Buses suspend services, Bridge crew employed, and the banner incident shocked the CCP high-level officials
Reporter : Yan Shu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/15/a103551814.html
On 13 October 2022, a slogan of fighting for civil rights and challenging the CCP appeared on Sitong Bridge in Beijing, causing the CCP authorities to panic. Officials urgently hired personnel to guard the overpasses, and several passenger stations in Beijing were temporarily suspended. Some analysts believe that the Sitongqiao incident shows that the idea of civil rights is spreading secretly in China.
On the 13th, someone hung up two huge banners on the Sitong Bridge in Beijing, involving the content of fighting for civil rights and anti-Xi Jinping, shocking both at home and abroad.
After the incident, Beijing hurriedly sent people in militia uniforms to guard the overpass and all traffic overnight, Radio Free Asia reported. The district governments also published recruitment advertisements to urgently recruit "bridge watchers", who stand guard on the bridge 24 hours a day in two shifts, with a daily salary of 280 to 320 RMB.
Some people posted on overseas social media that on the 14th, every bridge in Beijing was guarded by militiamen.
Some netizens said that the subway entrance near Sitong Bridge was full of police cars.
According to The Epoch Times, several passenger stations in Beijing were also temporarily suspended. A passenger car driver told The Epoch Times that starting from the 14th, it will be impossible to leave or enter the capital, passenger cars will not be allowed to pass, and the trains and high-speed railways have also suspended services, which may take four or five days.
Cai Xia, a former professor at the Communist Party School, said, "I think this matter is no trivial matter."
Cai Xia told VOA that since the outbreak of the CCP virus, the CCP’s zero-covid policy has made the Chinese people, who are very patient, intolerable, and there will inevitably be warriors who will rise up to fight. The Sitong Bridge incident also had the biggest shock to the top leaders of the CCP, including Xi Jinping, so this incident is no trivial matter.
Su Ziyun, director of the Institute of National Defense Strategy and Resources of the National Defense Academy of Taiwan, told The Epoch Times that the incident is an important indicator that affects China's political situation. Although it may be difficult to shake Xi Jinping's third re-election in the short term, it symbolizes that there is a pressure cooker in the CCP system, and the pressure is increasing.
Su Ziyun said, "The banner clearly conveys a different signal than before, that is, it emphasizes not only the anti-Xi one, but also the right to citizenship, the right to vote, and 'don't be slaves, be citizens'."
Su Ziyun believes that this incident shows that democratic ideology is spreading secretly in China. Although it is unlikely to have any effect on the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it will definitely have follow-up effects.

Commentary on hanging anti-Xi slogans in Beijing: dissatisfaction among the people
Editor : Huang Yimei / Reporter : Luo Ya / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/14/a103551509.html
On the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, various places were shaking, and different scenes appeared in Beijing. On the 13th, two large protest banners suddenly appeared on Sitong Bridge in Haidian District, Beijing, attracting many passers-by to watch.
On 13 October, a protest banner appeared on the Sitong Bridge in Haidian, Beijing, with a large red letter on a white background that read: "No nucleic acid but eating, No lockdown but freedom, No lies but dignity, No Cultural Revolution but reform, No leader but votes, Don't be slaves, be citizens”, and a small banner next to it, “Stop classes and strike to remove the dictator Xi Jinping.”
Afterwards, thick smoke blew up, causing passersby to stop and watch. Passersby took pictures of cloth strips hanging on the viaduct and uploaded them to the Internet. Beijing's anti-Xi campaign immediately became the hottest international news and online news.
Li Hengqing, an economist living in the United States: "The Chinese have been suppressed for too long. So I think this is a very strong signal, which means that the Chinese people finally have such a chance to vent their anger. Everyone has been holding back their anger for a long time."
Scholars believe that this action planning should be more than one person.
Su Ziyun, director of the Institute of Military Strategy and Industry of the National Defense Security Research Institute of Taiwan: "This is to hang the cloth strip and hang it neatly. It should take at least two to four people to straighten the cloth strip, and then hang the whole cloth. Get up. After hanging the banner, he also lit the wolf cigarette. It is very clear that this signal is used to attract the attention of the passers-by. This kind of information is quickly spread to the world, which is very important for China, which is strictly controlled by information. Speaking of which, I think this is a very special situation.”
Comments say that the incident, which took place in surveillance-filled Beijing and just before Xi Jinping is due to outline his vision for China at the 20th Party Congress, shows that the protest was a public outburst of dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping.
Su Ziyun said, "This kind of democratic thinking is still brewing in mainland China, and it is spreading secretly. Picking it before the 20th National Congress is a last call, that is, the so-called party representatives of the CCP vote, maybe they want to vote in the vote. It will change some results, although it seems unlikely at the moment, but I think this atmosphere is very important."
The CCP authorities quickly blocked news and deleted online posts. "Sitongqiao, Haidian, North Third Ring Road, North Fourth Ring Road, Banner, Warrior" have become sensitive words. Some netizens said that he was banned for 60 days after only posting "I saw it!"
The Epoch Times columnist Wang He said, "The CCP is now the entire party, and no one can openly challenge Xi Jinping. This is the current problem. So what are you waiting for now? They are all waiting for Xi Jinping to make mistakes, waiting for a 'When an emergency comes, everyone is booing, the wall falls and everyone pushes' for the existence of the moment when the wall falls."
The demonstrator holding the banners was taken away by the police on the spot. Twitter immediately reported that he was Peng Lifa from Heilongjiang, with the online name "Peng Zaizhou", who had published research articles on electromagnetism. Screenshots from the Internet show that he tweeted at 4 am on the 13th to announce, "Everyone in the same path, we are about to take action, I hope you can repost more, thank you!"
Li Hengqing said, "Some netizens on the Internet, including some well-known public figures, are now saying, does this work? It doesn't work, otherwise there will be another political prisoner and he will be put in prison again. Whoever comes forward will be arrested, so this is also a This kind of mentality. But at the same time, I think there are also netizens who have proposed that if there are 10 to 20 responders under the bridge, then these 20 responders may have 200 followers, and it may become two hundred followers. Thousands of responses and followers. Then everyone will stop pulling banners and it will really become a protest movement.”
This "Sitong Bridge incident" caused strong repercussions. Netizens said that it is good to know the identity, at least it will not be evaporated from the world.
Li Hengqing commented, "We can't just stay on the Internet, I think we should take more action. We should ask ourselves, if I am also in Zhongguancun, if I am also on the side of Sitong Bridge, do I dare to stand up? Stand behind Peng Zaizhou and join him in defending your rights. This is actually a big question that determines the fate of China, and each of us should answer this question. If we dare not, who else do we expect?”
Don Weinland, a Shanghai correspondent for The Economist, said: “In most places, it’s hard to make news of this one-person protest. But in Beijing, with tight control over the expression of individuals, it’s hard to make news. A short chapter long enough to go into history."

CNN reported that many people expressed their support despite the protests being heavily censored online. "Thank you (protesters) for giving me still hope for this land," said one comment.
Another netizen expressed dissatisfaction with the CCP's online censorship, "People are gone, place names are gone, many characters are gone. But there are so many Chinese characters, so many eyes. Can you censor all of us?"
Deutsche Welle reported that on the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, videos and pictures of protest signs displayed on an overpass in Beijing were widely circulated on social media, which is not censored by the Chinese government.

Radio Free Asia quoted Beijing resident Yang Jing as saying, "After being suppressed for a long time, it will always explode."
He admitted that he had imagined various possibilities of the outbreak beforehand, and these banners expressed the general aspirations of the people: "There must be someone expressing their opinions in such a decisive and tragic way, 'No Burst in silence, die in silence'."

Reactions: Sacrifice himself to awaken the masses, how far can the Sitong Bridge warrior go?
Reporter : Chen Yue / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/14/a103550904.html / Image of Peng Yifa : Video Screenshot
The relevant photos and videos of the Sitong Bridge incident quickly went viral on the Internet, detonating public opinion, and netizens left messages, "1.4 billion people have all disarmed, and one man is actually a man." They also praised the person who hung the banner as a "warrior".
Mr. Long, a citizen of Beijing, said, "This is the most normal expression, and I agree with it."
After the incident, the CCP immediately blocked relevant news and dealt with the scene. Photos taken by netizens showed that a person wearing orange clothes was suspected of being taken away by the police at the scene. The Internet speculated that the person who was taken away might be the "lone warrior" who hung the banner.
Some netizens speculated that the warrior may be a man named Peng Zaizhou, who once tweeted that on October 16, he would mobilize for school strikes, strikes and military uprisings across the country.
Tang Jingyuan, a current affairs commentator: "The person holding the banner to protest is most likely a mainlander named Peng Zaizhou. Before he took action, he published his manifesto on the Internet and left a document expressing his demands. Seeing that he deliberately chose to carry out this operation three days before the 20th National Congress, his purpose is to use the public opinion of the incident itself to make his appeal heard by the whole country."
According to expert analysis, the Sitong Bridge incident reflects the current public grievances in mainland China, which has accumulated to the brink of irreconcilable eruption.
Tang Jingyuan said, "Peng Zaizhou can be said to be a representative figure, he represents the middle class that was once regarded as the most 'safe and secure' in the whole society, and has also experienced a crisis of survival, and this phenomenon of sharpening social contradictions ."
However, experts estimate that it is difficult to form a scale of protests against Peng Zaizhou's online nationwide strike.
Tang Jingyuan added, "He wanted to sacrifice himself to wake up the public to resist, but against the background of the CCP's years of brainwashing and the ubiquitous big data surveillance, it is difficult for a nationwide protest to occur. Especially in the Before the 20th National Congress, the CCP's efforts to maintain stability were unprecedented."
Experts said that it is estimated that after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the road to totalitarianism of the CCP will be further strengthened, and social conflicts will become more intensified, and the speed of the disintegration of the CCP will also accelerate accordingly.

北京人谈“看桥员”：二十大独有的风景线
On the eve of the 20th National Congress of the CCP, Beijing entered a state of high alert. However, on the 13th, a protest by people hanging up banners on Sitong Bridge in Beijing made the Beijing authorities nervous and security tighter. "Bridge watchers" all over the place are known as the unique scenery of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Image : Video Screenshot
In the morning of 13 October 2022, some protesters hung two giant banners on Sitong Bridge in Haidian District, Beijing, with the Chinese characters for ""No nucleic acid but eating, No lockdown but freedom, No lies but dignity, No Cultural Revolution but reform, No leader but votes, Don't be slaves, be citizens”, and a small banner next to it, “Stop classes and strike to remove the dictator Xi Jinping.”
The Sitong Bridge incident has attracted widespread international attention. Observers believe that this is the first time since the June 4 incident in 1989 that a political incident that directly challenges the CCP regime has appeared on the streets of Beijing. Therefore, the protesters in this incident were widely praised by the people and were called "Warriors", "Chinese Soul", "New Tank Man", "Second Tank Man" and so on.
On the other hand, this incident caused a high level of tension among the Beijing authorities. In addition to the police, security guards and "volunteers" lining the streets of Beijing, the authorities urgently arranged various "bridge watchers", worried that the protests would happen again.
According to the Central News Agency, the "bridge watchers" who have been seen by many Beijingers are the product of the Sitong Bridge incident, and they are even dubbed by Beijingers as "the latest scenic line", "the scenery here is unique", and " Twenty Unique Landscapes".
Today, on every pedestrian bridge in Beijing, there is one "bridge watcher" for the small ones and two for the larger ones, and some even have a windproof canvas pavilions. Stationed under the bridge, there are two small ones and as many as four large ones.
Some people in Beijing said that compared with the "bridge watchers", the uncle and aunt volunteers staring at passers-by with red armbands, police officers, police assistants, various security guards, and even armed police are not uncommon. After being compared, the top 20 was "really amazing".
In addition to the "bridge watchers", new security measures in some areas of Beijing have also been reported on the Chinese Internet. For example, the purchase of fabrics over one meter, as well as paint, are also included in the "real-name system" and must be purchased with an ID card. As soon as the news came out, it caused heated discussions among netizens. Some people pointed out that fabrics and paints in Beijing are "as dangerous as kitchen knives today" (there is a real-name system for purchasing kitchen knives).
There are also rumours that long-distance buses from several long-distance passenger stations in Beijing to other provinces and cities have been suspended since 14 October 2022, and it is yet to be notified when they will resume operations. However, whether this measure is a security measure implemented in advance for the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, or a newly released measure in response to the Sitong Bridge incident, is currently unknown.
A reporter from the Central News Agency found that the number of police cars driving and parked around Chang'an Avenue, the Forbidden City and Zhongnanhai in Beijing has increased significantly, and the density of police patrols has increased significantly.
The Central News Agency reported that there was no shortage of police officers, various assistant police officers, security guards, and volunteers with red armbands on their left arms in Beijing before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. After the Sitong Bridge incident, there are more opportunities to meet them on the streets of Beijing.

"This has become a scene in Beijing. It's not shameful to hang a banner, just tear it down. It's shameful to hire people to watch bridges with people's fat and plaster. How fragile is a regime, and all grass and trees are soldiers?"

According to an interview with The Epoch Times, a number of recruiters said that the job content of "bridge watchers" is to "maintain stability" and report suspicious persons immediately. Other recruiters said they were hiring until the end of October. Others said they would "long-term recruit". Some recruit 20 people, while others have to recruit more than 100 people.
A staff member of the Haidian District Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau said that recruiting people to watch bridges is done by various streets.

The deceitful and ridiculous 20th Party Congress press conference on the epidemic

On 15 October 2022, the press conference of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stated that the CCP's epidemic prevention and control measures are to adhere to the people first, and to insist that dynamic clearing is due to the relative lack of total medical resources, etc. Commentators believe that the CCP's statement is ridiculous and deceptive. Extreme measures have led to numerous humanitarian disasters, and its purpose is to monitor the people and maintain governance.
In the afternoon of 15 October, the press conference of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing. Sun Yeli, Vice Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee, was the spokesperson for the conference. A reporter from Channel News Asia in Singapore mentioned that despite the global opening up, the CCP still adheres to the policy of dynamic clearing. Sun Yeli responded that the CCP's epidemic prevention strategy is to adhere to the supremacy of the people and life, and to control the epidemic with the lowest social cost and the shortest time.
This response topic was on the mainland Weibo hot search list in the evening of the 15th. However, the Epoch Times reporter found that the comment area under the topic was blocked, and the content of netizens' messages could not be seen. As of 8:30, more than 4,000 comments on Weibo, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party of China, People's Daily, were blocked.
Internet writer Zhao Changqing, one of the founders of the New Citizens Movement in mainland China, told The Epoch Times on the 15th that the CCP's rhetoric is ridiculous, and other countries around the world have also loosened their control over society, including North Korea, and insisted on clearing the dynamics, in order to consolidate their so-called governance legitimacy.
"The epidemic is now a lighter thing than influenza, but the CCP will not let it go," Zhao Changqing said. "Through fascist-style social coercion and control, the entire society can prevent the outbreak of resistance to the CCP's tyranny."
He said that Chinese Communist society, from the non-governmental to the high-level, is aware that the dynamic reset policy has hit China's social and economic development, and it has also generally violated human rights. For example, two days ago, the Sitong Bridge incident in Beijing had clearly shouted the slogan "No nucleic acid but eating", "work."
On 13 October, two protest banners suddenly appeared on Sitong Bridge in Haidian District, Beijing. A loudspeaker played the banner content. There were objects burning and thick smoke coming out of the scene. The banners read: "No nucleic acidbut eating, No lockdown but freedom, No lies but dignity, No Cultural Revolution but reform, No leader but votes, Don't be slaves, be citizens", "School strike to remove dictator Xi Jinping".
Zhao Changqing added that there has been a lot of information now that excessive social control has caused the elderly to starve to death, and even jumped off the building to commit suicide. "The humanitarian disaster is far greater than the disaster caused by the epidemic itself."
During the lockdown of Tibet this year, the people lacked supplies and could not eat. From the end of March to 1 June 2022, Shanghai suddenly closed the city. Local elderly people living alone died without food. Citizens committed suicide by jumping off buildings because they could not accept the long-term lockdown. From the end of last year to January this year, during the lockdown of Xi'an, pregnant women waited 2 hours in front of the hospital to have miscarriages, and citizens died due to lack of immediate treatment.
Lu Zhengfeng, an associate professor of the Department of International and Mainland Affairs at Taiwan's Kinmen University, said in an interview with The Epoch Times reporter on the 15th that "extreme epidemic prevention policies are strictly monitoring people", the world is opening up, and the CCP will continue to do nucleic acid, and it will get itself into trouble, "This is following the In the world competition, Beijing will be under enormous pressure, and time will tell."
The press conference of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also declared that due to China's large elderly population, unbalanced regional development, and relatively insufficient total medical resources, it is necessary to insist on dynamic clearing; to calculate the general account, epidemic prevention measures are the most economical.
Current affairs commentator Yue Shan told The Epoch Times on the 15th that this reason seems to be the CCP's rare acknowledgement of the problem of insufficient medical resources, but in fact its purpose is to silence external and domestic criticism, which is untenable.
Yue Shan said that CCP China's medical system is rotten, corrupt and unfair. Ordinary people are "difficult to see a doctor", while privileged classes are given preferential treatment. As the so-called second economy in the world, why are medical resources so insufficient? This is not a slap in the face of the CCP’s so-called confidence in the system.
"Speaking of a general ledger, like the 'Chinese Dream', is a lie." Yue Shan said, "The CCP uses inhumane methods to prevent the epidemic. I can't explain why the high-level CCP attends the '11' reception and political activities in Tiananmen Square, why they can gather without wearing masks?"
