The PRC and Falun Gong
Abstract
During the past eight years, well
over a thousand news stories concerning Falun Gong have appeared. Many of these
deal with the Chinese government’s persecution of the group. The Chinese
government accuses Falun Gong of being an “evil cult” that threatens the welfare
of the Chinese people. Falun Gong presents itself as a peaceful cultivation
movement that is persecuted because of its popularity within China. Although
some of the teachings of Falun Gong’s founder, Li Hongzhi, have been widely
criticized, there is little evidence in the West of serious and widespread harm
to Falun Gong practitioners. The persecution of Falun Gong appears to be rooted
in the Communist Party’s unwavering adherence to ideological atheism. This
persecution has caused unnecessary and destructive social conflict. The behavior
of the Chinese government could, through a process of deviance amplification
combined with certain troubling doctrinal tenets of Falun Gong, cause the
movement to become more cult-like over time.
