Falun Gong and the World: How Many Eight-Years Do We Need? – Comment on Langone (2007)

Frank Tian Xie, Ph.D.

Abstract

How long does it take to know somebody or a group of people—especially when these people are all open to scrutiny by anyone, and they invite others to understand them, encourage people to join them for nothing in return (yes, nothing, not even membership dues or contributions)? This group is Falun Gong. The world should know well now what Falun Gong is and is not, and what kind of regime would still be persecuting it into its eighth year. The author contributes to the discussion about this issue, hoping to clarify some of the facts about Falun Gong.
