This was the hardest book for me to read, not only because I read it in Chinese (which isn't my first language), but because it was the blackest and most unsettling text I've ever laid eyes on. It wasn't the kind of thing I could stomach for long periods at time. In fact, it has more or less shaken my faith in humanity. If what it says is true, we really do live in a dark time, indeed.

For those interested in learning about the insane horrors befalling the world's most populous nation, or the challenges that stand between a nation and human rights, this offers an extremely thorough insight, although it is a bit dated by this point. I'm not sure how this book would hold up after 16 years, but witnessing the protests in Hong Kong, the government response to the Covid19 outbreak, and knowing how history has a tendency to repeat itself, I don't think much has changed.

People of today who uphold the values of truth, justice, and basic human rights must stand up and defy the Chinese government! Stop buying Chinese products made from cheap labor! Get informed! Support the Hong Kong Independence movement!

Insightful, confronting and inspiring. This is a book I want to reread at some point, having read it circa 2010. This editorial is the stimulus behind what is now known as the “Tuidang Movement”, or the “Quit the Party” movement, a grassroots mass initiative of mainland Chinese renouncing the CCP that began ever since the editorial’s release back in 2001 and currently numbering more than 290 million. It centres on the Chinese Communist Party’s various deeds since its inception in 1949 and takes the reader through the past key events, as well as numerous individual case studies and anecdotes, and in the process demonstrates the characteristics and nature of the CCP of which there are 9 (hence, Nine Commentaries).

The content is confronting and shocking in many ways, I remember myself feeling a sense of sadness for the Chinese nation and Chinese people. China was built upon a grand history, thousands of years, and has a rich culture imbued with deep inner beauty and virtues... all this was destroyed all but thoroughly via deviant and evil means from 1949. What stood out to me most was the deceit—the CCP was able to master its use of propaganda and employ deceptive strategies to such an extent that it could betray and manipulate the masses while posing as a seemingly noble entity. I was able to understand what it means by “Party culture” (as opposed to traditional culture or human culture) and how such a foreign thing drilled its way into the very hearts of modern Chinese and China’s modern culture. The editorial also helped me understand why all of what the Chinese regime has done is detrimental to the future of China and its people, and understand why the CCP’s demise is only a matter of time.

I recommend this to folks who want to understand the nature of the Communist Party of China and thereby why the Tuidang (Quit the Party) Movement came to be, and why it is incumbent upon all Chinese to care about this, and what they should do to protect themselves from the CCP, to move toward a brighter future.

I would also recommend this to anyone seeking to understand China in general, as well as those who want to know why China is the way it is today.

This book is definitely biased against the Chinese Communist Party, but most of the essays are well written and well researched. I read this after visiting China for two weeks, and it put a new prospective on what I had experienced. This is a small book, but it's dense and takes a little bit to get through if you want to get all of the information that's in it.

The atrocities, the manipulative tactics, the tyranny that that political regime is using to supress people while at the same time putting the mask of "normality" on the CCP is unheard, is unparalleled and it's often unimaginable. One can even smell the burned human skin, just by reading the lines in the book. The CCP didn't even think twice before started persecuting the followers of an innocent spiritual cultivation path that adheres to the cosmic principles: Truthfulness - Compassion - Forbearance. By mentioning these cosmic principles many will recognise the name of this spiritual cultivation path: Falun Gong. The brutal killing machine of the CCP has inhumanely tortured thousands of innocent people, just because they were meditating... they were meditating on the principles of Truthfulness - Compassion - Forbearance. Even a 10 year old child, can understand the evilness behind all this.

I have found the Epoch Times, whose editors are responsible for this book, a necessary cutout from the fawning of the CCP one sees too often in American media.

Must read, to understand the evil in the world.

It's a bit unapproachable from an outside western perspective, both in style and general assumptions about knowledge. Worth trying, but not the easiest book on the subject, so no rating.
