I walked into the Visa application reception area of the Chinese embassy, and a staff member came up and asked me what I was doing there. I told him I wanted to get my passport renewed. I gave him my passport and he asked me when it expired. He said to himself while browsing the pages of my passport, Oh, its full. I told him that I applied for adding more pages when the blank pages ran out, but the application was refused. He then asked me who dealt with my passport renewal application last time; I told him it was the secretary Mr Wang. He then said if Mr Wang refused, there is nothing he can do.
I started to tell him it was wrong to deprive my rights of holding a valid passport, which is against the Chinese Constitution and the UN Human Rights Covenants. But he just kept saying if Mr Wang refused then he couldnt do anything about it. I said it was wrong Mr Wang told me to renounce Falun Gong before I could get my passport renewed. I will never do such a thing. Then he told me to go home to think about it and came back again whenever I understood (he meant to agree with their condition of getting my passport renewed).
In the meantime, he got a phone call. After the phone call, he came out and told me that there is no way that he will renew my passport. I just wont do it for you, I just wont do it for you, he shouted at me. When I asked why, he merely shouted, No reason, no need explain this to you, he concluded his speech. I said, Fine, thanks, and left this very disappointing place.
This is my third time of passport renewal, and again I was refused.
