According to Radio Free Asia (RFA), the Human Right Defender’ website quoted a report about the Dyeing and Weaving Factory in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, which is an old state-owned enterprise in Central China. Just a few days before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was to celebrates its 94th anniversary on July 1, all of the members of the Communist Party at the factory renounced their membership in the CCP. Some of them had been Party members for decades.
There has long been a problem since the government stopped providing retirement benefits to the factory’s retirees. Employees of the factory appealed many times and even confronted the government many times. Each time they were suppressed. When the people became completely desperate, all Party members at the factory decided to renounce their membership in the Party.
