  • UK: Conversations with Chinese Students – “Jiang Zemin? We don’t like him!”

    The response we received was amazing. The Chinese students seemed to have been waiting for us and we couldn’t clarify the truth fast enough. One young lady talked with a practitioner about the way Jiang’s regime treat practitioners in China. She knew about the persecution of Falun Gong and stated clearly that it is wrong. The girl told the practitioner that Chinese people all share the same disdain for this dictator who is bringing a bad name to China.

    Instead of practitioners handing out materials, people were coming up to practitioners and asking for information whilst they watched the Falun Gong exercise demonstration.
