Persecution of Falun Gong Becomes Unlawful Why should I become a victim to what I believe in? The

Fear is a powerful emotion even compared to love and other simple emotion like anger. Fear is not only strong but controlling. “You are afraid,” of what is happening and in that fear people find comfort after living like that for years or it is all they know(Orwell page,245). In 1984, The Party uses this fear of death and the thought police to control the people. The Chinese government does something similar to 1984, they used the fear tactic to control their people. For example, Chine deleted Tiananmen Square, as

The Memoir Spider Eaters by Rae Yang is her personal account of her life during the Maoist revolution. In addition, she reminisces about her trials and tribulations during her active participation in the culture revolution and the great North Wilderness. Her family also had various misfortunes due to these changing ideological beliefs spread by the revolution. This memoir illustrates in great detail what Yang experienced under communist rule. Spider Eaters opened up a door to a young girl and her families struggle to be good Samaritans under communist rule and their final disillusionment of the revolution they whole heartedly believed in. Yang and her family struggled with the vast ideological changes during the Maoist Revolution, in turn,

Since the beginning of this nightmare, China’s involvement has been a significant human rights violation. First of all, China has driven the Dalai Lama out of his own country and has forced him to leave his people. To Tibetans and Buddhists, the Dalai Lama is “both a spiritual and political leader … like a cross between a Pope and a President” (Oliver, 2017). Traditionally, before the Dalai Lama dies, he must find his reincarnation, the Panchen Lama, who finds his reincarnation, the Dalai Lama, before he dies and so on. Furthermore, the Dalai Lama picked a six-year old boy to become the next Panchen Lama and then “China kidnapped [the] six-year old and no one has heard from him since” (Oliver, 2017). Not only is this horrifying truth a human rights violation, but it has also completely destroyed a long-lasting and sacred tradition. According to the current Dalai Lama, “it will be impossible for Tibetans and those who follow the Tibetan Buddhist tradition to acknowledge or accept [the next Panchen Lama] (“Reincarnation”, 2011). Currently, China has a great firewall, called the Golden Shield Project, that censors information on various items that negatively talks about China. Many people in China are protesting against these heinous acts on Tibet, even though the Golden Shield Project is preventing many from learning what is happening in Tibet (“The Great Firewall of China: Background”). China’s destruction of this peaceful religion and culture is clearly against the policies of the United Nations Humans Rights

Even with her previous experiences at Beijing University and at Big Joy Farm, Wong still held some belief that the Chinese system wasn’t as bad as it was sometimes made out to be. This event proved to her that it was. “The enormity of the massacre hit home…Although it had been years since I was a Maoist, I still had harbored some small hope for China. Now even that was gone” (259). As a reporter Wong was able to view the progression of the protests in leading up to the massacre, and in viewing it understood that the Chinese people were much more independent than they had previously demonstrated over the past 50 years. She had continuously seen the Chinese people following what they were told between learning in school or with physical labor, yet this protest was one of the first large scale displays of the unacceptance of the regime by the people, and the government did not know what to do with it. But because of this, Wong was able to recognize that the people were not reliant on this way of life that they had previously been bound to, but truly could lead for themselves and take control. The massacre awakened Wong both to the reality that the government was not acting to benefit the people, and that the people were more than capable of acting for

This memoir of Ma Bo’s sent shock waves throughout China when it was published and was even first banned by the Communist Government. This passionate story paints a clear picture for what the Great Chinese Cultural Revolution was really like. Many Chinese living today can attest to similar if not identical ordeals as expressed in Ma Bo’s story. The toils of being a young Red Guard in inner China were experienced by many if not millions. The horrors and atrocities were wide spread throughout the country, not just in Inner Mongolia. The experiences illustrated in Blood Red Sunset uniquely belong to Ma Bo’s entire generation of mislead Chinese. As expressed in the books dedication the Cultural Revolution

The apex of Wong’s book is how she displays the emotional overtones in reciting her account of the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989. She tells of being holed up in a hotel across the street from the square and actually being able to see the violence between the protesting students and citizens, and the soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army. When she describes bodies falling from gunshot wounds, people being squashed by tanks, and the bullets ricocheting off their hotel walls, it produces multiple senses of horror, sorrow, and absolute terror. She further hammers this point across by displaying two images taken from the scene (245). The first is of a PLA platoon leader who was beaten, set afire, disemboweled, and to add further insult, positioned so that he would serve as an example of what the proletariats were capable of. The second, was of PLA soldiers examining the destruction of Tiananmen Square after they seized the square. Smoke and debris from the protestors are widely prevalent, and the image was even used in a propaganda brochure for the government.

China is home to one of the world’s most repressive and restrictive governments. There is near absolute control over its citizens, by the government, and it seems as if Big Brother is always keeping an eye on its comrades. This repressive and suppressive government is also home to one of the world’s most powerful artists. Ai Weiwei has made a name for himself as a rebel who has not only created art in direct defiance to his government, but who has also criticized those pieces of art which he has made in the name of said government. Ai Weiwei is one of China’s most effective activists because of his provocative art, persistence, and subversive attitude.

When the doctor revealed to his employer that he did not wish to register with the Communist party and surrender his religion. He was forced to leave his position and the hospital relieved him “of all [his] duties, and [he] had to leave the medical school” (Yiwu, 86). That same doctor faced additional persecution when he left China to give a talk about his work to a church in the United States. He was prevented from returning to China. When considering the authors use of sourcing and evidence, I find that he has a comprehensive and well throughout collection which truly supports his effort to bring religious freedom to China.

The Chinese government is said to be forceful and overly aggressive. This is seen in the actions of the Red Guard. They publicly denounce Mu Ying to embarrass her. They put a sign on her while she was paraded to the town square to be denounced. Mu admits committing adultery, but this is not enough for the Red Guard.

I am afraid of being deported back to China because I had suffered persecutions for resisting against the Chinese government’s act of forcible demolishment of its citizens' homes without their consensus. If I am deported back to China, I will be persecuted again because I have been blacklisted by the

Within the communist regime, fear is the core of its system. Fear for protest, fear of losing the Mandate of Heaven, and fear of other religions such as Falun Gong. This can be one of the greatest fears of the CCP because the government thinks that these practitioners are planning a rebellion. The government, since 1999, has been cracking down on those who practice Falun Gong. The result from the Yellow Turbans to the White Lotus to the Boxers seems to serve notable examples of China’s fear. The record of history has shown that most Chinese individuals are in favor of political stability. The reason for protest most of the time comes from the state and Government repression. The suppression of the Falun Gong campaign has revealed weak spots

It is cyber space that plays a significant role in maintaining and expanding it. Discussions of Falun Gong are common on China-themed chat rooms and bulletin boards. Email news lists deliver daily updates to interested subscribers around the world.11 Falun Gong’s shortwave radio station, launched in the summer of 2000, also broadcasts on the Internet in streaming audio. The most important is Falun Gong’s presence on the World Wide Web. Practitioners maintain hundreds of sites around the world; most contain content in both Chinese and English, while others feature such languages as German, French, Russian, and Portuguese. This case study can help us see how internet is a vital persuasive tool in spreading the gospel in inaccessible

In China, the communist party surveys and keep a watchful on residents to ensure the people’s protection and the legitimacy of an unilateral totalitarian government. Since post World War II era, the communist party controlled the area and the citizens politically. Chinese citizens are well aware that their government holds a strong presence in their societal life through institutional factors and socialist values. Some writers choose to use communist ideology as a source of inspiration for writing stories and explaining societal values in specific geographical regions and Xiaolong Qiu is no exception. In The Red Death of a Heroine, Qiu presents Chinese society and government as intertwined through communist political issues and ideology influencing values people in society find important such as the significance of family ties, respecting chain of power, conformity, avoiding displays of public protest, and political discussions. Expressing outrage against China’s governmental laws and developing political ideals outside the state’s approves is dangerous because protesters and members of their families may face severe punishments for disobeying. Often, the punishments are carried out on protestors without the general public being unaware of actions taken by the state. China’s government continue the practice in modern society under Xi Jinping’s administration with less success. Although China’s government is still of suppressing organized protest groups, some rallies became

On October 8, The Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo was named the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize by the decision of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. An overwhelming majority of governments and organizations around the world appreciate the dedication of Liu for his long time pursuing of human-rights improvement in China. Be that as it may, China has blockaded the news which sounds ridiculous to the standpoint of almost all the Chinese people. Recently, the comments of this controversial phenomenon, not exaggerative to say, as one falls another rises. In my point of view it’s not a problem of who is right or wrong, which importantly counts is the respect for China. Closely following behind are the statements and analyses.

Likewise, Post article “China pressures Indonesia to silent dissent from Falun Gong followers” also has biased overtones, but unlike Pomfret Higgins presents a more critical tone toward the Chinese government, as well as Indonesia’s for seemingly succumbing to Chinese pressure. From the way the very article is framed from the point of view of a Falun Gong practitioner, to portraying the conflict as a matter of Chinese political authoritarianism and coercion, the issue of Erabaru Radio’s struggle with government authorities is meant to depict Erabaru as some sort of ideological underdog that invokes sympathy from the readers. Although Indonesian authorities claim that Erabaru Radio is illegal due to its unlicensed status as well as the use
