[Pleople News] Overseas independent media outlet "Yesterday" reported that on the night of October 19, in Wankexinghui community, Ruian city, Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, hundreds of homeowners blocked the police attempting to arrest residents who were defending their rights. During the incident, many white papers were scattered, and the police were eventually forced to release the detained homeowners, marking a victory for the residents' resistance.

According to information passed from mainland China to sources outside the "Great Firewall," the issue originated from local authorities' decision to forcibly demolish a park at the entrance of the community, labeling it as an "illegal structure." The homeowners gathered that night, demanding the park be restored and went to the gate of the Ruian municipal government to express their demands. They questioned why the park, built five years ago and not deemed illegal during the community’s sales period, was suddenly marked for demolition only after the homeowners had moved in, disregarding the value and amenities promised with their homes.

The following evening, the local police chief and another officer led over ten police officers into the community, attempting to arrest a female representative of the homeowners and forcibly put her into a police vehicle. However, the homeowners quickly gathered and surrounded the vehicle, demanding an explanation for the charges and asking to see an official summons.

The police argued that they only wanted to "invite her to the police station for a conversation." One homeowner responded, "If it’s an invitation, then she can refuse." After asking the detained woman and receiving the response, "I don’t want to go," the residents insisted that the police release her. During the confrontation, some homeowners threw white paper in protest of the abuse of authority. The crowd continued to grow, and the police, fearing escalation, were eventually forced to release the woman.

The protesting homeowners remained gathered, prompting local authorities to send over ten fully armed SWAT officers to escort the police and their vehicle from the scene.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has long relied on detaining so-called "organizers" to intimidate others and suppress grassroots movements. However, in recent times, many groups are no longer fearful of such tactics and are adopting a "united resistance" strategy to counter the CCP’s stability-maintenance methods.

On October 16, at the People’s Hospital in Shanwei, Guangdong province, over a hundred healthcare workers protested against unfair distribution of bonuses and collectively demanded their wages. Some raised white papers, shouting slogans like "Hospital director, come out!" and "I need to live!" Others wrote messages like "We need to eat" on the white papers to express their dissatisfaction.

It was reported that the issue arose because only three departments in the hospital received bonuses for August, while other departments received nothing. This unequal treatment led the healthcare workers to hold up white papers, a symbol that has become particularly sensitive in China, with some calling this the "white paper movement" of the healthcare sector.

The People’s Hospital in Shanwei, Guangdong, is a sizable public tertiary hospital that has historically not faced financial difficulties. This incident has drawn attention to China’s economic decline and the widespread phenomenon of wage arrears in public institutions.

Earlier, on October 11, a video circulated online showing several healthcare workers in front of the Fourth People's Hospital in Xinxiang, Henan, demanding unpaid wages. An office worker at the hospital stated that they had not been paid for eight months, plunging them into severe financial difficulty.

Another recent victory for united resistance occurred in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, where villagers detained a police vehicle and successfully rescued a detained villager involved in a rights protection case.

This incident took place on October 16, after the local government implemented a policy banning the farming of sea snails, cutting off the villagers' main source of income. Villagers had been protesting since the previous month, and in the early hours of October 15, several maritime police officers drove into the village in an attempt to arrest a protesting villager. The villagers discovered this and surrounded the police vehicle, refusing to let it leave. The standoff lasted until the evening when the police were finally forced to release the villager.

Villagers celebrated with firecrackers and posted online, saying, "We won the first round; everyone in the village was amazing."

Overseas democracy activist Jie Lijian commented: "This is a symbol of their unity. Only through such collective resistance is there a chance for victory, and that’s what the Communist Party fears the most."

Earlier, on September 27, in Xiangyin County, Yueyang, Hunan province, villagers protested against the government's destruction of Lake Xiabahu for sand mining, cutting off their livelihood. Hundreds of villagers surrounded the police attempting to make arrests in the village, leading to a confrontation.

The "White Paper Revolution" refers to the mass protests that erupted across China in November 2022 following a fire in a residential building during a COVID-19 lockdown in Xinjiang, which resulted in numerous deaths due to delayed rescue efforts. Protesters, holding up blank sheets of white paper, expressed their opposition to the government’s strict "zero-COVID" policies and, in a rare move, called for the resignation of the Communist Party and President Xi Jinping.

Chinese independent journalist Jiang Xue, author of "Ten Days in Chang'an," said in a speech on October 22 that the white paper protests shattered the myth of authoritarian control, asserting that human beings have an instinct to resist and will not always obey.

Jiang believes that the current public opinion is manufactured, with brainwashed mainland Chinese living within the Communist Party's mindset. As a result, even after being harmed by the CCP, many still express gratitude to it. In her speech, Jiang listed recent measures by the CCP to destroy the media and civil society, including banning news reporting, enacting laws that strip freedom of speech, and harshly punishing dissenters through the judicial system.

British author Parker, known for his predictions, forecasted earlier this summer that a new, large-scale White Paper Revolution would soon take place in mainland China, leading to the collapse of the CCP, though not in 2024.

Currently, the collective acts of resistance by Chinese citizens indicate a growing awakening, making it increasingly difficult for the CCP to maintain stability through violence. Once the people completely break free from the CCP, a new China will emerge from the ashes.
