When slaughtering democratic personages, Jiang Jieshi shamelessly said they were Communists. When the Jiang Jieshi bandits shot Mr. Du Bincheng in Xi'an on the 7th, they announced that Du was the person in charge of the CCP Guanzhong Prefectural Committee. In fact, Mr. Du was the person in charge of the Democratic League in the Northwest, fought for the cause of democracy his entire life, and was revered by the people of the Northwest; he was not a CCP member. The spokesman said that in order to suppress the workers' strike movement in Shanghai, and in order to arrest and slaughter the striking workers, the Jiang Jieshi bandits forged so-called CCP documents, saying that the CCP wanted to destroy Shanghai's power plants. In order to persecute the Democratic League, the bandits fabricated rumors saying that the Democratic League had taken over the CCP's underground work. The bandits arrested many discontented elements in Beiping, including a number of high-ranking officials. Certain officials of the United States government and U.S. secret service agencies, in the past and at present, have all acted as spies for Jiang Jieshi, pointing out to the Jiang Jieshi bandits who these democratic personages and discontented persons are, so that Jiang Jieshi may arrest and slaughter them. Among the people now being persecuted, many are those who had unguardedly and clearly expressed their positions to the bloody butcher Wedemeyer and his ilk, as well as to certain American officials who feigned sympathy for China's democratic movement. The spokesman said that the Jiang Jieshi bandit gang is now carrying out large-scale, brutal persecution of the democratic movement in the areas under Jiang's control, which shows that the Jiang Jieshi bandit gang has already lost confidence in its ability to rule, because the People's Liberation Army has already entered the counter-offensive on all battlefronts, including the Shandong battlefront, causing the bandits to be panic-stricken, and so they are eager to find pretexts for killing people, to make the people not dare to oppose Jiang Jieshi. But slaughter will only cause the anti-Jiang movement to expand. The more frenzied and bloodthirsty a dictator becomes, the closer he is to his demise. This truth has been proven thousands of times by Chinese and foreign history.
