China Bans Falun Gong

People's Daily Says People Should Learn A Lesson From Falun Gong

     China's leading newspaper " People's Daily" carries an article in Monday's edition that says the Chinese should learn a lesson from the struggle against Falun Gong and that the effort to expose Li Hongzhi, its founder, has achieved a great deal.

     People also need to ponder why so many people were deceived by the Falun Gong cult, it says, even though it was against science, human beings, society, and government.

     The article says that cadres and Communist Party members should improve their political sense and political study and that the fight against Falun Gong has an important bearing on the fundamental faith of communists, on the ideological basis for uniting the Chinese people, and on the destiny and future of the Communist Party and the government.

     Party members need to increase their Marxist study, with emphasis on materialism and atheism, which are powerful weapons in defeating the enemy, it says, as well as develop a scientific spirit and fight against superstition and to be vigilant.

     The Communist Party of China is the ruling party with over 61 million members and it has many advantages that include theory, organization, and policy, it says.

     It is also very important to rule the country by law and to improve social management, which will improve people's legal sense, it says. Many Falun Gong practitioners have the desire to improve their health but didn't clearly understand the nature of Li Hongzhi and his anti-government goals so more attention should be paid to people's need for health and entertainment.

     The article concludes by saying that no one can stop the great undertaking because people have matured after the struggle with Falun Gong and have united around the CPC with Jiang Zemin at its core and are insisting on the Party's basic line. (Xinhua)
