Ex Spy Publicly Quits Chinese Communist Party

Story here.

Motivated by love of China, disgust at the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and guilt over the system he had been part of, a former spy has publicly quit the CCP and urged his former colleagues to do the same.

Mr. Li Fengzhi, a former officer of China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), announced his withdrawal from the CCP on Wednesday, joining over 50 million other Chinese who have chosen to denounce the CCP.

Li, now living in the United States, said that the CCP has been harassing and threatening him since he decided to quit his job as an intelligence officer of the MSS. But the harassment did not stop him from finally deciding to quit the CCP publicly.

“On top of many other considerations, my conscience is the most important reason why I openly withdraw from the CCP,” Li said. “Withdrawing from the CCP is a truly patriotic deed, and an effort to save China. Standing up against the CCP is the best way to show my loyalty to my country.”
