On the Collusion of Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party to Persecute Falun Gong

This is the fifth of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.

Foreword

Ms. Zhang Fuzhen, about 38 years old, was an employee of Xianhe Park, Pingdu City, Shandong Province, China. She went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in November 2000 and was later abducted by the authorities. According to people with knowledge of the case, the police tortured and humiliated Zhang Fuzhen, stripping her naked and shaving her whole head. They tied her to a bed with her four limbs stretched out, and she therefore was forced to relieve herself on the bed. Later, the police gave her an injection of an unknown poisonous drug. After the injection, Zhang was in so much pain that she nearly went insane. She struggled in great pain on the bed until she died. The whole process was witnessed by the local officials of the 610 Office (from a July 23, 2004 report on the Clearwisdom website) [1].

Ms. Yang Lirong, 34, was from Beimen Street, Dingzhou City, Baoding Prefecture, Hebei Province. Her family was often harassed and intimidated by the police because she practiced Falun Gong. On February 8, 2002, after a nighttime police raid, Ms. Yang's husband, a driver in the Bureau of Standards & Meteorology, was traumatized and afraid of losing his job. He could not withstand the tremendous pressure the authorities exerted on him. Early the next morning, taking advantage of the time when their elderly parents had stepped out of the house, he strangled his wife. Yang Lirong died tragically, leaving behind a 10-year-old son. Soon afterwards, her husband reported the incident to the authorities, and the police hurried to the scene to conduct an autopsy on Ms. Yang's body, which was still warm. They removed many organs from her body while the organs were still radiating heat and blood gushed out. A Dingzhou Public Security Bureau staff said, "This is no autopsy; it is vivisection!" (from a September 25, 2004 report on the Clearwisdom website) [2]

Communism is the greatest evil this planet has ever witnessed.

Communism is the greatest evil this planet has ever witnessed.

 

Well, I agree that communism is (let's say was; basically it's dead even in China, just North Korea is now really communist) bad, however I think this is a bit simplistic. There have been other ideologies that were at least as bad as communism, such as nazism, islamism, and other religious/non-religious totalitarian ideologies. Some of these are still very much alive!

 

The only difference is that communism was widespread in the whole world, and with 20th century technology it made a lot of damage. It also was successful because, contrary to fascism for example, it seemed "humane" in its rhetoric, and attracted a lot of people who were rightfully fighting injustice. So BTW there are some people I admire who were communists.

Communism is the greatest evil this planet has ever witnessed.

 

 

I don't think anyone can really argue with that

 

Unlike all the emperors who granted amnesty to the entire country after they were crowned, the CCP started killing the minute it gained power. Mao Zedong said in a document, “There are still many places where people are intimidated and dare not kill the reactionaries openly in a large scale [8].” In February 1951, the central CCP said that except for Zhejiang province and southern Anhui province, “other areas which are not killing enough, especially in the large and mid-sized cities, should continue to arrest and kill a large number and should not stop too soon.” Mao even recommended that “in rural areas, to kill the reactionaries, there should be over 1/1000 of the total population killed…in the cities, it should be less than 1/1000. [9]” The population of China at that time was approximately 600 million; this “royal order” from Mao would have caused at least 600,000 deaths. Nobody knows where this ratio of 1/1000 came from. Perhaps on a whim, Mao decided these 600,000 lives should be enough to lay the foundation for creating fear among the people, and thus ordered it to happen.

 

 

the number is from these papers and works:

[1] Mao Zedong’s letter to his wife Jiang Qing (1966).

[2] Superstructure in the context of Marxist social theory refers to the way of interaction between human subjectivity and the material substance of society.

[10] The Heavenly Kingdom of Taiping (1851 - 1864), also known as the Taiping Rebellion, was one of the bloodiest conflicts in Chinese history. It was a clash between the forces of Imperial China and those inspired by a self-proclaimed mystic of the Hakka cultural group named Hong Xiuquan, who was also a Christian convert. At least 30 million people are believed to have died.

At that time, a speech was made by the Minister of Public Security, Xie Fuzhi, in a meeting with the Public Security Bureau of Beijing regarding no intervention with the Red Guards’ actions against the “black five classes.” Such a speech was soon relayed to a Standing Committee meeting of the Daxin Public Security Bureau. After the meeting, the Daxin Public Security Bureau immediately took action and formed a plan to incite the masses in Daxin County to kill the “dark five classes.”

[20] The Strait Jacket is a jacket-shaped torture implement. The victim's arms are twisted and tied with a rope on the back and then pulled to the front from over the head; this torture can instantly cripple one’s arms. After that, the victim is forcefully put into the Strait Jacket and hung up by the arms. The most direct consequence of this cruel torture is the fracture of the bones in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and back, causing the victim to die in unbearable pain. Several Falun Gong practitioners have died from this torture. Visit the following links for more information:

[21] In 1930, Mao ordered the Party to kill thousands of Party members, Red Army soldiers, and innocent civilians in Jiangxi province in an attempt to consolidate his power in the CCP-controlled areas. Visit the following link for more information:

[22] Gao Gang and Rao Shushi were both members of the CCP Central Committee. After an unsuccessful bid in a power struggle, in 1954, they were accused of plotting to split the Party and were subsequently expelled from the Party.

[23] Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) was second in prominence to Mao in the history of the CCP. He was a leading figure in the CCP and Premier of the People’s Republic of China from 1949 until his death.

[25] Zhang Zhixin was an intellectual who was tortured to death by the CCP during the Great Cultural Revolution for criticizing Mao’s failure in the Great Leap Forward and being outspoken in telling the truth. Prison guards stripped off her clothes many times, handcuffed her hands to her back and threw her into male prison cells to let male prisoners gang rape her until she became insane. The prison feared she would shout slogans to protest when she was being executed, so they sliced open her throat before her execution.

[27] One of the three tools (means of production, modes of production and relations of production) that Marx used to analyze social class. Relations of production refers to the relationship between the people who own productive tools and those who do not, e.g., the relationship between landlord and tiller or the relationship between capitalist and worker.

[31] From Mencius, Book 7. Penguin Classics series, translated by D.C. Lau.

[32] Three-Family Village was the pen name of three writers in the 1960s, Deng Kuo, Wu Han and Liao Mosha. Wu was the author of a play, “Hai Rui Resigning from His Post,” which Mao considered a political satire about his relationship with General Peng Dehuai.

[33] A Chinese folk legend, the White-Haired Girl is the story of a female immortal living in a cave who had supernatural abilities to reward virtue and punish vice, support the righteous and restrain the evil. However, in the Chinese “modern” drama, opera, and ballet, she was described as a girl who was forced to flee to a cave after her father was beaten to death for refusing to marry her to an old landlord. She became white-haired for lack of nutrition. Under the pens of the CCP writers, this was transformed into one of the most well-known “modern” dramas in China to incite class hatred of landlords.

[34] Lin Biao (1907-1971), one of the senior CCP leaders, served under Mao Zedong as a member of the Politburo, as Vice Chairman (1958) and Defense Minister (1959). Lin is regarded as the architect of China’s Great Cultural Revolution. Lin was designated as Mao’s successor in 1966 but fell out of favor in 1970. Sensing his downfall, Lin reportedly became involved in a failed coup and attempted to flee to the USSR once the alleged plot was exposed. His plane crashed in Mongolia on his flight from prosecution, resulting in his death.

[35] Yu Luoke was a human rights thinker and fighter who was killed by the CCP during the Cultural Revolution. His monumental essay “On Family Background” written on January 18, 1967 was one that enjoyed the widest circulation and the most enduring influence of all the essays reflecting the non-CCP thoughts during the years of the Cultural Revolution. Lin Zhao, a Beijing University student majoring in journalism, was classified as a rightist in 1957 for her independent thinking and outspoken criticism of the communist movement. She was charged with conspiracy to overthrow the people’s democratic dictatorship and arrested in 1960. In 1962, she was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment. She was killed by the CCP on April 29, 1968 as a counter-revolutionary.

Now today, we have unprecedented technology and reach for the evil to use.

You only hear the Falun Gong side of the story, the natives here have a different view on the matter.

[JohnC]

You only hear the Falun Gong side of the story, the natives here have a different view on the matter.

What is your take on it?

[宁]

a typical doomsday cult, mixed with elements of native religion and practice, with their founder as the only saviour, people starving themselves to death to become immortals (bigu) and different hysterical phenomena, sounds like OP's cup of tea

 

whatever the destabilizing risks of any intense social phenomena might be, in China is more than tenfold, because of the population density and viral character of religion - the government has to work hard to keep it balanced

 

the Chinese party did what it had to do; if you measure other countries' political views by whatever you understand as 'American democracy', be well advised; it actively destroyed many countries, mine is one of them

 

I used to criticise China for many faults that now I discover are in fact strong points, and, sadly, vice versa...

[Immortal4life]

Anyone who considers killing and torture as communists "doing what they have to do", is not credible.

 

I saw a documentary about the Earthquakes in China a while ago, and about how the government didn't make the buildings, especially schools, safe. One of the parents was going to file some sort of complaint, but only against the school, she clearly made her point that " of course the CCP is not at fault, the Party is great and perfect". She was either very fearful of speaking the truth, or completely brainwashed. Many people in China are totally brainwashed by the communists. They just repeat, "the party is great, the party is great." As far as delusion and brainwashing goes, China is only one step behind North Korea.

 

Doomsday cult? Come on no one seriously believes that in the civilized western world anymore, where we have somewhat of a free press and facts actually come to light once in a while. It's 2013 get with the program. The CCP calls it a doomsday cult, so that they can claim that the people who were tortured to death actually just committed suicide, yet the torture and killing is all documented in western free countries. Strange that the alleged "suicides" only happen in China and no other countries, and then pics come out proving they were tortured to death, not suicide.

[Jetsun]

It certainly has some of the features of a doomsday cult, all you have to do is look at its artwork to see that, and its literature talks about the day of judgement all the time about how Li Hongzi holds all the keys to heaven. I suppose you could argue its not a cult as such but it has doomsday elements to it.

[Flolfolil]

people are killing themselves, quick, kill them before they kill themselves! Your argument and defense of their actions is PATHETIC. Much like the government in question.

[Flolfolil]

wtf the time of my last post has been screwed with. doctor.....DOCTOR!

[Seth Ananda]

I say it over and over again, from my personal experience Falun is a Cult. I grew up in a cult, and the falun movement has the same narrow minded blinker wearing mentality as the worst of the cults out there.

 

People like the thread opener will post stupid responses saying falun doesn't meet the cult definition, because they don't charge, when it actually meets dozens of cult specifications.

 

Joining their 'Li is awesome' hive mind will turn you into a moron. Some cross between a Jehovas Witness, pseudo Buddhist, Taoist and Meister Eckhart. Yet not in a good way.

 

There is no room to question the master, who is 'omniscient' and can never be wrong. Oh well, you may as well throw thinking out the window... Not matter how much something makes sense, it will always be wrong if Li says otherwise.

 

They will try to separate you from friends and family who may be critical of falun, and it buys into that hideous cosmic saviour delusion.

 

In other words if you want to abdicate all personal and moral responsibility, and never show a moment of free thought again, well Falun will be perfect for you

 

He is also a nut bar who claims falun will teach people to fight the aliens that are going to invade. {doomsday ellements}

 

 

 

Also, before {Americans} point the finger at China for torture, well 'ahem' 'cough' 'guantanamo bay!'...

[Flolfolil]

uhhh, all torture sucks
