How would one measure a good nation or a bad one? Isnt it just like the way one can measure good or bad people? What makes a good person is integrity, kindness, consideration of others, righteousness etc. What makes a bad person is dishonesty, cheating, harming others, selfishness etc. Although superficially one may admire someone for having wealth, power or good reputation, deep down, only those people who conduct themselves with dignity and humanity are truly respected. Such people are not likely to be any less wealthy, less well-known, or less powerful. It is just that their wealth is acquired through honest hard work, their reputation is built on their integrity, and their power is based on respect.
Then as a nation, which characteristic would one rather reflect?. Abandoning moral obligations to gain short-lived and insubstantal advantages loses the trust and respect of other nations, leading to long-term losses and disadvantages. Conversely the integrity and humanity of a nation are their own reward, but also bring with them the long-term prosperity which comes with the respect and trust of other nations.
There is nothing to be gained in helping the persecution of innocent people who practice Falun Gong, but everything to lose. Do not allow any illusion of short-term gains, fears, or slanderous propaganda to allow Jiangs evil regime to ruin the dignity and integrity of your nation. Stand tall, be noble, and do not take a single further step down Jiangs Regime's dark path.
