(Clearwisdom.net) On September 14, many Chinese state-run media including Xinhua.net, People.com, and Sino.com related an interview with a spokesperson from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the dismissal of the lawsuit against Jiang Zemin from the United States District Court of Illinois.
On October 2002, when Jiang Zemin visited Chicago, Falun Gong filed a lawsuit against him for genocide at a local district federal court. Since then, Jiang Zemin has been pressing the US government to dismiss the case. In the meantime, Falun Gong also received a lot of support from non-governmental organizations, lawyers, and members of congress. The Court only just reached its decision almost a year later.
The CCP has never publicly acknowledged this lawsuit. It even denied it in the beginning. Jiang Zemin must have carefully weighed the pros and cons to allow the government's mouthpiece to publish this news in such a high profile way.
First, Falun Gong has already spread the news that Jiang Zemin has been sued for genocide through various means in China, including intercepting TV signals there. Many people are discussing it. Jiang could no longer pretend that it did not exist.
Secondly, the Court's ruling is good for Jiang Zemin, which is the result he has been trying to obtain for the past year through pressuring the US government. For the past two years, the US has many responsibilities and a long way to go in its anti-terrorism task; its affairs with countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, and North Korea all need China's help. Especially during the current nuclear crisis in North Korea, China's special relationship with North Korea is its heavy stick in threatening the US. The fact that Falun Gong could carry the case for more than a year is already a tremendous victory of morality and justice.
Furthmore, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seriously twisted the facts in the writing and made it advantageous to Jiang Zemin. Let's take a look here:
1. "US Court dismisses Falun Gong's false charge of a Chinese leader"
This is misleading as if that the US Court dismissed the case because it found the charges were false. Actually, whether it is a false charge or not should be decided by the judge after listening to the arguments of both sides in the courtroom. Isn't that what Falun Gong wants? How could anyone draw such a conclusion without formally establishing the case?
2. Who is the Chinese leader being accused?
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not dare to give Jiang Zemin's name and just said a Chinese leader in general. Obviously, Jiang Zemin does not think that he has won an honorable victory.
3. "Falun Gong used various mean and dirty tactics"
In this people-against-official lawsuit, what kind of mean and dirty tactics could Falun Gong, as ordinary people, use? They asked the Court to uphold justice because Jiang killed many of their people. Isn't this a routine way in a law abiding country? Had Jiang Zemin considered himself so innocent, he would have the guts to appear in court and let his defense as well as Falun Gong's witness testimony be heard by the world. If he is innocent, wouldn't it be more powerful to let the judge announce in Court that Falun Gong's charges are false? All Falun Gong could do was to call for support from righteous people in society. Can this be called "mean and dirty"?
Actually, we have learned from the media that it was Jiang Zemin who has been using "mean and dirty tactics". Those tactics including using China's potential market, China's United Nations veto, China's influence in North Korea and sacrificing Chinese people's benefits to force the US to compromise are truly "mean and dirty". The US government openly requested the Court to dismiss the case. Behind this, how many mean and dirty tactics had Jiang Zemin used? As the leader of a democratic country, the US is entangled in many international anti-terrorism affairs. Jiang Zemin took this opportunity and made the US fail to uphold justice. Jiang Zemin is acting just like the villain which we Chinese people most despise.
4. "Disturb and destroy the Sino-American relationship"
Relationships between countries could only be stable, healthy and long-lasting on the basis of mutual trust. The Sino-American relationship's unpredictability is the result of Jiang Zemin's political game. For his personal benefit, Jiang Zemin transformed the relationship into a bargain market which is a poison lethal to the long-term Sino-American relationship. In order to obtain Jiang Zemin's cooperation in dealing with other terrorist countries, the US has to tolerate Jiang for his totalitarism of the Chinese people. This is not something from the US government's heart. However, as soon as Jiang Zemin prevails, the persecution becomes more unscrupulous. This ridicules people in the world who seek freedom and democracy. Once the US does not depend on Jiang, the situation will surely change. This is why the Sino-American relationship has been unpredictable in the past years and Jiang has played this game to the extreme.
5. "The US Court's decision of dismissing the lawsuit made up of false charges is correct and wise"
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs left people confused with a speech that had no beginning or end. It avoided answering many factual issues, which is routine practice for Jiang Zemin's media.
Take "intercepting TV" as an example, what is the content of the program? They dare not reveal it. A friend in mainland China said, "Falun Gong did so many things like suicide, self-immolation, and murder, yet still wants to spread Falun Gong through e-mail and intercepting TV. No one likes to hear it." Actually, the purpose of Falun Gong intercepting TV or clarifying the truth is not at all spreading Falun Gong, but exposing the lies of Jiang Zemin. They come to tell you the truth when you believe the lies. Jiang Zemin does not dare to tell the people exactly what the content is of the Falun Gong truth program.
It is the same with this lawsuit. Why was Jiang Zemin charged by Falun Gong? Which crime was he charged with? The spokesperson of Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not mention.
The spokesperson's words give people the impression that Jiang has won something. In fact, the US Court only dismissed the case under diplomatic pressure rather than ruling whether Jiang is guilty or not. The best description for this scenario should be: Jiang Zemin tried his best to escape judgement. Currently, as people are holding more "public trials of Jiang" around the world, the trial of Jiang Zemin in the court of morality has long been developed in people's heart.
This event will make more people see the evil of Jiang sacrificing the nation for his personal benefit and the challenge to the value of human rights. It will touch more levels in society and attract more people with righteous minds to support Falun Gong. I believe that Falun Gong will never give up their effort to seek the truth. The lawsuits filed in countries including Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, and Canada will continue. Jiang Zemin's worse nightmare will never be stopped.
I am writing a series of articles entitled "Why is Jiang the most evil". He could even manipulate a lawsuit initiated in a democratic family, who is more evil than him?
