  • On the Chinese Communist Party's Trampling on Freedom of Belief Under the Banner of "Atheism" - Part II

    In the fabricated lies and slanders used in persecuting Falun Gong, the CCP focused on demonising Falun Gong's belief in gods. They have suppressed upright religions and ways' beliefs in gods. The CCP propaganda talked extensively about the adverse effect of ignorant and backward "superstition," as well as "witches and sorcerers," which have no relationship with Falun Gong. This is absolutely not the real underlying connotation of "belief in gods."
  • Staff Member Quits Administration for Persecuting Falun Gong After Coming to See the Truth

    He added that through the five years of persecution that he had witnessed, all of the arrested practitioners had been good people who observed public order, abided by the law and worked hard without complaint or desire for personal gain or fame. However, the authorities jailed these good people for persecution in labour camps, detention centres, psychiatric hospitals and brainwashing centres. So many corrupt officials, including the plant managers had divided and weakened society by making so many workers lose their jobs, only to face hunger and the lack of means to pay for medical care or their children's schooling.
  • Is Sun Kong "Getting Political?"

    If you have read the Chinese classic novel "Journey to the West," you no doubt loved the stories of how Sun Kong eliminated demons. Do you remember the story about the Wuji Kingdom? A demon killed the king of the Wuji Kingdom and disguised himself as the king. Sun Kong saw through his trick with his sharp eyes. However, the demon had deceived the people so much that even the prince wouldn't believe Sun Kong.
  • On the Chinese Communist Party's Trampling the Freedom of Belief Under the Banner of "Atheism" - Part I

    "I'd like to ask you the following question. If, upon death, I find that God does not exist whatsoever, that Jesus is not the son of God, and that what is said in the Bible is not true, what loss do I suffer if I believed in Jesus for my whole life?" The scholar who advocated atheism thought about her question for quite a while. The whole audience kept quiet. They agreed with the woman's reasoning. Even the atheist scholar was amazed by the pure and simple logic in the woman's question. He replied in a low voice, "I don't think you'll suffer any loss."
  • Comments on the Chinese Communist Party's Persecution of Falun Gong Overseas (Part I)

    What Jiang is most afraid of is that the foreign governments and their righteous officials will stand up to oppose the persecution of Falun Gong. Therefore, Jiang has ordered the Chinese Embassies and Consulates to exhaust their efforts to promote slanderous propaganda and apply diplomatic and economic pressure to the different levels of foreign government officials.
  • Large-Scale Arrest by the Evil Party is an Act of Desperation

    I will never forget the evening of July 20th 1999. My heart sunk when I heard that the CCP's Jiang regime was conducting massive, nationwide arrests of volunteer Falun Gong contact people. Although I was in the U.S. at the time, I could almost feel the air thickening, as I had flashbacks of the time when I grew up under the CCP's rule of terror. Six years have passed. After witnessing the battle between the upright and the evil, when I again heard that the evil CCP is conducting the largest arrest and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners since July 20th 1999, I had totally different feelings.
  • Jiang Renzheng’s Three-year Sentence in a Forced Labour Camp Reflects the Evil Nature of the Chinese Communist Party

    On April the 8th, the Municipal Public Security Department in Benxi City, Liaoning Province took away Jiang Renzheng, a Falun Gong practitioner, who has just returned from Germany to China. On April 9th, they detained him in a labour camp in Benxi city and was immediately sentenced to three years forced labour education without any legal procedure. Even more ridiculous was the reason for his forced labour education: he was suspected of having an association with the Falun Gong organisation and accused of destabilising social order and violating the national order.
  • How the Chinese Communist Party Spreads Lies in Order to Persecute Falun Gong (Part I)

    Persecution is always built on lies. In 64 AD, the Roman emperor Nero set in motion a large-scale persecution of Christians. Rome was set on fire and Christians were blamed for it. From 1938 to 1945, Hitler perpetrated genocide against the Jews, espousing a theory that they were an inferior human race. It sounds absurd today, but for many people at the time, it seemed to provide enough grounds for the persecution. Because many people believed the carefully fabricated lies, those who opposed the persecution were silenced by force.
  • A Former Burn Patient Exposes China Central TV's "Tiananmen Self-Immolation" Fraud by Sharing His First-Hand Experiences

    I saw on TV that Liu Siyin was covered by a sheet and lying in bed when the reporter, wearing street clothes, went into the room. Immediately I thought to myself, "Why is Liu Siyin covered with a sheet? Why isn't the reporter wearing special clothes and a disinfected respirator? Why is this being broadcast all over China and to the rest of the world? If Liu Siyin had windpipe surgery, how can she talk just four days after the surgery? Her voice is clear when she sings. Isn't this all just acting?"

  • Reference Material: Accuracy in Media Speech on China's Great Firewall of Information Control

    The following are remarks given by Sherrie Gossett on April 12th, 2005 at a forum at the NY Press Club. The topic was French satellite provider Eutelsat's decision to terminate independent Chinese language TV station NTDTV's broadcast into China, following lucrative business contracts with China. Also discussed was the broader pattern of information control by Beijing.
  • Many Prisoners at Weibei Prison in Shangdong Province Ask to Learn Falun Gong

    Their attempts to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners have failed. Also, despite their research on the criminal mind over the past 25 years, they have been unable to fundamentally change the criminals' ways of thinking. In contrast, after the criminals were exposed to Falun Gong practitioners for several years, they abandoned their criminal thoughts and began to follow the good examples of the practitioners. They began doing good deeds and indeed have become good people, learning to practise Falun Gong from the inner most part of their hearts.

  • A Labour Camp Guard, A Doctor, and a Policeman Learn the Truth: Three Stories

    A Falun Gong practitioner spoke to a guard in the Tianjin City Jianxin Labour Camp about Falun Gong, informing him of the truth. This guard said, "I have read all of Falun Gong's books, and I know you are good people. When authorities give orders, we have no choice but to execute them. We now no longer beat practitioners. Very few of us still administer beatings, just the ones who are seeking promotions."
  • How the Chinese Communist Party Membership Is Forced on Students in China from Elementary School to University

    I said, "Because what I know is different from what the media says. Falun Gong teaches people to be good and talks about truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. What's wrong with that? Shouldn't a person be sincere, kind and tolerant? I think that all human beings should be like that regardless of whether they are Communist Party members or not." They still smiled and said, "Then you mean a Communist Party member should also follow 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance?'" "Yes." I said very firmly.
