questions. May those with a conscience take heed:
1. Can “anaerobic algae” really explain the stench and turbidity?
Yes, sulfur compounds like methanethiol and dimethyl sulfide are known for their strong odor—but typically they smell fishy or swampy, not fecal or like sewage, as widely reported. More importantly, algae decomposition rarely causes visible discoloration or particulate contamination, which contradicts the video evidence presented by many residents.
Is it possible that other pollution sources are being deliberately concealed? We demand detailed, transparent water quality data, not vague statements like “preliminarily identified cause.”
2. Why did this “natural phenomenon” affect only certain neighborhoods?
The worst-hit areas were in Renhe Town, Yuhang, while adjacent streets or even nearby communities remained unaffected. If the cause were truly climatic and algal in nature, the contamination should have spread gradually and systemically, not explosively and locally.
Could the real cause involve pipe cross-contamination, backflow incidents, or illegal discharges? Was the possibility of construction damage to water infrastructure investigated?
3. Where was the early warning system? When did the water plant know?
The public was the first to detect the issue, followed by media coverage, and only last came the government response. This broken emergency chain reveals not just technical failure, but long-standing governance incompetence.
We ask:
• When did the water plant first detect the abnormality?
• Why didn’t they switch water sources or issue a temporary shutdown warning?
• If “the water is unpleasant but not toxic,” why not communicate openly?
Ironically, official statements admitted that water quality anomalies were detected as early as July 16. That means the authorities knew early but chose not to act, leaving residents unknowingly exposed. This is an utter disregard for public safety—a moral collapse.
4. Is the compensation mechanism fair? Who will take responsibility for health impacts?
The local government offered a 5-ton water bill deduction—about 14 yuan (~$2). This is a mockery, given the real losses:
• Bottled water panic-buying
• Restaurant and business closures
• Manufacturing disruptions
• Most importantly: Potential irreversible health risks, especially for children and the elderly.
This is outrageous, especially from a country that boasts of foreign aid generosity. Where is the support for its own citizens during a public crisis?
No free health screenings, no medical surveillance, no toxicology reports. If the water contained harmful chemicals or heavy metals, who bears the consequences?
Consider the Flint water crisis in the U.S. (2014–2021):
• A $600 million settlement in 2020, 80% allocated to affected children
• Expanded to $626 million in 2021
• Massive pipeline replacements and medical programs followed
Compared to this, China’s token compensation is cold and dismissive—a national disgrace.
5. Before fighting “rumors,” shouldn’t transparency come first?
After the issue surfaced, authorities acted not to solve the problem, but to suppress dissent. Multiple social media users were penalized for “spreading fecal water rumors.”
While fabricated rumors must be discouraged, the foul smell was real, experienced by thousands, not imagined.
Citizens spoke out from fear and helplessness, not malice.
Rather than muzzling the public, what’s needed are:
• Complete lab reports
• Accountability investigations
• Timelines for fixes
• Third-party oversight
6. Public Ignorance and Apathy
Online, some affected residents resorted to dark humor:
“Even drinking shit water needs to be metered now.”
Others quipped, “Let’s get some foreign residents to sue them.”
This bleak sarcasm reflects a tragic reality:
In China, state-run utilities have no legal obligation to disclose full information. Even forced disclosures are one-sided, non-negotiable.
People fear that simply seeking the truth or demanding compensation may result in state retaliation.
And so, after a round of self-mockery, the people fall silent again.
The Root of It All: Power Above Accountability
In summary:
• Power overrides citizen rights
• Information blackout replaces transparency
• Local interests trample public safety
Residents drank contaminated water for days, while the supply company claimed ignorance.
Once exposed, the government’s stability-maintenance machinery went into overdrive: in just days, public attention was redirected to “don’t spread rumors.”
Not a single official resigned.
No formal apologies issued.
Just a symbolic refund of 5 tons of water.
Contrast this with:
• Flint (USA): Officials criminally prosecuted, government paid hundreds of millions
• Sewol Ferry (South Korea): President resigned, criminal trials, policy reforms
• Fukushima (Japan): Senior officials stepped down, national safety overhaul
Why does no Chinese official ever take responsibility?
Because:
• Power is centralized and unaccountable
• Speech is controlled
• Oversight is suppressed
• Legal remedy is a mirage
The root causes of this “fecal water” crisis are:
• Illusory governance
• Arrogant bureaucracy
• Absurd narratives of “no harm detected”
• And the people’s resigned compliance
Today it’s Hangzhou; tomorrow it could be your city.
Drinking contaminated water harms the body; staying silent pollutes the soul.
A healthy society should never make people say,
“I was just unlucky.”
It should empower them to ask,
“Who is responsible? Who must be held accountable?”
Algae is just a scapegoat.
The true cancer lies in neglectful power and opaque systems.
Only by uncovering the truth and demanding accountability can we protect the lives and dignity of every citizen.
Silence nurtures corruption; only by speaking out can conscience awaken.
Never Needed to Be Remembered, Yet Never Forgotten
By: Lin Yangzheng
Editor: Zhao Jie Chief Editor: Luo Zhifei Translated by: Lu Huiwen
On July 13, the China Democracy Party held a sea memorial for Liu Xiaobo on the eighth anniversary of his passing, at Santa Monica Beach.
This event was the result of a full year of preparation by party member Zheng Wei.
This time, there were no slogans throughout the entire event—only powerful displays of civic spirit and poster boards featuring the Charter 08, which called for democracy and constitutional government.
Our gathering was peaceful and rational, aiming to communicate to the world the democratic ideals and free spirit of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, as well as of all of us involved. We sought to pass on Liu Xiaobo’s spirit—summed up in his words, “I have no enemies and no hatred,” and “Never needed to be remembered, yet never forgotten”—to everyone, including ourselves.
Beyond the planned theme, two unexpected yet meaningful outcomes emerged from the event:
First, we gained the attention of a white American human rights advocate. After exchanging contact information, we plan to maintain a long-term connection, which will help bring the values and vision of the China Democracy Party, along with our pursuit of liberty and human rights, to the attention of mainstream American society.
Second, in the “Little Angels of Freedom” group led by me and my mother—aimed at helping children embody Liu Xiaobo’s spirit of freedom—we encountered an incredibly brave, thoughtful, and articulate 11-year-old. The first question he asked during our PBL (Project-Based Learning) session was profound:
“Why is the Communist Party so evil?”
Later, during the expression phase, he wrote a heartfelt blessing for Liu Xiaobo in his youthful handwriting that deeply moved us all.
Civic education was specifically written into Article 13 of the third section, “Our Basic Propositions,” in Liu Xiaobo’s Charter 08. It is a crucial social foundation for building a democratic society—nurturing universal values and civic spirit from a young age. This has long been one of our goals, even while we were still in China: to help shape a new generation of citizens who are ideologically grounded, courageous, resilient, and immune to CCP brainwashing.
This mission is both immense and essential. It requires not only parents or educators to have a deep understanding of universal values, but also the ability to communicate these ideas in language children can understand. Given China’s current political environment, such efforts can only take place on a limited scale and are far from becoming a nationwide initiative.
Nonetheless, I urge every parent reading this—regardless of where you are, whether abroad or inside the Great Firewall—to stand up and begin introducing your children to materials that help them understand the concepts of freedom, democracy, and human rights, including Liu Xiaobo and Charter 08.
There is no need to instill hatred, nor to dwell on how evil the CCP is. It is enough to contrast dictatorship with democracy, slavery with human rights. As children learn more, a natural civic spirit will emerge. They will instinctively resist the red indoctrination that permeates every aspect of life in China. In time, they will become part of the wave that helps build a democratic China.
When the CCP finally falls, Chinese society must already have accumulated enough experience in civic education—so that a new generation of upright citizens replaces today’s ideological indoctrination system. Only then can we truly break China’s 3,000-year cycle of authoritarianism. Only then can we ensure that future revolutionaries do not become the next Communist Party. Only then can we secure democracy and constitutionalism as the eternal foundation of Chinese governance—and, ultimately, set our sights on the stars and the sea.
It is a daunting mission.
But we are walking this path, always.
⸻
I have no enemies,
Nor do I accept darkness as destiny.
Truth can be imprisoned,
But truth-tellers will grow.
An empty chair for the world,
One honest word for the children.
When the wind tears through the iron curtain night,
Jasmine Action No. 747: The China Democracy Party Stands with Taiwan
Democracy Advocates Rally on Hollywood Walk of Fame to Support Taiwan and Defend Freedom
By: Li Congling
Edited by: Luo Zhifei Chief Editor: Lu Huiwen Translated by: Lu Huiwen
At 4 p.m. on July 19, the call for freedom once again echoed across the square of Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. Organized by the China Democracy Party National Committee, the 747th “Jasmine Action” rally—titled “Defend Taiwan, Defend Democracy”—drew a large crowd of democracy advocates from around the world. The atmosphere was electric, with powerful slogans and stirring speeches declaring to the world: Taiwan must remain free, and China must become democratic!
This rally directly addressed the escalating tensions across the Taiwan Strait and the grassroots democratic self-rescue movement launched by the Taiwanese people—the “Recall Tsai” campaign. In the opening remarks, hosts Ma Qun and He Xingqiang pointed out that the CCP is intensifying its military threats and espionage activities against Taiwan, posing a grave danger to regional peace in East Asia and the global liberal order. At this critical juncture, Taiwan is not just defending itself—it stands at the frontlines of the Chinese-speaking world and the global democratic camp against the tide of authoritarianism.
Li Congling, one of the event’s organizers, emphasized in her speech:
“We are not only fighting for Taiwan on the streets, but for the entire Chinese-speaking world—for our next generation, for the sky of freedom they deserve.”
He Xingqiang followed with a speech in English, calling on the international community to unite in support of Taiwan and to remain vigilant and engaged with China’s democratic struggle.
The square resounded with chants such as “Stand with Taiwan!”, “Free China!”, and “End CCP!”, drawing the attention of many tourists and media outlets. A video team recorded the entire event, and volunteers maintained order, demonstrating the group’s high level of organization and discipline.
The rally was sponsored by Mr. Liu Ping and co-organized by democracy advocates including Li Congling, Zheng Wei, Zheng Min, Ni Shicheng, and Yan Na. Speakers included Yang Hao, Ni Shicheng, Wang Chengguo, and Yan Yan, who, though from diverse backgrounds, shared the same conviction: to refuse silence, resist tyranny, and uphold democracy and human rights.
The event concluded with group photos and free discussion. More than just a demonstration, this gathering showcased the cohesion and determination of overseas democratic forces, sending a clear signal to the world:
The fate of Taiwan and the future of democracy are inseparable from the destiny of the global free world.
The China Democracy Party National Committee announced that it will continue organizing similar actions, standing in solidarity with Taiwan, linking with global anti-authoritarian movements, and striving tirelessly for a democratic China.

On July 6, 2025, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people in exile, the Dalai Lama, celebrated his 90th birthday. In Dharamsala, the town in northern India where the Dalai Lama and many Tibetan exiles reside, days of celebrations were held. Thousands of Tibetan Buddhists, along with dignitaries and prominent figures from the United States, India, and other countries, gathered in this picturesque Himalayan town to honor the Dalai Lama’s birthday.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, and other political leaders extended birthday greetings. Modi posted on X, stating: “His teachings inspire respect and admiration across all faith communities. We pray for his continued good health and long life.”
Chen Weiming, renowned Chinese sculptor and pro-democracy activist, led a delegation of Chinese Democracy Party members to Dharamsala to offer birthday wishes to His Holiness and received his handshake and blessing.
The series of celebratory events surrounding the Dalai Lama’s birthday also served to strengthen the global visibility of the Tibetan exile community. Governments of democratic countries around the world have maintained relatively close relations with both the Central Tibetan Administration and the Dalai Lama. Yet beneath the joy and blessings lies a deep undercurrent of anxiety for the future. Many followers are concerned that, as the Dalai Lama advances in age, uncertainty looms over the Tibetan cause after his eventual passing. Tenzin Lekshay, spokesperson for the Central Tibetan Administration, remarked: “Yes, we fear a major storm is coming,” but he also emphasized, “We will not shy away from it. We have endured for centuries, and we will continue to persevere.”
The Dalai Lama has pledged to announce a succession plan during the July 6 celebrations—one that acknowledges the complexity of current geopolitical realities. A pressing concern is how to counter the Chinese Communist Party’s attempt to manipulate the succession process. The Dalai Lama has previously stated that his successor will be born in the free world, suggesting that the next Dalai Lama may emerge from the Tibetan exile population—roughly 140,000 strong—half of whom reside in India.
The root of the Tibetan exile, without question, lies in the Chinese Communist Party’s invasion of Tibet, which forced the Kashag government to sign the “17-Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet.” After entering Tibet, the CCP initiated violent land reforms and political campaigns that dismantled the region’s traditional social fabric, sparking widespread resistance. In 1959, the Dalai Lama fled to India to ensure his personal safety, thus beginning a nearly 70-year journey of exile.
Approximately 100,000 Tibetans followed the Dalai Lama to Dharamsala, and tens of thousands more joined in subsequent waves of escape. Today, over 140,000 Tibetans are spread across India, Nepal, the United States, and Europe. Centered in Dharamsala, the Central Tibetan Administration has established a fully functional government-in-exile, with departments for education, finance, foreign affairs, and security. Schools, hospitals, elder care homes, and vocational training centers are all provided free of charge and operate smoothly. This system stands as a remarkable example of a people’s resilience against authoritarian rule—and a model from which China’s own democracy movement has much to learn.
