Nuernberger Nachrichten [German newspaper] Reports on Falun Gong Activities in Nuremburg
2001-12-12Professor Mr. Rudolf Wagner concurs with [Mr.Zhang’s] views. He is chairman of the Sinology Institute at the University of Heidelberg. This scientist surmises further that, “The [Chinese] ruling party fears for their organization’s monopoly and lives by the dictum that people outside the Communist party might develop their own spiritual value system.” He sees the manifold critique by the PRC’s authorities as “preposterous.”Again and again one hears reports of arrests, torture and even killings of men and women who have done nothing [wrong] except practise the exercises together. -
Taipei Times: Cheering of US attacks - the result of propagandacies
2001-12-12Following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials and members of the public in China could be heard cheering the misfortunes of the US. One journalist at an official English-language newspaper called a friend, opening the conversation with the laudatory exclamation "Nice job!" The friend on the other side was left flabbergasted.

HOW CHINA'S GOVERNMENT IS ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL CHINESE MEDIA IN AMERICA [summarized excerpts]
2001-11-30The 2000 Census also revealed that 80 percent of all Chinese-Americans live in twelve major U.S. cities; all these cities are targeted by the Chinese government with propaganda. They have effectively infiltrated all major U.S. cities home to Chinese-Americans with half-truths and gross misinformation. But for many of the United States' 2.4 million Chinese-Americans, such reporting might be all that they read, hear or see.
