Wang Sounds the Gong

Most of the coverage of Wang Wenyi's protest at the White House during the welcome ceremony for Hu Jintao has ignored the reason for what she did.

Ethan Gutmann's "Why Wang Wenyi Was Shouting" (May 8) helps provide an important corrective to this general trend.

There is a view of China abroad today according to which its massive and systematic human rights abuses are somehow a holdover from a rapidly receding past. The organ-harvesting from living human beings puts the lie to this comfortable delusion and challenges everyone to take a close look at the reality of the rule of the Chinese Communist party today.

Gutmann describes the Epoch Times as a "Falun Gong-associated publication."

This needs to be clarified: The Epoch Times was founded by a group of Falun Gong practitioners who realized the Western media were doing a poor job of reporting on China in general and on the persecution of Falun Gong in particular. But although the individuals who founded the paper were connected to Falun Gong, many who write for the paper, which is not owned by Falun Gong, are not members.
