Notable coverage 'Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party' editorials In November 2004, the Chinese version of The Epoch Times published a series of editorials titled "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party . "  The editorials argued that China would not be free or prosperous until it was rid of the party, which it said was at odds with China's cultural and spiritual values. In addition to the editorial, The Epoch Times organized an associated campaign , called Tuidang movement, urging people to quit the Chinese Communist Party  said that more than 2 million people had resigned.  Millions of copies of the  articles circulated in China through e-mails, faxes, and underground printing houses , according to a guest opinion article in The Christian Science Monitor by Caylan Ford, a former staff writer for The Epoch Times . Ford wrote that the campaign differed from the 1989 and 2008 democracy movements in China by drawing on Buddhist and Daoist spirituality. A report by the OpenNet Initiative said that 90\% of websites mentioning the phrase "Nine Commentaries" were blocked in mainland China as of 2005. The "Tuidang " movement , calling for people to quit the Chinese Communist Party was selected as the one of the top global events in 2011 by Russian economist Andrey Illarionov, who cited claims by The Epoch Times that over 100 million people had quit. Li Yi, a Hong Kong-based democratic activist, criticized The Epoch Times for fabricating the number of resignation on its website. In his Apple Daily opinion piece , Li Yi calculated that the proclaimed resignation count has far exceeded the total membership of the Chinese Communist Party. He called the "Tuidang " movement using "lies to fight lies", and  the propagandistic nature of the movement will eventually hurt the integrity of  pro-democracy community. According to China scholar David Ownby, the Nine Commentaries are a "condemnation of communism and a direct indictment of the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party's rule in China." While acknowledging the "unnecessary violence" the Chinese Communist Party has inflicted, Ownby finds that the lack of balance and nuance in tone and style makes the editorials resemble "anti-Communist propaganda written in Taiwan in the 1950s .
