Australian human rights advocates in Sydney have held a rally to support over 300 million Chinese people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and nearly two million people worldwide signing the “End CCP” petition.
The CCP never intended to be friendly to Australia, said Farnell, who drove more than six hours to attend the rally.
“They placed embargoes upon our beef why and barley, timber, and other products. They restricted access to markets and products such as fertilizers,” he said. “This is not mutual trade. This is not free trade, it’s not even fair trade.”
Funnell said he was standing here today to call on all people in the free world to unite against the tyranny and atrocities of the CCP and stop the threat to democracy and freedom posed by it.
Dr Sev Ozdowski, OAM, Chair of the Australian Multicultural Council and former Australian Human Rights Commissioner, praised the Tuidang movement as a very important movement in contemporary history.
He said the CCP not only committed crimes against Chinese people but also sought to impose a new world order.
“It’s time to support free and democratic China and the free world with Chinese Communist Party domination.”
He quoted former Polish President Lech Walesa’s description of the Tuidang movement as his closure: “This Tuidang movement, the history tsunami, as I deeply believe nothing is able to stop it anymore. No one can stop a spirit of freedom.”
“We should also insist that the elites, particularly in business, stop their support for dollars of the Communist Party of China,” he said.
Sophie York, a barrister and lecturer in law at the University of Sydney, said there are two reasons for her solidarity with the Tuidang movement: Firstly, the CCP’s inhumanity, such as the forced harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners, the enslavement of Uighurs, and the disappearance of dissidents.
“The CCP will eventually commit those against any other people in the world who do not kowtow,” she said.
Secondly, the CCP does not act according to the regulations of the international rules-based order. “The [CCP’s] lies led to the spread of the virus all over the world and led to millions of deaths.”
She argued that the CCP has not only turned the world into a corrupt, militant, selfish, rule- and moral-free place but is also eroding global institutions and systematically infiltrating governments.
She called on the Australian government to immediately enact an anti-foreign infiltration bill to identify CCP infiltration and conduct foreign infiltration scores on all institutions such as banks, political parties, corporations, law firms, universities, and churches.
In her closing remarks, York thanked the Falun Gong practitioners who promoted the Tuidang movement.
“Thank you, we must join with other good nations in exposing and eradicating all the tentacles of Chinese communism,” she said. “We must never give up our freedom. Never give up our national sovereignty, our rule of law, nor our humanity.”
The Tuidang spiritual awakening movement, promoted by Falun Gong practitioners, has been going on for 18 years. John Deller, a spokesman for the Falun Dafa Association of Australia, said that the movement has no political demands and does not propose an alternative political framework to the CCP.
Deller said communism is an evil specter in the world at present, but he believes that as more and more Chinese people realize the nature of the CCP, the Chinese communist regime is bound to perish.
“There in the West, we also have the 2 million people who are signing the petition to end the CCP... We can awaken, and we can realize what this entity is. It’s an evil entity,” he said.
