Several incidents involving explosions occurred in Mainland China in the course of less than twenty days.

From these incidents, we can see that the Chinese society is sitting "on top of a gunpowder barrel," just as the overseas media has described. Besides the explosions, violent criminal cases, corrupt officials' wantonly causing death and injury happened one after another, exposing the darkness of Jiang Zemin's regime. It's a ghastly sight. It resembles the dim landscape of the end of a dynasty. Faced with an unstable regime, Jiang Zemin risked everything in a single, last-ditch effort. He transferred all the blame to the innocent Falun Gong practitioners. So it not only temporarily took attention away from the troubles of Mainland China but also tarnished Falun Gong. It is a case of killing two birds with one stone.

It is believed that Jiang Zemin and his followers will establish a new anti-terror law to attack Falun Gong as an international terrorist organization and to provide a so-called "legal foundation" to persecute Falun Gong. Recently, the Party's mouthpiece, CCTV, featured the case of the "bloody murder within the family." This program aims to influence everyday people into believing that Falun Gong should be persecuted. It also looks for excuses to justify Jiang Zemin's so-called legislation.

However, things will turn around after reaching an extreme, and this will be beyond Jiang Zemin's expectations. Too many lies will make people skeptical in the long run.

The following is a brief summary of the explosion incidents that occurred within the last 20 days:
