Submission: CCP Launches Nationwide Crackdown on Anti-Communist Buddhists Starting at 9 a.m. on May 29, the Chinese Communist authorities launched a coordinated operation in cities including Beijing, Qingdao, Dalian, and provinces such as Sichuan, Guizhou, and Zhejiang, deploying large numbers of police and military forces to raid temples and spiritual centers affiliated with “Master Di Shen.” Buddhist monks, practitioners, and lay followers—including devotees from Taiwan—were arrested. Police forcibly entered temples, taking away people regardless of age, and detained them in holding facilities where they were coerced into signing “letters of repentance” or “pledges of compliance.” According to the submitter, Chinese public security has labeled the “Di Shen sect” as a cult solely because it refuses to obey the Communist Party, rejects the so-called “socialist Buddhism,” refrains from eating meat, and abstains from sexual misconduct. Available information indicates that Master Di Shen, surnamed Lü, was born in 1963 in Wafangdian, Liaoning Province. He advocates for “eliminating the evil Communist Party” and is currently living in exile abroad. His YouTube channel, Teachings of Master Di Shen, contains multiple videos calling for opposition to the CCP.
**”Changning, Hunan: Hundreds of Students Surround Police Vehicles to Protest Arrest of Classmates on Campus (June 3, 2025)”** In Changning, a county-level city in Hengyang, Hunan Province, a clash erupted between police and hundreds of students after officers entered a local school to arrest three students. On the evening of June 3, hundreds of senior students at Changning Shangyu School spontaneously organized a dormitory shouting event on campus, a common ritual to relieve stress ahead of China’s national college entrance examination, the *gaokao*. According to students, the event became so energetic that the school reported it to authorities. In response to the report, police entered the school and arrested three students believed to be the organizers. The arrests quickly sparked outrage among their peers, who formed a human barrier in front of the police vehicles, shouting slogans such as “Withdraw from school! Refund our fees!” and demanding the release of the detained students. Despite their efforts, the students were ultimately unable to stop the police vehicles. Officers used force to push the students aside, allowing the vehicles to leave campus as students looked on helplessly while their classmates were taken away.

Dongguan, Guangdong: Hundreds of Migrant Workers Resist Toll Fee Demolition Station (June 2, 2025)
On Monday night, hundreds of migrant workers living in Yangyong Village, Dalang Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, launched a collective protest to resist a “village enclosure toll” policy and ultimately forced its cancellation.
According to several protesters at the scene, given the current grim employment situation and immense living pressures, many migrant workers are struggling to make ends meet and cannot afford the additional monthly parking fees. As a result, the implementation of this policy immediately sparked widespread dissatisfaction and strong resistance.
Around 6 p.m., protesters began gathering in front of the toll station, blocking traffic to voice their demands. The crowd continued to grow, eventually reaching several hundred people. Protesters chanted slogans such as “Tear down the barrier,” calling for an immediate cancellation of the toll policy and the dismantling of related facilities.
By around 10 p.m., under pressure from the protesters, local authorities dispatched workers to dismantle all toll collection equipment. The crowd then gradually dispersed, and the toll policy, which had just been implemented the day before, was officially scrapped.
