Analyzing Jiang's Classified Document Against Falun Gong From the Perspective of Information, Psychology and Ethics By Hong Minglei
(Clearwisdom.net) Introduction At the end of February 2004, the Chinese Anti-Cult Association led by Jiang
Zemin, came out with a classified document entitled, "Notice regarding
successfully preventing 'Falun Gong' [slanderous word omitted]
organization from sabotaging activities [1] during the 'Two National
Conferences period." [2] This document was officially cited in classified
documents distributed by provincial and municipal governments on March 2, 2004. Jiang's order targets people who practice Falun Gong. This was confirmed by
what was recently published on Minghui Net regarding this new round of
intensified persecution against Falun Gong launched nationwide. The purpose of
this article is to expose the evil, analyze the true nature of the classified
document, and provide information, in a timely fashion, to all the organizations
and media in the world that care about the issue of Falun Gong. 1. See the Chinese Minghui article "Jiaozhou City 610 Office
Starts A New Round of Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners" http://minghui.org/mh/articles/2004/3/18/70263.html 2. We also have copies of the classified documents sent out by many
provinces, cities, and local governments. Abstract: The facts presented in this article provide the international community and
human rights organizations with evidence of recent human rights abuses in China
to help people gain a clearer understanding of the nature of Jiang Zemin's
political group. The article also aims to help people better understand the nature of the
battle between good and evil, and hopes to give people greater faith that good
will overcome evil. The article also reveals the despicable means used by Jiang Zemin's political
group, which are comparable to those employed in the most barbaric wars,
invasions and political campaigns in history. Regarding the National People's Congress held in Beijing, Jiang's political
group, using its typical method of "passing on the spirit of the central
government," came out with a policy directive that specifically targeted
Falun Gong practitioners. It also forced all levels of administrative bodies in
the nation to act accordingly. "Passing on the spirit of the central government," without
exception, takes two paths, known among officials as the "dark way"
and the other being the "bright way." The "bright way"
mainly refers to conveying the government orders in the format of secret or
top-secret documents, which are usually written formally with elegant and
dazzling words, so that local officials can actually see the documents and act
accordingly. Once the "bright way" documents are received, the higher
authorities will immediately make "dark way" phone calls or use verbal
communication to further explain the actual objective and convey the political
tone of the documents, while at the same time, leave no written evidence for the
subordinates to keep. Jiang's group persecutes Falun Gong practitioners by using both the
"bright way" and the "dark way." This point can be proven by
looking at the so-called "classified or top-secret" documents that
were distributed by the provinces, prefectures, counties, and townships in
China. Viewing the contemporary mindsets of Chinese people in terms of
psychology, we know that the low-level officials in the Party have a subservient
mindset, and display a kind of "respect and flattering" toward their
bosses. So for any central government documents that come in the "bright
way," the local governments will for sure add the words of "Coming
from the Central Government" or "Coming indirectly from the Central
Government" to the local governments' "classified or top-secret"
documents. The local governments will use these words to explain the source of
the documents, and in the meantime, compel their subordinates to follow the
directives. Regarding the transmitting of "The Central Government's
spirit" during the time of the "Two National Conferences," we can
see from the available classified or top-secret documents that the order came
directly from Jiang Zemin's group. Following "The Central Government's spirit," the Anti-cult
Association came out with it's classified document at the end of February. It
was sent to all central government branches, provinces, cities, counties,
districts, townships, and towns, without omitting any government bodies. The
content of the document completely targets Falun Gong, and it laid out the
policies, strategies, and measures that were to be used to persecute Falun Gong
during the "Two National Conferences." When the document was sent out,
it was also stamped with "Urgent Notice," along with the word
"classified." The officials could directly read the original document
if their ranks were high enough, while those whose ranks were not high enough
were only told verbally. The major points of this "classified" document: [Quotes from the document:] "At the present time, activities of Falun Gong are increasing. The
founder of Falun Gong has made public appearances, and they want to move the
emphasis of the activities to Mainland China. Falun Gong members inside and
outside China have been using the Internet to cooperate with each other and
engage in propaganda activities. [3] They have adjusted the propaganda
strategies inside China, and some key members [4] of Falun Gong have openly
held activities. According to the number of Falun Gong cases, which have been
registered or solved, Falun Gong activities are rapidly increasing, especially
when the "Two National Conferences" are about to start. Our task is
very important and arduous... " The proposed requirements are as follows: [quoting again from the document:] 1. Learn the situation even better and improve understanding. Correctly
recognize that the present struggle [against Falun Gong] is complicated
and important. Take the task of guarding against "Falun Gong" as the
core task during the "Two National Conferences" period. Maintain a
high-level alert and take all efforts to make sure that no mishap
happens." 2. Focus on key tasks and strengthen prevention efforts. During the
"Two National Conferences" period, the key tasks of prevention
include strictly preventing key members of Falun Gong from going to Beijing,
preventing their local assemblies and extreme incidents, and preventing them
from using technical means to spread their propaganda, etc. All related departments should do well in prevention and investigation and
take necessary measures to bring key Falun Gong members under strict control.
Assist the related departments to actively track down those who are at large.
Ascertain the responsibilities of watching, controlling, and educating those
who have left their homes specifically so as to ensure that the goal of 'no
one going to Beijing' is achieved. 3. Ascertain responsibilities, and strengthen on-duty system. Related units
must co-operate with the comprehensive administration offices and local police
stations in their area, strengthen patrols and watches, and guard the paths of
TV optic fiber cables in business and residential areas. During the "Two
National Conferences" period, related units must make strict on-duty
arrangement to ensure trouble free communication 24 hours a day, and to ensure
"zero reports" every day. If any event occurs that involves Falun
Gong, it must be reported immediately. In China, people who went through the Cultural Revolution and people of a
certain age all know that the so-called "classified" document is
mostly for controlling and punishing people; if a "classified"
document is issued, it means a certain group of people are in trouble. If it
were something good for all people, it would have already been published through
newspapers and broadcasting stations. The value of the document from the aspect of information From the document we can see that there is essentially no improvement in the
human rights situation in China, even though the Chinese government has recently
released several dissidents who had been detained for years. It has become a
habitual practice of the Party (CCP) to release several dissidents as a show
whenever there is an international agenda presented about human rights in China.
However, this does not mean that the Chinese government leaders are relaxing
their political control, especially over Falun Gong practitioners. We hope that
the governments of different countries recognize the CCP's nature, and continue
to raise agendas and resolutions in the United Nation's Human Rights Committee
about human rights issues in China. The value of the information provided in the document is that it not only
allows us to recognize that Jiang's political group is not sincere about human
rights issues; more importantly, it strengthens the belief of kind hearted
people that righteousness will defeat the evil. Comments on the classified document from a psychological aspect From the "classified" document, we can see the sad state of Jiang's
political group. "Falun Gong has increased their activities; our tasks are
very important and very arduous ..." Many Chinese people experienced the mental torture and torment of the souls
through out various political movements. Every political movement was a tragedy
that ended with the people being suppressed yielding to the persecution. Even
Liu Shaoqi, Chairman of the country at that time, was overthrown in three days
when they wanted to overthrow him. However, the situation is very different this
time with regards to the suppression of Falun Gong practitioners who believe in
the principle of "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Tolerance." Jiang had
demanded at the beginning to eliminate Falun Gong in three months, but almost
five years have passed and Falun Gong practitioners have not yielded to the
suppression and they are still steadfast in their belief. The "classified" document stressed the policy of ascertaining
responsibility, "strengthen the patrolling and monitoring and guard the
paths of the TV optic fiber cables in business and residential areas. During the
'Two National Conferences,' related units must make strict on-duty arrangement
to ensure trouble free communication 24 hours a day, and to ensure 'zero
reports' every day." From this, we can see the magnificence of Falun Gong
practitioners in China. The tapped cable TV programs have brought about a huge
psychological impact to the people; they have awakened people to the truth. The analysis of the classified document an ethical aspect Why did Jiang Zemin want to step up the patrol and inspection the TV optic
fiber cables in residential and business areas? It is because he did not want
the people to learn the truth about their persecution against Falun Gong. Reading about "patrolling and monitoring the paths of the TV optic fiber
cables," people are reminded about the Japanese invaders' "patrolling
and monitoring the paths of the railroads" during their occupation in
China. When the war against the Japanese invasion reached its critical period,
the Japanese army could only arrange its troops in the large and middle cites in
their occupied area and along the railroad paths. To defeat the Japanese army,
the railroad had to be turned over to cut its supply line. In the past, Jiang
Zemin had a Japanese style education in the occupied area during the war against
Japan's invasion of China; now he uses all the same fascist techniques to deal
with the Chinese people. Furthermore, during the "Two National
Conferences" period, Jiang Zemin again brazenly pushed the policy of
"patrolling and monitoring the paths of the TV optic fiber cables" to
deceive the people in China. Jiang Zemin, what kind of "paths" are you
patrolling and monitoring; if it is the "paths" owned by the people
and if you are on the side of justice, do you need to patrol and monitor
people?! This document will lead kind hearted and reasonable Chinese people to
carefully and ethically logically think about things. The "classified" document makes people realize the essential
development of the battle between the righteous people and evil minded people.
Another point worth mentioning is that concerning the "Two National
Conferences," Falun Gong was the only group that was targeted in the
document. This also shows that Jiang's political group does not take any notice
of other groups. This is because Falun Gong represents righteousness and justice
and is the only group that non-violently persists to uphold the freedom of
belief and expose the evil persecution. Any other group that upholds justice, in
their future activities, might as well adjust their focus and put more energy
and time in supporting Falun Gong. [1] "Sabotaging activities" -- During large national events like
the National Congress, Falun Gong practitioners usually peacefully and
non-violently exercise their constitutional right toappeal in order to clarify
the truth about what Falun Gong really is, and to ask the Jiang political group
to stop its violent persecution of Falun Gong. However, Jiang's followers have
distorted the nature of practitioners' peaceful appeals by using propaganda
rhetoric to label the appeals, "anti-China activities" or
"sabotage," and use this to frame and stir patriotic sentiment against
Falun Gong amongst the Chinese people. [2] "Two National Conferences" - The National People's Congress
Conference and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference [3] "Propaganda activities" -- Jiang's political group uses
political labels to refer to peaceful events held overseas and in mainland
China, which aim to raise people's awareness and to end the persecution of Falun
Gong as "propaganda activities". [4] "Key members" -- There are no "key members" in Falun
Gong, neither is Falun Gong an organization. The so-called "key
members" are only volunteers who assist in coordinating activities. By
calling them "key members," Jiang's political group attempts to paint
Falun Gong as a political organization and therefore seeks to use this label to
justify the persecution. March 25, 2004 Posting date: 5/27/2004 |
