"We will have around 20 people on each team. We may also send some students to work the night shift. The reason is obvious. If we snatch the demonstration spot, our opponents will try to take it back. Therefore we should remain highly alert, especially at night when you sleep. Orders could come anytime if more help is needed."
"In a nut shell, right now we are like fighting a battle. So today it's a mobilization meeting. We want everyone to be highly responsible and highly alert."
"First we need someone who has a heightened sense of political responsibility. Next we want people that have leadership and organization skills; this way we can make sure things go smoothly."
The above are excerpts from directives given at a gathering of Chinese students who have received Chinese state-funded assistance for their studies in Canada. Yuan Pinghua, head of the Ottawa Association of Chinese State-funded Study-Abroad Students and Scholars hosted the meeting and spoke the above-mentioned words. The decrees were issued to the students in anticipation of Chinese communist leader Hu Jintao's visit to Ottawa, Canada, on June 23, 2010.
Present at the same meeting was Liu Shaohua, First Secretary of the Education Office, from the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa.
Speeches given by both Yuan Pinghua and Liu Shaohua were secretly recorded and the details later publicly released.
The recordings indicate that the Chinese Embassy spent a lot of money gathering thousands of Chinese-Canadians and state-funded students to welcome Hu Jintao, with the underlying purpose being to suppress Falun Gong and other protesting groups.
Yuan Pinghua and Liu Shaohua used similar words in their talks: "battle;" "political war;" "orders may come any time," and "pre-battle mobilization" popped up numerous times at the meeting. Local Falun Gong practitioners confirm that Embassy officials organized a large number of people to occupy demonstration spots and block practitioners' banners.
The CCP Extends its Persecution of Falun Gong Overseas
Another reason for staging the "Welcome Hu Campaign" was to influence the Canadian government.
During the past 11 years, the regime has used almost all of its resources and all kinds of unimaginable means to pressure other countries to join its attempts to persecute Falun Gong.
As in this case in Ottawa, whenever a Chinese leader visits a foreign country, the local Chinese embassy organizes Chinese students and local Party-faithful to "welcome" the leader by standing in front of protestors and their banners. This is meant to keep the leader from any embarrassment and loss of face in front of world leaders. More importantly, it is done to make sure that television footage of the leader's overseas visits show a sea of wildly supportive Chinese welcoming him, to the complete exclusion of any mention or photographic evidence of the many groups that protest the CCP regime and its litany of human rights crimes.
The regime employs a combination of favorable trade agreements and bribes to influence leaders in Western countries. And more is carried out behind the scenes. They incite and fund Chinese hackers to launch attacks on Western countries' computer systems. They manipulate and control Chinese media in dozens of countries and infiltrate Western media by planting their own people. Spies are another means the regime uses to spread its venom in Western societies.
The ultimate goal is to persuade Western societies to abandon their fundamental moral principles and turn a blind eye to the persecution of Falun Gong.
If the international community fails to realize how evil and harmful the CCP's unscrupulous persecution of Falun Gong is, the founding principles of their countries may well be at risk.
