In a very rare but a shameful incidence for the Chinese Communist Party, a former Chinese soccer superstar called the party a terrorist organisation. In his video criticising the party, the celebrity sports person in called on the people of China to overthrow the ruling communist party while even speaking on the issue of Tibet.
Hao Haidong, a record holding former national soccer player published a video criticising the ruling Chinese Communist Party. The former soccer star of China called on the public to overthrow the communist so that they could make way for the formation of a new government. He has sworn his allegiance to the “Federal State of New China,” a purported alternative to the ruling Communist Party of China established by Guo Wengui, who lives in exile.
“The retired soccer forward, the Chinese national team’s all-time top goal scorer and an idol in the 1990s and early 2000s, stunned his country this week after he called for the downfall of the ruling Communist Party and the formation of a new government.” said the breaking report by the Washington Post.
In a highly unusual YouTube appearance as part of an apparent publicity campaign by the fugitive billionaire Guo Wengui, one of the Chinese government’s most reviled opponents, Hao read an 18-point manifesto for a vision of a “New Federal State of China.” Sitting for an accompanying hour-long interview alongside his wife, the badminton champion Ye Zhaoying, Hao launched into lengthy criticisms of the government’s handling of almost every domestically sensitive subject: Hong Kong, Tibet, the covid-19 pandemic, added the report.
In the manifesto, Hao calls the ruling party a “terrorist organization” that “tramples on democracy,” violates the rule of law and makes contracts it doesn’t intend to keep. His criticisms came on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre leading to his name now topping the most censored word on Chinese social media. Along with his social media accounts with huge followings, statement was also deleted as the party’s policies to erase all mention of the incident on the domestic Internet as if it never happened.
Hao is believed to be living in Spain after his retirement from soccer. He has long been criticising the Chinese authorities beginning with the Chinese soccer authorities. In this criticism, he accused the Communist party of launching a biological warfare against the world through Coronavirus.
