Many of us with differing faiths are on the same path. Forgiveness has become the one obstacle confronting myself. We’re all sinners and yet I find this would be the most common trait we all share.

When I served in the Utah Legislature I ran a Resolution condemning Communist China for the oppression against the Falun Gong. It didn't pass. Quite the behind the scenes story.

Shame. I hope one day you could expose it.

🚨 The CCP's Foreign Minister Wang Yi Toured Four Nordic Capitals. Falun Gong Was Waiting at Every Stop. For 26 years, Beijing has denied that its campaign against Falun Gong ever happened. In Nordic Europe last week, its foreign minister walked into every capital and met the people the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tried to erase. Wang Yi's July 2–8 tour of Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway was choreographed as Beijing's Europe reset. It was the first visit by a Chinese foreign minister to Sweden in 22 years, the first to Denmark in 15, and it landed just ahead of the European Union (EU) October deadline on Chinese trade overcapacity. Wang's message was polished: China and Europe are "partners, not rivals." The reception told a different story. In Copenhagen, according to New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD), Chinese embassy staff tried to obstruct Falun Gong practitioners protesting at the venue. Danish police intervened and defended the demonstrators' right to be there. In Stockholm, banners condemning forced live organ harvesting rose across from the government building where Wang met Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard. In Helsinki, protests outside the Finnish parliament and foreign ministry drew coverage from the country's largest news organizations. In Oslo, demonstrators from the Norwegian Uighur Committee, the Norwegian Tibet Committee, and Falun Gong gathered outside the government guesthouse. Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) recorded them shouting that China is a dictatorship, audible through the walls of Wang's meeting room. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre used that meeting to raise Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China's human-rights record with Wang directly, on the record. Three weeks earlier, on June 17, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced the Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act (S.4009), a bipartisan bill sanctioning individuals implicated in the trade. Wang came to shift the narrative. Instead, photographs went global: 26 years of persecuting Falun Gong's Truth, Compassion, Forbearance has failed. ACI — Aric Chen | Insights Aric's note on Falun Gong. Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) is a peaceful spiritual practice rooted in Chinese Buddhist and Taoist tradition. It pairs slow meditation exercises with a moral philosophy anchored in three principles: Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance. Taught publicly by Master Li Hongzhi in Changchun in May 1992, it is free to learn, requires no membership, and holds no political program. It is now practiced in more than 100 countries, and its central text, Zhuan Falun, has been translated into more than 40 languages.

About two decades ago, I got involved with helping persecuted practitioners of #FalunGong escape #China through an underground railroad to Bangkok, a route which passed through the treacherous Golden Triangle. It was bewildering to see the extent to which the Chinese regime was obsessed with this group of peaceful meditators, which was evident in the number of apparent CCP spies I saw trying to influence them. At the same time, I was stunned by the incredible tenacity of these practitioners, who would rather risk their lives than sign a piece of paper denouncing their faith. Wanting to tell their stories is a big part of what brought me to The Epoch Times originally. Today, it's exactly 25 years since the CCP launched the persecution of Falun Gong. The then-dictator Jiang Zemin vowed to "eradicate" Falun Gong within 3 months. But things turned out very differently from what he intended. And it's perhaps one of the greatest untold stories of our time. In the years that followed, despite facing imprisonment, forced labor, gruesome torture, and even forced organ harvesting—which The Epoch Times first exposed in 2006—Falun Gong practitioners in China would mount the largest civil disobedience and information freedom movement in modern Chinese history. It's estimated that millions of Falun Gong adherents in China not only continue to practice Falun Gong, but they run something to the order of 200,000 underground family print shops that make DVDs, brochures, booklets, and pen drives with firewall-busting software to distribute to their fellow Chinese, so they can finally access true and uncensored information.

🚨 Beijing's Long Arm Reaches Into New York City. The Chinese Communist Party doesn't only persecute its citizens at home. It exports that persecution — into the streets of New York, London, and cities across the free world. On May 9, 2026, a peaceful celebration in the heart of Manhattan was violently interrupted. At Union Square — one of the most iconic public spaces in America — Falun Gong practitioners had gathered for World Falun Dafa Day, an annual event commemorating a spiritual discipline rooted in the traditional Chinese values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Performers were on stage. Families and passersby watched. The atmosphere, by every account, was calm and festive. Then a man stormed the stage. He hurled himself at the decorations — lotus flowers and ceremonial props — screaming and destroying what he could before members of the audience intervened. Three NYPD officers arrived, struggled to restrain him, and took him away in handcuffs. An eyewitness named Michael put it plainly: "He wasn't randomly destroying things. He went specifically for the Falun Gong event. I believe this constitutes a hate attack on religious belief." 🎯This Is Not a Coincidence. This Is a Pattern. Wang Zhiyuan, chairman of the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party, was at the scene. He has seen this before — in Flushing, Queens; in London; at truth-telling booths and parade routes across the Western world. Falun Gong practitioners harassed, assaulted, and silenced. The settings change. The script does not. "The CCP has been persecuting Falun Gong practitioners inside China for decades," Wang said. "That persecution is now extending overseas — through infiltration, incitement of hatred, and information warfare." "The CCP exploits the freedom of speech and rule of law in Western societies to smear and suppress Falun Gong. This is not only an attack on Falun Gong — it is an assault on the religious freedom that America holds dear." He is right. And this pattern has a name: transnational repression. 🧘What Is Falun Gong, and Why Does Beijing Fear It? For Western readers unfamiliar with the context: Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) is a meditation-based spiritual practice that emerged in China in the early 1990s. By the late 1990s, it had attracted tens of millions of practitioners. In 1999, the Chinese Communist Party — threatened by any large, organized group that operated outside its control — launched a systematic campaign to eradicate it. What followed is among the most extensively documented human rights catastrophes of the 21st century. Practitioners were arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and killed. Forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience — many of them Falun Gong practitioners — has been credibly alleged by independent tribunals, human rights researchers, and former detainees. The persecution continues to this day inside China, where simply holding these beliefs can cost you your freedom or your life. Outside China, the CCP did not stop. It simply changed its methods. 😈The Authoritarian Export What happened at Union Square on May 9th fits a well-documented global playbook. The U.S. Department of Justice, Freedom House, and human rights organizations have all raised alarms in recent years about the CCP's systematic campaign of transnational repression — the practice of reaching across borders to intimidate, silence, and punish dissidents, ethnic minorities, and religious communities living in free countries. The targets are not only Falun Gong. They include Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kong democracy activists, and ordinary Chinese citizens whose families remain in China as leverage. The tactics include surveillance, harassment, threats against relatives, online smear campaigns — and, increasingly, physical violence in public spaces in the heart of democratic cities. This is not paranoia. It is policy. 🚨A Call to Action The free world must name this for what it is. When a man storms a peaceful stage in Manhattan specifically to destroy the religious symbols of a minority spiritual community, that is not a random act of madness. When similar incidents have occurred in Flushing, in London, in city after city where Chinese diaspora communities gather to exercise the freedoms their host countries guarantee — that is a coordinated campaign. To the United States government: Investigate. Prosecute. The perpetrators of transnational repression on American soil must face the full weight of American law — and those who direct them from Beijing must face consequences at the diplomatic and economic level. To Congress: Strengthen and enforce the Transnational Repression Policy Act. Name and sanction the CCP officials, agencies, and proxy networks responsible for these operations on free soil. To the international community: Recognize that an authoritarian regime willing to silence a meditation practitioner in a New York public square is a regime that does not respect borders, sovereignty, or human dignity anywhere. What happens in Union Square is connected to what happens in Xinjiang, in Tibet, in Hong Kong. The geography changes. The machinery is the same. Freedom is not merely a domestic value. It is a promise — and when a foreign dictatorship reaches into our cities to break that promise for the most vulnerable among us, the silence of democracies is not neutrality. It is complicity. The lotus flowers were thrown to the ground in Manhattan last Friday. The people who placed them there got back up, kept their faith, and filed a police report in the country that promised them protection. The least we can do is make sure that promise holds. Background note: The Chinese Communist Party launched its persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999. Since then, documented abuses include mass arbitrary detention, torture, forced labor, and alleged organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience. Falun Gong practitioners constitute the largest group of religious prisoners in the world by most human rights estimates. Outside China, Freedom House's annual Transnational Repression reports have repeatedly identified the CCP as the world's most prolific perpetrator of cross-border political persecution.
