A Chinese soccer legend has called for the downfall of the Communist Party in shock videos

Source: CNN

A retired Chinese soccer star has openly called for the downfall of China's ruling Communist Party... Hao Haidong, 50, was a household name among millions of soccer fans in China in the 1990s and 2000s..

Hao read out in Chinese a manifesto of the "Federal State of New China," a government proposed by Guo as an alternative to the Chinese Communist regime. "The Communist Party's totalitarian rule in China has caused horrific atrocities against humanity," he said, denouncing the party as a "terrorist organization" that has "trampled over democracy, violated the rule of law and dishonored lawful agreements.... I think the Chinese Communist Party should be kicked out of humanity. The ghost of Communism should no longer be allowed to drift in this world. This is what I've concluded after 50 years of living."

"Guo is known to have close ties with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. In another video released on Guo's YouTube channel Thursday, Bannon read out an English version of the "Federal State of New China" from a boat, with Guo by his side."

Guo is the one that released the videos on YouTube. I guess Bannon is running out of time on his new world order BS.

Would has bunker buddy send in the troops to save him ?

I suppose after the miserable US response to the pandemic, followed by nationwide social unrest caused by US oppression of the African- American community, highlighted by daily pictures of US police brutality in the world media, they had to come up with something.
