Aug. 22, 2025

(Minghui.org) The CCP’s Persecution of Falun Gong: 25 Years and Counting was published by Minghui.org in 2024 and summarizes how Falun Gong practitioners have exposed the suppression by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since July 1999. Operated by Falun Gong practitioners Minghui.org is the primary platform for information related to Falun Gong and records how it is persecuted by the CCP.

The book documents the systematic suppression by the CCP since July 1999 including defamation, illegal detention, forced labor, torture, forced organ harvesting, and so on. Through first-hand accounts, cases, and eye-witness testimonies, the book reveals the scale and cruelty of the persecution. It also describes how practitioners are determined in their faith, uphold Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and peacefully oppose the persecution.

Core Themes

Persecution facts: The CCP uses various methods in its attempt to eliminate Falun Gong including propaganda, detention, and torture. After the peaceful appeal on April 25, 1999, former CCP leader Jiang Zemin launched a nationwide suppression against Falun Gong in July 1999.

Human rights issues: This book covers the international society’s response to the suppression such as the Falun Gong Protection Act and Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act passed by the U.S. Congress and exposes the CCP’s forced organ harvesting (including the Kilgour–Matas report).

Spiritual journey: Despite the extreme brutality Falun Gong practitioners continue to expose the persecution through peaceful protests and by raising awareness in various forms.

The book can be purchased through Tianti Books, and sample pages can be downloaded from Minghui Publishing.

Copies were donated to the U.S. Government, the University of Washington Library, and the National Central Library in Taiwan.

Social Response and Impact

International Attention: The book received considerable international attention since its publication. For example, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote back after receiving the book, expressing his support for the values of faith and freedom.

Exposing the persecution: Falun Gong practitioners have used the book to expose the CCP’s persecution, particularly among human rights organizations, international media, and governments. For example, the book discussed the CCP’s forced organ harvesting which drew attention from media outlets like The Epoch Times and international human rights organizations, prompting Western countries to put pressure on the CCP.

Cultural and Faith Impact: Some readers expressed on social media that the book not only exposes the persecution but also demonstrates the connection between Falun Gong’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and traditional Chinese culture. They believe that Falun Gong plays an important role in resisting the CCP’s tyranny and reviving traditional culture.

The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party

The CCP’s Persecution of Falun Gong: 25 Years and Counting is related to the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Both books are published by Falun Gong-related organizations and both reveal the CCP’s brutality. The latter analyzes the CCP from a broader historical and ideological perspective, while the former focuses on specific persecution cases of Falun Gong over the past 25 years. Together, they provided a holistic view of the CCP’s true nature.
