The Communist Party overthrew GMT under the banner of “anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian” yet, over the past half a century, the Communist Party has been adhering to dictatorship of one-party, trampling human rights, depriving its peoples’ freedom, practicing graft and corruption, and abusing the judiciary system, the extent of which way surpasses that of previous KMT Government.

Since 1949, Hua successively served as the Party Secretary at Xiangtan County of Hunan, first secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, Minister of Public Security, Chinese Vice Premier and Chairman of the CCP Central Committee and Chairman of the CCP Central Military Commission.
Following the death of top leader of the CCP, Mao Zedong, on September 9, 1976, with the support of Ye Jianying, Li Xian-Nian and others, Hua Guo-Feng was the key decision maker to arrest the “Gang of Four” in October the same year.
