In the name of preserving their Marxist utopia, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has continued its authoritarian practices into the modern day, with the regime using the most recent outbreak of Covid-19 as justification for instituting unscientific “Zero Covid” lockdown policies. Originally relegated to Shanghai, these lockdowns have spread to multiple Chinese cities across the country, leading to widespread food shortages and starvation among the civilian population. Citizens daring to speak out or resist such policies are summarily detained and disappeared by state authorities.

Despite the government’s attempts to snuff out any semblance of opposition among the Chinese population, individuals within and outside of China are making it their mission to inform citizens that life under CCP rule isn’t their only option.

Known as the “Movement of Declaration of Independence in China,” the primarily online campaign is an effort to cripple communist rule in China by exposing Chinese citizens to the founding principles of the United States, such as the notion that every person is guaranteed certain unalienable rights by God and not government.

While speaking with The Federalist, Dr. Li-Meng Yan, one of the movement’s leaders, said that by introducing documents like the U.S. Declaration of Independence to Chinese civilians, she hopes that Chinese people will “learn the spirit of America” and understand that “[they] have their rights endorsed by God….”

A Chinese virologist and immunologist, Yan was one of the first medical professionals to study Covid-19 and come to the conclusion that the respiratory virus likely leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. After accusing Beijing of hiding crucial information about the virus during the early months of the pandemic, Yan fled to the United States from Hong Kong in April 2020 to “raise awareness” about the origins of Covid and expose the CCP’s attempted cover-up.

During our conversation, Yan went on to detail how the “Declaration of Independence in China” movement aims to rid China of its “evil communist ideology,” with a long-term goal of a democratic China where “Chinese people’s human rights [are guaranteed] under the rule of law like [the] American Constitution….”
