Let's look at why the methods the CCP used to persecute Falun Gong haven't achieved the goal of exterminating Falun Gong.
Recalling the 80-year history of the CCP, and looking at the crisis they are facing by persecuting Falun Gong, many people do not understand-including the CCP itself-why such a seemingly powerful regime can't defeat the peaceful Falun Gong. Why don't the methods obtained from its bloody history work? The CCP claims that it came to power after it defeated the Nationalist Party's 8,000,000 strong army; so why have they failed in front of this cultivation group that is weaponless and has as a guiding principle the concept of "don't fight back when struck or insulted?"
The CCP will never understand it, but here we explain the reason.
When the CCP was planning to persecute Falun Gong, we knew what methods it would use since they are the same methods they have used for years. They believe in their methods, and that is all they can do. They can use many bad methods, but they don't know any good methods.
Using the CCP's own words, in the beginning, what it claimed to be its "revolutionary" period, it had "three magic weapons": "building the party," "armed fighting," and "a united force." During the "socialist building" phase, especially after the Soviet Union and eastern European communist parties dissolved, their own experience was "insisting on the leadership of the communist party," "centering on economic development" and "using two hands, two tough hands," etc.
To explain these terms further:
1. "Insisting on the leadership of the communist party" means they won't let go of power, not even a tiny bit. They only feel comfortable when they have absolute power.
2. "Building the communist party" means they want to embed the party system throughout society and make everything align with the party ideals.
3. "Armed fighting" means using violence as the base of their control and the main method of maintaining power.
4. "United force" means they will label any group of people as an "enemy" and count all others as a part of the "united force" in order to destroy their enemies. The next time it will be a different group of people labeled as the enemy.
5. "Centering on economic development" is to steal other people's work and make themselves look good, to show that they "care" about people's lives, and make it "legal" for cadres to turn into businessmen.
6. "Using two tough hands" is clearly showing that they are like hoodlums; they rope you in and then attack you.
Of course the CCP has many other methods. Basically all of the ugly methods that have been used throughout human history are used by the CCP; but none of them can affect Falun Gong.
They wanted to wield their power to force people to give up their beliefs. But in front of a true belief, their "power" has no effect. Their unreasonable orders seem so weak and ridiculous. History will show how ridiculous their "laws" and "orders" are. Many higher officials are in fact Falun Gong practitioners. They are law-abiding people. In the face of nonsensical orders, people realize that the CCP's "power" is nothing.
People should remember this lesson: coercion cannot change people's hearts nor people's beliefs. Will "armed fighting," violence, or threats work? The CCP used the full power of its control on the country, it used all police officers, prisons, the judicial system, the army, and all media to create an atmosphere of terror. In front of real cultivators they are still powerless. It is ridiculous and pathetic. The CCP went so far that they have removed organs from living practitioners. But they did not realize that Falun Gong practitioners do not fear death; so they aren't able to frighten anyone, they can only show how evil they are.
Exerting economic control is no use either. Their methods are: "ruin [practitioner's] reputations, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically." But they face a group of people who do not care about fame and gain. During all past political movements, these methods indeed worked, but in front of true cultivators, Falun Dafa practitioners, none of these methods work.
The CCP divides people into competing factions. They tried to use "conflict among people" and "conflict between people and an enemy" to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners. They tried to make people "hate" Falun Gong, and to isolate Falun Gong. They have used every tool at their disposal. But the CCP cannot see the real compassion inside people's hearts, and they cannot know how good Falun Gong is. So they could not predict that even the propaganda ploys like the so-called Self-immolation on Tiananmen Square would be unable to sustain hatred towards Falun Gong.
The CCP thinks Falun Gong is a tight organization; so they used the method of "capturing the ringleaders first" and abducted practice site leaders, instructors, and "backbone" practitioners. They thought that they would win by doing so; but soon discovered that Falun Gong was not vanquished despite the abductions. This is unthinkable to the CCP. How could Falun Gong still develop after its "organization" was destroyed? CCP control is totally dependent on its organization. The CCP uses the tightest organization to control its members, erase their humanity, and make them "obey the party" unconditionally. They thought Falun Gong was doing the same.
Later they discovered that Falun Gong does not have any organization. Then the propaganda started to say that Falun Gong is a spiritual group.
In order to crack down on Falun Gong, the CCP used every evil method that ever existed, including implication. They made the rule: any work unit that has Falun Gong practitioners cannot be nominated as a "model" unit, their employees will not get pay raises, the officials cannot get promoted and instead, are punished. Family members of Falun Gong practitioners are threatened with the loss of their jobs. In the prisons and forced labor camps where Falun Gong practitioners are detained, the staff are punished if they cannot "transform" the practitioners, the employees do not get any bonuses, and the prisoners who are mandated to watch the practitioners do not get their sentences reduced, and so on. The CCP uses those people's selfishness to incite hatred toward Falun Gong and they use those people to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. See how evil they are!
But the compassion and wisdom of Dafa is boundless. The power of practitioners' truth-clarification can melt everything. People can feel the kindness and compassion from the way Falun Gong practitioners' talk and behave. People can tell that the CCP is selfish, evil, and hypocritical. When people understand the truth, they know what's right and what's wrong, they see that the CCP is the one that should be hated, and all bad things happened because the CCP persecuted Falun Gong.
The CCP has used all their evil methods during the persecution. How long can they maintain the persecution? They are on the brink of falling apart.
Why don't the CCP's evil methods work on Falun Gong? They used the same methods to defeat the Nationalist Party, they tricked western countries, they did whatever they could and controlled the general population in China. But they have brought themselves to a dead end because of their persecution of Falun Gong. Why? It is in fact the largest manifestation of the timeless contest between good and evil. Good always triumphs over evil - this is a universal truth!
The failure of the CCP is obligatory because it is the biggest manifestation of evil. No matter how strong and powerful it looks on surface, it is weak inside. Most people in the world have kindness in their hearts. The CCP persecutes kindness, which is equal to persecuting all of the kind people in the world. How can it win?
The CCP will fail because it doesn't know Falun Gong. The leaders cannot understand Falun Gong because they see things from an evil point of view. They thought Falun Gong practitioners are like them, only interested in fame and gain, and afraid of suffering and death. They made their policies based on this understanding, which is totally wrong. Thus the CCP will meet the ugliest, most shameful end.
This part of history, the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, will serve as a warning to humanity forever.
I hope people can understand more of what's really going on from the fact that the CCP cannot defeat Falun Gong.
