Why Does the Jiang Regime Persecute Falun Gong?
By Jin Xin
(Clearwisdom.net) When people hear the truth about the persecution, they often ask, "Why
does the the Jiang regime persecute Falun Gong? Why does this regime treat a group of people with
such brutality, just for cultivating their bodies and minds?" Everyone with rational thinking
finds it ridiculous. In fact, when people ask such questions, they are assuming that those who abuse their power by
persecuting innocent practitioners are rational, normal people. However, facts have already proven
that these persecutors are completely devoid of rationality and human nature, and they should not be
judged with normal logic. Furthermore, they are using the very confusion of people who do not know
the truth to spread lies and slander in an attempt to legitimatize their evil persecution. Did Jesus
do anything wrong? Why did those people who brought false charges against him cruelly kill Jesus? Is
there any single reason to allow the Jiang regime to wantonly massacre, detain and torture innocent
Falun Gong practitioners? There is only one reason for this persecution, and that is that Jiang, who
created and implemented the policies to persecute Falun Gong, is too evil to accept
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance, and he cannot put up with people following this principle. Right now, only lies can sustain the existence of this persecution. All governments and people
who have learned the truth have stood up and condemned and opposed it. Where the truth reaches, the
environment of lies upon which the evil persecution relies for its existence is cleared out. As for
those who are still hesitating, most still think the persecutors have normal thinking, and they have
not realized how evil these persecutors are. As Falun Gong practitioners who have witnessed and experienced this brutal persecution first
hand, we see clearly that there is no rational reason whatsoever for this persecution. It is
completely wrong. After enduring three years of illegal detention, brutal physical torture, forced
brainwashing and even murder, Dafa practitioners are still persisting in their belief in a peaceful
and rational manner without any inappropriate words or actions. The facts have already proven that
we do not constitute any threat to anyone. Can it be justified to persecute a group simply because there are too many people in the group?
Can it be considered reasonable for a person in power to carry out brutal persecution simply because
he thinks someone might threaten his rule? Unfortunately, the declining morality makes people
consider such willful persecution as normal. Some people even think that this is the way politics
is. The propaganda machine in Mainland China that creates lies has even gone so far as to present the
illegal persecution of Falun Gong as something which protects the interests of the people and the
country; thus it has deceived the broad masses of the people. The main trick it uses is to claim
that Falun Gong practitioners have political motives, while in fact all we ask is an environment in
which our practice is protected by law, and we do not have any political goals. What their claim
implies is that once [Falun Gong] is regarded as a political enemy they would have a free
hand in their persecution without any legal or constitutional restraints, and those in power can do
whatever they want. This is actually blatantly denying the principles of justice. After several
decades of brainwashing, many Chinese people have unconsciously become accustomed to obeying any
order from the "government" without thinking, and they are unable even to recognize that
their thoughts are forced upon them by the government. In addition, since the present Chinese
society is overflowing with material desires, people have become indifferent to things other than
making money, and they respond callously when others suffer brutal persecution. Another often-used propaganda trick by Jiang's regime is to claim that Falun Gong practitioners
are only a minority, and all other people disapprove of Falun Gong--thus the persecutors can
pretend to represent the "majority of the people." When Falun Gong practitioners tell
people the truth via various peaceful means, Jiang and his accomplices show extreme fear and
anxiety, and they even order police to shoot practitioners who post flyers on the spot. Why is
Jiang's clique so fearful? This is because when all the people in Mainland China learn the truth,
the environment upon which the evil relies for its existence will completely crumble. People will
then realize that this scoundrel political gang of a handful of villains, who squander taxpayers'
money to brutally persecute hundreds of millions of people who pay taxes, does not represent the
nation. People will see that this evil gang is truly pushing the nation towards an abyss. Moreover, Jiang's regime also labels the governments that ask them to improve human rights and
treat their own citizen well as Western "anti-China forces." This is actually an excuse
the Jiang regime uses to cover up its crime of persecuting people. In a civilized society, respect
for freedom of belief and speech is an international standard. China has also signed related
international pacts and promised to protect such rights of its citizens. Therefore, it is only
natural that when Jiang's group tramples on the people's human rights, the international media will
condemn such actions, and this is how international laws apply restraints in a modern civilized
society. Every country praises China's resplendent history and culture. Every country pays attention
to China's tremendous markets. On the other hand, who would want to shake hands with a dictator
whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people? Who would want to do business with a
government that massacres its own people? In fact, many people have no idea how these persecutors "represent" them. In 2001, in a
district of Beijing, eight million Yuan (about one million dollars) was spent during the Chinese
Spring Festival period alone on monitoring Falun Gong practitioners. Since the beginning of the
persecution, Jiang and his followers have injected astronomical amounts of money into the prison and
police systems. In order to cover up its violations of human rights before a Human Rights Commission
meeting, the Jiang regime bought the support of a number of small third world countries with large
amounts of money, yet during natural disasters and accidents at home, this large government is
unable to provide adequate relief to its people. Behind the temporary and superficial
"prosperity" sustained by astronomical deficit spending and false reports on economic
growth is a huge debt that the next generation will have to pay. Meanwhile, millions of kind Falun
Gong practitioners and their families have been broken up and many practitioners were forced to
leave home to avoid illegal arrest--and still the persecutors are pursuing and trying to capture
them. The extent of baseness and brutality demonstrated by Jiang's criminal group in their persecution
of Falun Gong practitioners has by far exceeded that of the Great Cultural Revolution. The arrests,
brainwashing, torture and murder of Falun Gong practitioners are crimes. The use of rampant,
widespread propaganda to deceive the public and defile public opinion are utterly villainous
actions. Jiang's regime created certain "laws" solely to provide a legal framework for the
persecution of Falun Gong, and the show-trials they have conducted have trampled on the Chinese
Constitution and law. Numerous facts in the last three years have proved that Jiang is an evil
political scoundrel who is devoid of all human nature and rationality. This is the sole cause for
this persecution. August 1, 2002 |
