The Chinese Communist Party's Use of Force-feeding
2010-12-10Ever since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) came to power, it has worked to destroy traditional Chinese culture, beliefs, and morals at an unprecedented pace. This has resulted in an unbelievably warped society. One such aberration is the CCP's use of force-feeding. Conventionally, force-feeding is intended to supply food and fluids to save the lives of patients. To reduce potential medical errors, this humanitarian emergency treatment is only to be performed by highly trained health care providers at well-equipped hospitals, following strict procedures. Under the CCP rule, however, force-feeding has become a method to inflict harm on or even kill innocent victims, especially Falun Gong practitioners. -
