By a Western practitioner

On Sunday, August 12th, my wife and I were at the Chinese consulate in Sydney to send out righteous thoughts. Arriving early in the morning at 7am, it is usually a calm and peaceful environment.

After 8.30am, a Chinese man came out of the consulate holding a video camera and started to film practitioners while they were practicing the exercises. The man has been known to insult and intimidate practitioners outside the consulate, on many occasions. He often uses his video camera while insulting us. The last time he blatantly told a western practitioner that China had a history of 5000 years and that Australia had a history of only 200 years meaning that he didn't have any culture and shouldn't talk. This consulate official's behavior displays the total disrespect and arrogance of someone who is supposed to represent China.

This time while he was filming practitioners. My wife and I went towards him with our digital camera to take photos of his evil actions. I told him that his photo would be put on the Minghui Net to expose his malicious nature. This seemed to annoy him very much. He started to walk towards a group of practitioners meditating. My wife wanted to take a photo, but before she had the chance he decided to violently elbow her. She fell back on the consulate garage door while he kept on advancing in her direction saying, "Look at your face. You are Chinese. I can do what I like as this is my building". At that stage I stepped in between him and my wife. He then pushed me too and started to spill out his vicious propaganda in English.

A Chinese practitioner said to him "Why do you hit people like that?" He turned around and said to her "Look at you. You are Chinese. You are making Chinese people lose face." She then simply answered, "You hitting people like that, aren't you the one making Chinese people lose face?"

Then he refocused his attention towards me by putting his video cam close to my face, asking me to tell him my name. I felt very calm while I could see that he was trembling intensely.

It was time for me to go and sit down so as to send out righteous thoughts for the third time. He followed me and while I was sitting, he kept on saying very aggressively "Raise your head, raise your head."

I closed my eyes and recited Master's words "The Fa rectifies the Heavens and the Earth, immediate retribution in this lifetime." He then disappeared.

Until now people like this person would only focus their evilness towards Chinese born practitioners but now it seems that even westerners are being targeted.

This case is one of many in Australia. In the last few weeks practitioners in Canberra and Queensland have been harassed by students from Mainland China claiming to be interested in knowing about the persecution so as to divert attention. They slashed banners and stepped on information boards. They have chosen their position.
