Twenty-six years ago, on 20 July 1999, the Chinese Communist Party declared Falun Dafa its enemy. In doing so, it also banned Falun Gongs principles: truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.

According to official estimates, there are between 70 and 100 million Falun Dafa practitioners in China in 1999. The practitioners have a major positive influence on Chinese society, as in addition to the five simple physical exercises, they also firmly believe in and live by the principles of Falun Dafa – truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.

In order to proclaim the persecution of these virtues as something ‘justified,’ the Chinese Communist Party invented and staged slander and lied through its teeth. The Chinese Communist Party uses all means at its disposal to reinforce its rotten lies and try to destroy the good reputation of Falun Dafa. Unfortunately, many media outlets in the West have taken up and continue to take up these lies. Destroying the reputation of Falun Gong was the first goal of Jiang Zemin, the initiator of this persecution of innocent people.

However, these avalanches of slander say much more about the slanderers themselves than about those they slander.

Under the pretext of persecution, the Chinese Communist Party arbitrarily and violently seizes the finances and possessions of practitioners. No matter what method is used, if it causes financial damage to Falun Gong practitioners, it will be done. This was Jiang Zemin's second goal: the financial destruction of Falun Gong practitioners. The third goal was physical destruction: in addition to arrest, torture, rape and murder, the Chinese Communist Party abuses transplant medicine to enrich itself by selling practitioners' organs and at the same time physically destroy them.

The longer this persecution lasts, the more lucrative it becomes for the persecutors... and the more lucrative the persecution of Falun Gong is, the less likely the Chinese Communist Party is to stop this persecution.

The persecution of the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance has had unimaginable consequences – primarily for the Chinese people, but also for all of humanity.

However, there is a simple reason why the Chinese Communist Party is against Falun Gong:

“What we tell the people, is disconnected to the reality. It cannot be true. If it were true, and the people saw the reality of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese Communist Party would be finished. So the Chinese Communist Party has to continuously lie.”
– Sampu He, former CCP party propagandist, NTD TV documentary: "Chinas Walking Dead": Inside the warped World of china's communist officialdom

Falun Gong practitioners are among the few people who dare to speak out against the Chinese Communist Party, expose its lies, and enlighten humanity about the facts—regardless of the potentially deadly consequences for themselves.

The unwavering courage of Falun Gong practitioners within China is truly admirable.

However, the persecution of Falun Gong has far-reaching consequences that are not immediately apparent.

Can you imagine the long-term effects of forcing 1.4 billion Chinese people to oppose Falun Gong and thus also to oppose truthfulness, compassion and forbearance? Where will a society without truthfulness, compassion and forbearance end up?

Looking at mainland China, it is clearly heading into an era of selfishness, lies, corruption, tyranny, total control and surveillance – and ultimately destruction. The behaviour of the Chinese Communist Party reveals that it is not a normal political party with normal political goals.

The Communist Party makes no secret of its intentions:

The Chinese Communist Party's unrestricted warfare

Around the same time that the persecution of Falun Gong began, the Chinese Communist Party's People's Liberation Army published a document entitled ‘Unrestricted Warfare.’ The title of this book is 超限戰; lit. 'warfare beyond bounds'. It contains strategies on how the Chinese Communist Party intends to destroy the West and which continents/countries it would probably like to populate with Chinese people afterwards.

This unrestricted warfare works something like this:

Imagine you are playing a game of chess on the assumption that the rules apply equally to everyone. Your opponent, however, changes the rules at will, without consequences. That is the essence of the Chinese Communist Party's unrestricted warfare against the West.

The Chinese Communist Party is using all its power to achieve this. It is employing the military, politics, legislation, disinformation campaigns, cyber attacks, lawfare (legal warfare), economic manipulation, cyber theft, coercion through sabotage, social media platforms and news agencies, as well as academic influence. The book lists further methods of attack: psychological warfare, smuggling warfare, media warfare, drug warfare, network warfare, technological warfare, counterfeit warfare, resource warfare, economic aid warfare, cultural warfare, and international law warfare.

The Chinese Communist Party wants the West to remain asleep and, wherever possible, to unwittingly participate in its own destruction. Most of the Chinese Communist Party's approaches are therefore quiet, insidious and almost imperceptible, while it makes noise about other things.

Due to its subtle and indirect nature, the effects of this unrestricted warfare are often underestimated and its existence denied, downplayed or negated.

There are no limits to the wickedness of the Chinese Communist Party: it tells the truth when it suits it and lies when it suits it better.

For the Chinese Communist Party, it does not matter whether something is true or false. The only decisive criterion for it is whether it can remain in power or expand its power.

On the anniversary of the beginning of the persecution of Falun Gong in China, I would like to encourage everyone today to learn more about this Falun Gong meditation school. Falun Gong is really good. I would also like to urge you, dear reader, to take a closer look behind the curtain of the Chinese Communist Party.

According to the book ‘China Leaks’ by Markus Frenzel (2024), the Chinese Communist Party has long had the ability to put Germany in a stranglehold whenever it pleases.

The Chinese Communist Party poses a far greater threat to the West than is generally assumed. Inform yourself! Being taken by surprise by an enemy while we sleep is not what we want here in the West.

The first step is to stop believing the lies of the Chinese Communist Party and to question its actions.

I am particularly committed to correcting the slander against Falun Gong. How many people have believed this slander or have hesitated to learn Falun Gong because of it? Falun Gong helps everyone, regardless of race, age or social status for free. Due to its excellent effects on the body and mind, the number of Falun Gong practitioners grew from a few dozen in 1992, when the teachings were first introduced to the public, to 70 to 100 million practitioners by early 1999, when the Ministry of Sport conducted a census. This spread, achieved through word of mouth, did not happen by chance.

At www.falundafa.org, you can find all the books and videos that give you an impression of Falun Gong free of charge. Who knows, maybe you will discover a priceless and invaluable treasure, just like I did.

With best wishes and all the best
