A New York-based organization has said its official website and related platforms were recently hit by large-scale cyberattacks.

The Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—a volunteer organization that helps Chinese citizens withdraw from the Party and its affiliated organizations—disclosed that its network and related platforms have recently been subjected to massive cyberattacks.

The Center was established shortly after The Epoch Times published the editorial series Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in 2004, which strongly criticized the CCP.

The “Quit the Party” movement was directly inspired by the Nine Commentaries.

Many of its key leaders and volunteers practice Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa—a spiritual discipline that originated in China in 1992 with the core principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. The movement has been persecuted by the CCP since 1999.

Attacks Began on the Eve of Trump’s Visit to China

Xiao Jun, the center’s technical head, told the Chinese edition of The Epoch Times on June 10 that the highly targeted, large-scale cyberattack began on the eve of President Donald Trump’s visit to China on May 13 and lasted until the end of May.

Xiao Jun said the most intense DDoS attack involved more than 110,000 requests per second at its peak, with 300 million malicious requests blocked within a 45-minute window.

Google confirmed the attacks were “government-backed,” according to Xiao Jun.

He added that attackers also used non-technical methods, including filing complaints with domain registrars and hosting providers, accusing the center of hosting phishing, illegal, or abusive content, and attempting to access associated accounts.

Bomb Threats

Separately, the center reported receiving a bomb threat on April 22, 2025, posted in Chinese on its website.

The message threatened violence against a Falun Gong parade scheduled for April 25 in Flushing, Queens, including claims that “vehicles would ram participants, gunfire would be used, and homemade bombs would be detonated.”

Similar threatening messages were also sent to the Queens Public Library’s Flushing branches, stating that bombs would be detonated if the Falun Gong parade proceeded.

The New York Police Department said that both threat emails contained similar content and originated from IP addresses in China.

Wang Zhiyuan, chairman of the Tuidang Center, told NTD on June 11 that he believed the cyberattacks and threats were carried out by the CCP or groups linked to it.

“What is the CCP afraid of? I believe it fears the daily increase in the number of people withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations,” Wang said.

To date, the cumulative number of people who have declared their withdrawal globally on the center’s website has exceeded 462 million. This number accounts for more than 30 percent of the official population of China.

“This suppression will not stop us,” Wang said.

The Chinese consulate in New York did not respond to requests for comment.
