virtually quitting the Party

The Epoch Times, the controversial and strongly anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) paper linked with Falun Gong, claims to have registered over 8 million public withdrawals from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Communist Young Pioneers via its "Quitting the CCP" website.  The number is unverifiable and the withdrawals are not considered official in China. 

The Epoch TImes is probably best known for its 2004 publication of "The Nine Commentaries."  The Nine Commentaries is an over-the-top political tract written in the style of"’Nine Commentaries on the Soviet Communist Party," a 1963 Chinese publication, and includes sections on "On How the Communist Party is an Anti-Universe Force" and "On How the Chinese Communist Party is an Evil Cult."
