As Jiang Leaves, the Dark, Dense Haze Disperses and Clear Sky Returns Over Houston Again (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) As Jiang left the region, all news posted about his agenda once again
"temporarily disappeared" from websites. Starting from the early hours of October 29,
eastern time, a clear sky finally returned to Houston after a few days of clouds and rainy
conditions that cast a dark and dense haze over the area. Unfortunately and strangely, an unusual
cold weather front turned rain into sleet as evening approached in New York. Falun Gong
practitioners' global activity of sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements in
other dimensions will not be slowed, instead these activities will continue persistently. President Bush's Texas ranch at Crawford, around 7 pm on October 24, 2002, a day

private plane" returned to Beijing on the afternoon of October 29, Beijing time. Jiang himself
once again displayed his old tactics, just as he has done on his previous state visits. All news
about him and his whereabouts that can be verified in the media suddenly disappeared. When "Jiang's
private plane" arrived at Beijing, Premier Zhu Rongji and Vice Chairman Hu Jintao received him
at the airport. Li Peng, the President of the National People's Congress, and Li Ruihuan, the
Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, on the other hand, neither saw
him off nor did they greet to him when he returned. These actions caused a lot of attention. More than ten groups from both China and other countries protested Jiang's visit
to San Francisco on October 28, 2002 On October 28, the last stop of Jiang's visit to the US was San Francisco. San Francisco Mayor
Mr. Brown prepared a large-scale luncheon. At the same time, nearly one thousand protesters also
held a large parade outside the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco. The Northern California
Taiwanese Association, Amnesty International, Northern California Tibet Association, China
Democracy, China Democratic Dissidents and other groups occupied the streets and marched around the
Chinese Consulate. They raised banners and signs with various appeals and protests. Falun Gong
practitioners held a peaceful appeal during the visit. Many American people driving by the site also honked their car horns to show support toward the
protesters. |
