"Participating in Politics" and "Emphasizing Politics:" Exposing the Devious Political Games of Jiang's Regime
By a Dafa Disciple from China
1/26/2003 (Clearwisdom.net) In China, if it is said that you are "participating
in politics," it does not imply that you have been asked to play a role in the
political life of China; rather, it is a label to attack those who hold
differing political opinions. Once a person has been slapped with the label of
"participating in politics," they are essentially accused of treason. Hence,
as dozens of political movements have come and gone, the people in China
become uneasy once one speaks of "participating in politics." Not unexpectedly, in the current persecution of Falun Gong, Jiang's regime
is applying the label of "participating in politics" to Falun Gong
practitioners. This is especially preposterous, because Falun Gong
practitioners fundamentally have no interest in politics, have no political
agenda, and certainly do not participate in politics. Some kind-hearted
employers and colleagues have often tried to persuade the Dafa practitioners
in their workplace not to "participate in politics," because everyone knows
that once you are slapped with that label, you will be vulnerable to endless
attacks. In truth, the Chinese people, with thousands of years of culture
behind them, can be said to be among the easiest to rule. Many Chinese people
could care less for fame or personal benefit, and are not interested in their
own political advancement at all. Not everyone in China believes that
political power is so important. The Chinese people do not understand why the
Jiang regime is always so afraid that someone is going to take away its power.
Why do they attack people with the label of "participating in politics?" Hong
Kong has been returned to China for only five years, and the Jiang regime has
already begun to institute the so-called "anti-subversion" legislation of
Article 23. The Jiang regime is mobilizing every means at its disposal to attack Falun
Gong. While trying to demonize Falun Gong by accusing them of being involved
in politics, Jiang is at the same time bombarding everyone with his political
ideology day after day, forcing everyone to "emphasize politics." From this standpoint, the current regime is frightened of the people who
really do "participate in politics," since it does not want anyone to compete
with. Therefore, they use the label of "participating in politics" to attack
people. On the other hand, the regime is also afraid that the people won't
"participate in politics" at all, and therefore will not be motivated by the
political games nor get involved in their political traps, and thus remain a
clear-headed and moral people. Hence, they also try to force the people to
"emphasize" politics but not get involved. This devious, contradictory
position fully exposes Jiang's hypocrisy, irrationality, and complete lack of
morality.
