| China
to continue fight against Falun Gong (07/20/2001)
The People's Daily publishs a commentator's article today, calling
for consolidating and furthering the fight against the "Falun
Gong" cult.
It says that China has achieved a decisive victory in the fight
after unremitting and determined efforts. However, The cult will
not voluntarily step down from the historical stage.
Li Hongzhi and his followers, like any evil force, have never stopped
doing illegal things, the article says, adding that Li has even
made some new remarks to instigate people to confront the government
after frequent frustrations.
What they have been doing is to prove that they still have some
value for the Western anti-China forces, the article says.
Nonetheless, "Falun Gong" has already lost its "power",
and Li and his followers are doomed to fail, the article stresses.
The article urges the people to have a better awareness that the
fight against "Falun Gong" will be a long-lasting, complicated
and acute struggle. Therefore, we must unite the majority of the
people while cracking down on the diehards with a firm hand, it
urges.
It continues to say that the fight against cults is a worldwide
campaign, and in socialist China it is the common aspiration of
the people that no cult can be allowed to harm society.
It concludes that China can win the campaign in an all-round way
because the country has maintained political stability and achieved
rapid economic growth.
