News and current affairs

They don't need to read or hear about the Falun Gong and human rights to make sound investment or purchasing decisions.

Internet monitoring is also behind the constant rise in the number of Falun Gong practitioners executed by the state - a total of 1,692 as of April 18.

Even Western bosses keen on China, it appears, are finding it hard nowadays to praise Jiang, as he crushes the Falun Gong spiritual movement by imprisoning or confining its members to psychiatric hospitals.

Overseas Falun Gong support groups have documented well over a hundred such cases.

That means one begins to avoid tough subjects, like the repression of Falun Gong and its followers.

All the terrible events since then - the Tiananmen Square massacre, persecution of Falun Gong, and repression of civic activists - are the evil fruit of that un-cleansed original sin.

Ironclad taboos prevented public discussion of such subjects as the Cultural Revolution, the Tienanmen Massacre, Falun Gong or other topics perceived as vita the regime's legitimacy and hold on power.

Falun Gong boomed, as did Christianity and other religions.

When, in April 1999, ten thousand members of the Falun Gong sect appeared mysteriously in front of Zhongnanhai, the compound of the Chinese Communist Party's leadership, to be arrested en masse, observers found it hard to explain what was going on.

As wave after wave of Falun Gong supporters arrived in Tiananmen Square to be arrested, however, what began as an aberrant event became the most widespread movement of organized protest in China since 1989.

So, Falung Gong is viewed as an ominous threat to Party hegemony, perhaps even more ominous than any previous protest movement.

In this sense Falun Gong is a double paradox: a traditionalistic movement freighted with deep historical symbolism, it is also a cyber-savvy, modern Chinese protest movement.

Forced removal into mental hospitals of many Falun Gong members is central to this campaign.

The exceptions to this state of affairs are when the Party initiates a propaganda campaign, such as the one associated with the turnover of Hong Kong in 1997, or the more recent anti-Falun Gong blitzkrieg.

Falun Gong boomed, as did Christianity and other religions. Some people embraced nationalism and chauvinism.

Will the Chinese authorities respond to them with ever greater repression, as they have with dissidents and Falun Gong, creating discord and disruption, or will they accommodate new popular demands by moving to greater democracy?
