Following the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, there have been reports circulating on Chinese social media of multiple anti-communist slogans appearing on the streets of Suiping County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. These slogans demand “Xi Jinping step down,” “Down with the CCP,” and “Stop the persecution of human rights.”
On October 31st, overseas blogger “Jiang Xu-Freedom Voice” posted on platform X, stating that there are brave individuals across the country confronting the ruling party, with everyone facing death but not everyone truly living. He saluted these warriors standing against the tyranny of the CCP. The post was accompanied by several images featuring anti-communist slogans.
One of the images showed a sign posted on a street sign near the Luoyang Police Station in Suiping County, Henan Province, with the message “Xi Jinping step down, stop organ harvesting, end dictatorship, CCP step down, stop human rights abuses.” Other slogans included “Eliminate the Communist Party, overthrow Xi the pig head (nickname for Xi Jinping), restore freedom of speech, stop internet censorship,” along with a large banner reading “Awaken to the Truth.”
While some netizens commented on the poor handwriting of the slogans, many praised the act, saying, “More and more warriors are rising against the regime,” “The more posters, the better; let them catch us all,” “Expressing the public’s voice,” and “The fight against communism knows no age or social status – everyone has a duty to resist.” The momentum of the movement was acknowledged with comments like “Let’s pass on the torch,” “Hope to see the power of awakening,” and “Topple the CCP, end the tyranny.”
Previously, on October 23rd, following the conclusion of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, on October 25th, banners opposing the CCP were hung in the streets of Sanlitun, Beijing, with messages denouncing the party as a cult against humanity and calling for the establishment of a new China based on freedom, humanity, and the rule of law.
This incident marks the latest in a series of public anti-communist displays since Peng Li in Beijing hung anti-communist banners at Sito Bridge before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party in 2022.
Before the military parade on September 3rd this year, anti-communist slogans such as “Down with the dictator” and “The CCP should have fallen long ago” appeared on restroom doors across Beijing, sparking what netizens dubbed the “Bathroom Revolution.”
According to a study by Free Asia, protests in China are on the rise. In the third quarter of 2025, the platform recorded 1,392 protest events, a 45% increase compared to the same period in 2024, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of year-on-year growth.
