On the evening of March 5, Changchun was not the only city to broadcast the Falun Gong truth-clarifying program in Jilin Province. For example, the cable television network in Songyuan City broadcast for over 40 minutes. First, "Truth of the Self-Immolation Incident," then "Falun Dafa All Over the World," and then other Falun Gong videos were shown. It was similar to Changchun, only the area covered was not as wide. This has become a popular subject of discussion among everyday people. The evil police also held an emergency meeting, and a lot of plainclothes policemen were everywhere that evening. Now the local Dafa practitioners are sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. It's believed that those upright people who did this have returned home safely. Details are not yet known.

According to overseas media reports, on March 7 similar incidents also occurred at cable television stations in Sichuan and Liaoning Provinces.

News from Jilin Province on March 8 -- On March 7, 2002, the public security departments, procuratorial departments, and people's courts of Jilin Province held an emergency meeting.

Wang Yunkun, Secretary of Jilin Provincial Party Committee, returned from some other business just to attend this meeting. Analysts think that this meeting was held because Jiang wants to investigate the incident of Changchun cable television network broadcasting Falun Gong truth-clarification videotapes, and this incident will be used to escalate the persecution of local Falun Gong practitioners.
