Bao Gu: Persecution of a Cultivation Way Leads to Moral Corruption
In China police block passersby on the streets and order them to curse the founder of Falun Gong or to step on a picture of him. Whoever refuses to do so is taken to a brainwashing class to be "reformed." Such conduct is unbelievably reprehensible.

If we bow in any way to those that brutally and shamelessly persecute us then this in fact would be the real danger for the Chinese nation!
