Beijing Power Struggle Heralds End of Chinese Communist Party--ending the persecution of Falun Gong

The CCP has killed over 80 million Chinese and persecuted hundreds of millions. It is still brutally persecuting kind-hearted Falun Dafa practitioners. With the continuous rise in the frequency of protests and with more than 100 million people having renounced all affiliations with the CCP, everyone can see the disintegration of the CCP is inevitable—and coming soon.

People inside and outside of China need to prepare.

Justice has long arms. The major perpetrators—Jiang Zemin, Zhou Yongkang, Luo Gan, and others—will be brought to justice, and their crimes will be exposed. Bringing the major culprits to justice and punishing all the criminals involved is a necessary step after the persecution ends. The world’s people need to witness the heavenly principle that good will be rewarded with good and evil will receive punishment.

For those communist officials who had been or still are actively involved in the persecution, but still have a bit of conscience left, we suggest they repent sincerely and stop doing evil immediately: Retain all the evidence of the persecution, and at the same time use appropriate channels to publish the evidence of other officials who have committed crimes against Falun Dafa practitioners.

US Government Asked: Release Information About Atrocities in China

During a failed attempt to defect, a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official may have provided documentary evidence to U.S. consular officials of forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, a practice the Chinese regime has denied.

According to Chinese blogs, Wang Lijun yelled out as he was being escorted out of the U.S. Consulate that he had told U.S. officials everything, that he had sent information overseas, and that he had also handed over documents.

According to Dr. Huang, Wang had broken the “code of silence,” and revealed details about both his and Bo Xilai’s involvement in illegal organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Harper should stand against Chinese slave labour

Kilgour and Matas: Most of the population of Chinese slave labour camps are practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual movement that the Communist Party banned in 1999 out of fear that the ideological supremacy of the Party was threatened by its popularity. The U.S. State Department has concluded that “Falun Gong adherents constituted at least half of the 250,000 officially recorded inmates in [China’s] re-education‑through‑labour camps.” (Unofficial estimates suggest that there are actually 1,200 forced labour camps, with 2 million inmates.)

We concluded, in two reports in 2006 and 2007 and a book published in 2009 under the title Bloody Harvest, that Falun Gong practitioners have been killed in the tens of thousands, and their organs sold for transplants. Chinese arbitrary detention facilities are not just forced labour camps, in other words: They also are vast forced organ-donor banks.

Goods imported into Canada should withstand scrutiny on both economic and ethical terms. A trade mission to a communist state exporting the products of slave labour around the world at rock bottom prices should do more than seek favourable terms of trade for Canada. Its leaders, including the Prime Minister himself, should do what they can to end the abhorrent practice of slave labour in China.

Shen Yun Stages Its Own Chinese Cultural Revolution on a Grand Scale

China is living through an intellectual and creative dark age. While the nation's economy booms and consumer culture thrives, the totalitarian government has "overhauled" the nation's arts communities to bring them in line with its political dogma. Historical relics and traditions have been destroyed or suppressed because they are seen as obstacles to progress. Yet 5-millennia-old tradition in a country of more than 1 billion people dies hard, and there is an active resistance. This week its name is Shen Yun. The New York-based arts group, whose name translates to "the beauty of divine beings dancing," was formed in 2006 to preserve and present traditional Chinese dance and music. It now has more than 200 performers, including dancers, vocalists, and an orchestra. It performs at the War Memorial Opera House through Sunday. ​Among the instruments used is the two-stringed erhu, sometimes called the Chinese violin.

Shen Yun employs stunning costumes, sets, and dance moves, and uses bilingual hosts and subtitles to explain the content of the pieces. Its online FAQ answers questions such as "What should I wear?" and "Why would I enjoy a Chinese show?"

Some people have criticized the group for covertly promoting the dissident Buddhist spiritual practice known as Falun Gong. But based on what we know about this sect, the worst that might happen is you begin to pursue better health and spiritual enlightenment after seeing an amazing show. Sounds like a good start to 2012 to us.

Shen Yun performs through Jan. 8 at the War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness (at Grove), S.F. Admission is $60-$220.

Shen Yun will play at the Vancouver Queen Elizabeth Theatre Feb.3-5.
