2003-08-26
These photos were taken from autumn 1998 to spring 1999. The photos showed Falun Dafa's rapid development in Shijiazhuang City, and the growth in the number of practitioners between 1998 and 1999. -
Reference material: The Chinese Economy on a Rotten Foundation (Part II)
2003-08-26
Beneath the veil of the rapid growth of the Chinese economy lies the question of whether or not it entails underlying dooming factors. While high economic growth is an aspect that many countries seek, it cannot be the sole aim of a nation's economy. This is because it could come at the cost of other economic necessities, i.e. social justice, environmental safety, payment fairness, etc. These sacrifices are extremely detrimental to China. The reform as executed in China could only lead to the economic demise of the country. -
Reference Material: The Chinese Economy on a Rotten Foundation (Part I)
2003-08-24Many foreign investors, who have benefitted from special treatment by the government, believe that China is an investor's paradise. China's economic growth has made a positive impression on many people. Despite what it appears to be on the surface, there are still problems underneath the progressive growth. They are found in the areas of economic growth, foreign investment, trade, finance, banking, state ownership, unemployment, income distribution and social factors. -
China: The Trial to Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice Has Already Begun in People's Hearts
2003-08-23"As a matter of fact, the Party has already been ruined by Jiang. Jiang knows clearly that he has ruined the Party so he dares not let go of the military power. However, his days are numbered. It's not only Falun Gong who wants to bring Jiang to justice in the international court, but it is also the Chinese people who want to put him on trial. Now, in China, everyone, adults and children alike, all curse Jiang. He is condemned by the entire population." -
A Unique Insight: Conversations With a Friend Who Was Forced into Persecuting Falun Gong
2003-08-23In 2001, I met with a middle-school classmate of mine. He's now head of a personnel department of a certain national bureau. During our chat I talked about Falun Gong. I told him that I had cultivated for a few years and as a result I became healthy. Unexpectedly, he immediately followed: "I'm very familiar with Falun Gong. I take charge of talking with Falun Gong practitioners (to force them to give up cultivation) in my work unit." Then he spent an hour telling me how his work unit "dealt with" the Falun Gong practitioners. -
The Complete Illegality of the Jiang Regime's Persecution of Falun Gong (Part 3 of 3)
2003-08-21The various levels of the "610 offices" form an independent but integrated system that has authority over the Chinese Communist Party, every level of government, and the judicial system. Each level is responsible only to its upper level "610 office." You will never find any legal basis for the foundation of the "610 office" no matter how you search through all the Chinese laws. The 610 Office can only be compared to the notorious Gestapo of Nazi Germany, or the KGB of the former Soviet Union... -
Commentary: Jiang is the Chief Villain Who Has Undermined Human Morality in China
2003-08-21As of today, many cases of rape involving female Dafa practitioners have taken place in China. As a matter of fact, many male practitioners have also encountered sexual assaults. Why do the police dare to commit such shameless crimes so brazenly and why is there no basic human nature left in them? For a period of time, I couldn't find a clear answer to this question. What is the root cause of such corrosive developments? Who has unleashed the beast in the police? -
The Complete Illegality of the Jiang Regime's Persecution of Falun Gong (Part 2 of 3)
2003-08-19The declaration bases a person's guilt on his or her ways of thinking. Everything that is linked to Falun Gong is prohibited. "It is prohibited for anybody to hang or post banners that promote Falun Gong." Implementing such a prohibition is like taking China back to the era of the first emperor of the Qin dynasty, who "burned all books, rounded up dissident scholars and burned them alive." [The notorious tyrant, Qin Shihuang, a Chinese emperor of the Qin Dynasty is known in history for doing this.] -
Comments from a Non-Practitioner: History Repeats Itself
2003-08-19I have never ever practiced Falun Gong, or any other qigong, but as an educated everyday person that has a basic ability to judge between right and wrong, I think it is time for me to step out in fairness to Falun Gong. I could keep my mouth closed in silence, but my conscience won't let me wait any longer. Four years are long enough for me to observe, think, and judge. -
The Persecution of Falun Gong Is a Spiritual Disaster for All Chinese People
2003-08-18The stories concocted by the Chinese Communist propaganda machine to frame Falun Gong are very superficial. A little bit of digging quickly reveals the lies. It is not very difficult to see the truth of Falun Gong. However, since the suppression of Falun Gong launched by the Chinese Communist Party is closely related to violence and the Party's self-interest, people who feel sympathetic towards Falun Gong may lose their official positions, their jobs, or their properties or even be jailed. -
The Complete Illegality of the Jiang Regime's Persecution of Falun Gong (Part 1 of 3)
2003-08-18In Mainland China, ruled by a dictatorship, the multitude of political campaigns of suppression, and today's persecution of Falun Gong - none of these movements or campaigns have had any legal foundation. The highest government executive body, the National People's Congress, and all the law enforcement agencies, from top to bottom, are just manifestations of the dictator's personal will, so the Party can shoot the arrow first then draw the bull's eye later. Discussions of whether Falun Gong is "legal" or "illegal" are simply meaningless. -
Letter from an Internet Friend in China: "Everyone Can See It Clearly"
2003-08-17This friend and I have been in correspondence via the Internet for over a year. At the beginning she dared not talk about Qi Gong, let along Falun Gong. After gradually gaining her trust through our communication, she told me that she actually used to like Qi Gong. She was also interested in Falun Gong. As she understood more about the truth, she expressed her strong support for Falun Gong and volunteered to tell her friends the facts about Falun Gong. -
People in China Who Have Gained Better Understandings of Dafa
2003-08-17One woman invited a Dafa practitioner to steal something from a neighbourhood military base. The practitioner told this woman that stealing was wrong. She told this woman about "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance," and explained the facts about the government's slander of Dafa. This woman suddenly came to understand and said: "So, that is what Falun Gong really is! Now that I know, I will never steal again." -
Commentary: My Conscience Forbids Me to Keep Silent Any Longer
2003-08-16I would never have believed it possible for a person with a kind and honest nature to be forced to use cruel torture on people who simply wanted to go out to appeal, had I not heard it with my own ears. It is because of this personal experience and because I have heard and seen so much darkness in the judicial system, that when I read the following material I could only believe everything was true -
The Asian Wall Street Journal: The Perils Of Speaking Out In China
2003-08-16'Having worked in China's state-controlled press for nearly three years, perhaps I should have realized that I was skating on thin ice by giving an interview to a U.S. radio station at the height of the recent SARS crisis. But never for a moment did I imagine it would cause me to lose my job, be forced to leave my apartment within 48 hours, and be blacklisted from working for related publications.'
