Changchun City, Jilin Province -- At around 8 p.m. on March 5, 2002, eight channels on Changchun's cable television network began broadcasting Falun Gong truth-clarifying programs such as "Falun Dafa Spreads Throughout the World" and "Self-Immolation or Deception?" The broadcast went on uninterrupted for forty to fifty minutes. This incident sent shockwaves throughout Mainland China.
Sources indicate that at around 8 p.m., as several hundred thousand watched regular network programming, suddenly eight channels that were broadcasting movies, news and financial shows changed to Falun Gong truth-clarifying programming. Shots of the founder of Falun Gong and scenes of group practice by practitioners all over the world unexpectedly appeared in front of many Mainland television viewers. Reactions ranged from surprise to fear, from excitement to shock. Some viewers even thought it was a special advertising program and were confused by it. Undoubtedly, people's hearts were greatly shaken. According to reports from overseas media, cable television stations in Sichuan and Liaoning provinces experienced similar situations.
According to documents, Changchun City Cable Television Network Company was formerly Changchun Cable Television Station, under the jurisdiction of Changchun City Television Broadcasting Bureau. It is the cable television station with the widest coverage in Changchun. Currently the network has 300,000 subscribers, reaching over 1 million viewers. Programming includes feeds from CCTV (Chinese Central TV), Jilin Province, Changchun City and provincial satellite television programs, encompassing 32 channels in all.
This widespread broadcast of the Falun Gong truth-clarifying programming in Mainland China, regardless of who was responsible, has materially broken through the information blockade imposed by the Jiang criminal group against the Chinese people. This was an extraordinary display of courage. According to accounts, this incident has shocked the highest levels of the Chinese central government leadership as well as every level of the state terrorist organization, the infamous "610 Office"
