The New York Times is targeting a persecution group just like Beijing

In doing so, the authors downplay the severity of the persecution of this spiritual discipline in communist China, which began in 1999, describing the forced organ harvesting of living Falun prisoners. Gong in the Chinese prison system as a mere “request”.

The New York Times they seem to ignore the mountain of evidence that has emerged since news of this medical abuse first broke in 2006.

At the time, witnesses and investigators presented the first pieces of evidence. Fast forward to 2016: the United States House of Representatives passed Resolution 343, which condemns the practice of forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong prisoners of conscience and calls for it to be stopped.

In the same year, the Parliament of the European Union adopted Written Declaration 48 to express a similar position. In 2019, the Chinese Tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice KC, a chief prosecutor working for the United Nations, concluded that Falun Gong appeared to be the “primary victim” of forced organ harvesting in China.

When in 2016, one of the journalists from New York TimesDidi Kirsten Tatlow, for investigating and covering the killing of Falun Gong practitioners for their organs in China, was blocked by the publication.

In addition to its own editors, the NOW They appear to be opposing this persecution group that wants to deny atrocities committed against them, saying that “attacking the Chinese government has been a main topic.”

What is wrong with victims of a brutal campaign of persecution speaking out?

In fact, Falun Gong practitioners understood the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) long before the West did. Moreover, the list of those who oppose the CCP and its activities is growing – just ask the Taiwanese, the Philippines, the Tibetans, the Uyghurs, the Christians in China, and the governments who understands that the Belt and Road initiative (the “New Silk Road initiative”, editor’s note) of Beijing it turned out to be a debt trap for their countries.

Shen Yun’s growth and success seems to be the main reason for the anger New York Times.

In fact, can anyone name a performing arts group that performs to audiences of a million people each year? The growth of a performing arts company should be celebrated, especially if it lifts the spirit of the audience.

And what is wrong with telling people about truth, compassion and tolerance, which are the basic principles of Falun Gong? I would say that it is a good thing that in a world of radical changes and chaotic developments, people can find peace of mind and purpose in spiritual principles.

For journalists who disdain religious concepts and the idea of ​​holding on to one’s beliefs, some respect for believers could be a good opportunity to show more tolerance.

If China’s totalitarian regime fails to stop a spiritual organization like Falun Gong, the free world should give Falun Gong a standing ovation.

When the New York Times will he invite Falun Gong practitioners to tell the story of this persecution?
