Yuan Hongbing, a Chinese legal scholar living in Australia, citing sources inside the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), claimed that an internal Ministry of Public Security document circulated after July 1 acknowledged widespread inaction and declining morale among officials responsible for China’s domestic stability maintenance system. According to Yuan, “lying flat,” bureaucratic inertia, and passive non-compliance have become increasingly common among local public security and grassroots officials.
The sources attributed the trend primarily to mounting fiscal pressures on local governments. Budget shortfalls have resulted in delayed or reduced salaries and bonuses for police officers, while grassroots officials—including neighborhood committees, township governments, and village Party branches—have also experienced prolonged delays in wage and subsidy payments. Yuan argued that these financial constraints have weakened the effectiveness of the CCP’s stability maintenance apparatus, particularly at the county and township levels.
Yuan also claimed that the same internal document identified an anti-CCP organization known as the “Restoration Party” (复国党), which reportedly advocates overthrowing Xi Jinping’s rule and replacing the current political system with a “Republic of China 2.0” framework. According to the report, the group has adopted a decentralized, cell-based organizational structure to expand its activities inside China.
Yuan further claimed that the Restoration Party has carried out operations in the Beijing–Tianjin region to seize what it describes as illicit wealth held by CCP officials, with the stated goals of assisting the public and financing anti-CCP resistance activities. According to Yuan, the group has conducted more than 100 successful operations and has also organized anti-CCP graffiti campaigns in multiple regions across China. He argued that declining enforcement by local stability maintenance authorities has created unprecedented opportunities for domestic resistance movements. The authenticity of the Ministry of Public Security document and Yuan’s claims could not be independently verified.
