Why Falun Gong Stimulated by Fall of Bo Xilai

百里透粉

The fall of Bo Xilai was naturally an internal affair of Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However, it aroused uproar on overseas websites with various rumors emerging one after another. Many of the rumors were found spread by Falun Gong media outlets.

Why Falun Gong was stimulated by the fall of Bo Xilai? What kind of anxiety can we infer from the rumors spread by Falun Gong media?

I think the first is the aspiration of Falun Gong to attract attention. Falun Gong is facing the inevitable tendency of being marginalized, which has already been reflected from the remarks by senior leaders of the movement. Li Hongzhi, Ye Hao, Guo Jun and Li Jiguang all moaned that their work is getting more difficult. Even those with a little democratic conscience may find that Falun Gong’s founder worship is totally different from
the advocacy of democracy and freedom

The freedom of belief should be respected and all people should have the sense of fear. Falun Gong’s inappropriate worship of a man alive makes it doomed to be an evil religion. That is why the democratic activists such as Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan refused to endorse Falun Gong and cut their ties with it. I am afraid that Falun Gong would be unacceptable for any future leaders in Mainland China. The history told us that even Zhu Yuanzhang in Ming Dynasty became an emperor with the help of the religion of Ming, the first thing after he ascended the throne was to eradicate the religion.

Bo Xilai’s case provides Falun Gong with an opportunity to demonstrate its presence. Guo Jun and Li Jiguang encouraged their journalists to write reports on Bo Xilai’s case with double payments. Recently, the updates of the Epoch Times and Watch China websites have been surged. The real purpose of Guo Jun and other senior leaders of Falun Gong movement is to attract eyeball and to draw attention. Despite the rapid growth of the number of reports, the quality of the articles remain poor.

The so-called commentators of Falun Gong movement, such as Zhang Tianliang, with insufficient knowledge and limited talent, wrote articles that often gave Internet users ground for criticism, which put Falun Gong in embarrassment. Most of Falun Gong’s news reports or editorials are full of speculations and surmises. For instance, they wrote “Every good or bad deed has its just reward. This is a heavenly principle in Chinese traditional culture. ” They advocated that those who have committed crimes against Falun Gong must stop their evil behaviors and use their authorities to make up their mistakes. Can such bluff with karma hold back the political force? What a joke!

The article titled “Public Trust is the Top Priority for Survival of Any Website” recently circulated on the Internet actually reflected the disappointment of Internet users with Falun Gong websites. Falun Gong movement, please behave yourself.
