History of Chinese Communist Party arrests of hard workers in the 1990s

In the 1990s in mainland China, the Chinese Communist Party called it the "early stage of reform and opening up".

After the Great Famine, the Cultural Revolution, and after farmers in a small village signed a "survival or death contract" with the local government to start private production activities, and after countless "private economic activities" were arrested, the authoritarian party CCP finally decided to "reform and open up", and then attributed all the achievements to the "wise decision of the party and leaders".

In the early days of reform and opening up, the CCP used several cities near Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau as pilot "special economic zones"; at that time, Chinese people needed an additional “visa” to enter the "special economic zones", called "border passes", and the CCP deployed a large number of "Border police" to search whether visitors and residents of the special economic zones held "border passes". Economic refugees or hard workers without "border passes" would be fined or imprisoned.

At that time, the "border pass" was a deep chain of corruption. In the CCP's power system, even the lowest-level officials could use the "border pass" to get huge returns.

Like any authoritarian government, the CCP is good at covering up and falsifying history to legitimize their power,and maintaining their "eternal greatness" by suppressing the truth and different voices. Today, the younger generation of Chinese people believe that China's "reform and opening up" was the wise leadership of the CCP, not the "survival or death contract" of the suffering people forced them to change.
