In the states, you never hear these rationales for the crackdowns against Falun Gong. They're not even brough up to be discredited, which makes me wonder if they're true or not?
This is because those in the US who know about Falun Gong- national journalists, government officials, knowledgeable citizens- know that these "news" stories proffered by PRC about Falun Gong practitioners is nonsense.
They know that Falun Gong is a peaceful meditation practice that advocates selflessness and wholesome living by adhering to truth,compassion and tolerance. Falun Gong practitioners are encouraged to not hurt any living being- humans, animals, plants, small bugs, etc.
Yet because the people practicing Falun Gong in China exceeds the number of CCP members, Jiang Zemin demanded that the Chinese government must eliminate anyone who practices Falun Gong.
He figured this would take 3 months and yet over 5 years later Falun Gong is alive and well and is still growing despite thousands being killed for it while in police custody, hundreds of thousands arrested, tens of thousands sent to "re-education through labor" for it, and a massive spare-no-expense media propaganda blitz.
It's like someone said previously, if you have the truth on your side, you're more powerful than those holding nothing but lies.
