As of 2009, The Chinese Communist Party has allegedly tortured and killed approximately 2,000 (Jacobs, 2009 pg.1) people who practiced Falun Gong. Falun Gong is a peaceful group. They don’t quite consider themselves a religion, but the CCP has deemed them a “cult” (Chang, 2004 pg.96). What is it about this organization that threatens the CCP so much, that they feel the need to imprison them, torture them, and sometimes execute them? To answer that question, you must first look at China’s traditional and political history, and also examine objectively, the history and ideals of Falun Gong.
