Dynasty Television Cao was arrested in August by the communist regime because she wrote
"Quitting the party" and Nine Commentaries related information on
bank notes. She was sent to Urumqi Women Labor and
Re-Education Camp, and died there several days later. A
reporter called the Allah Public Security Bureau National Security Brigade to
verify the news; a policeman confirmed Cao's death. According
to investigations made by a journalist, Cao
underwent breast excision surgery in 1998. After chemotherapy, she lost most
of her hair and weighed less than 40 kg. Since practicing Falun
Gong, Cao regained her health. After the
CCP started persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, Cao was sent to a re-education camp three times, but she
still maintained her beliefs. Cao's family was unable to accept the fact that she was
tortured to death and filed a lawsuit against the Urumqi
Women Labor and Re-education Camp. The case has now been transferred to the Xinjiang Supreme People's Procuratorate. According
to the latest information from the Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners (GMR), five Falun
Gong practitioners have died in the Urumqi Women
Labor and Re-education Camp to date, and two have become crippled from
persecution. Back Radio
Free The
protest-suicide of a According
to a Radio Free Asia reporter, Mr. Zang Ruiqun, 58, living in Dongcheng
District, "Zang's wife is handicapped," Ma said, "Yet the
compensation he was given was still very low. The demolition man threatened
that if Zang didn't allow his home to be
demolished, they would harm his wife. In response, Zang
announced that he would take his life in protest, and cut a hole in his roof
to hang himself. His family members found him dead on November 24, 8 p.m.,
his body still warm. Although an ambulance was called to the neighborhood,
officials of the Demolition Office wouldn't allow it to enter." On the
morning of November 30, dozens of tenants of rented housing units visited Zang's family. According to Ma, who participated, their
small gathering met with hostility by authorities. "Today,
dozens made it to Zang's home to support his
protest and to pay silent tribute to him," Ma told. "At first, only
the chairperson of the neighborhood committee went there to talk with us.
After noticing how many people were there, he then called the police to come
over. When a policeman finally arrived, he asked us why we were there, and
although we told him that we were there to offer our respects, he still
argued with us for quite a while." On
November 30, our reporter made a phone call to the Jingsan
Police Station to ask for the development of the incident. The policeman with
whom he spoke responded that a resident of the relocation household had
committed suicide and that his supervisor and other colleagues were in the
process of dealing with the case, but he didn't know anything further. Ma Lianfu expressed that over two hundred residents of
rented housing units would once again make it to Zang's
home to express their respects on December 4, and would bring a huge banner
with them. In
addition, Ma also revealed that the Zang family
used to own fifteen housing units before the communist takeover in 1949.
Afterwards, the authorities confiscated and rented eleven of them. Currently
the family, composed of over ten people, has been forced to live in only four
housing units. Moreover, these four units are scheduled to soon be
demolished. "An
elderly woman in her 80s by the name of Zhang Xiuzhen
was tortured to death last New Year's eve, after she petitioned to the
government over the issue of the 'renting housing units'," said Ni Yulan, another petitioner. Ms. Ni
also expressed that because the demolition practice has not stopped, her
neighborhood is a mess, and that demolition men have even taken advantage of
residents by destroying their homes while they were away. Notes:
Back Epoch
Times Staff While the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) media are loudly shouting the slogan
"building a harmonious society in China," the Central Commission
for Discipline Inspection on behalf of the Central Committee of the CCP has
requested that Chinese officials at or above the county level watch an
internal movie entitled "Peace with Sword in Hand This is a
significant event for the CCP since many Chinese people have quit the CCP and
its related organizations. According to an internal document, the event is
aimed to halt "the death of the CCP" and "save the CCP from
its crisis." Comparing
History The
propaganda tones internally and externally are quite opposite of each other.
Externally, the CCP emphasizes "harmony," "prosperity"
and "a rising The movie
has eight episodes including "The Historical Path Of The Communist Party
Of The Soviet Union's (CPSU) Prosperity And Decline," "The Basic
Theory And Guiding Principles of the CPSU," "CPSU's
Ideology," "CPSU's Spirit," "CPSU's Privileged Stratum," "CPSU's Organizational Principles," "CPSU's Leadership" and "CPSU's
Fighting Back Strategies Toward the Westernization and Split [Of the
USSR]." Regret
for Discarding Stalin The
movie's first episode reviews the power politics of the CPSU, and
acknowledges the great achievement of the theory of dictatorship of the
proletariat, and specially praised the dictator Stalin, but regrets that
Stalin was eventually discarded by the CPSU. The movie
concludes that the reason for the CPSU's loss of
power after 74 years was due to the CPSU itself, and claimed that the lost
control of ideology resulted in the prevailing capitalist liberalization,
which changed the opinion of their carefully educated elites. These elites
along with some institutional and economy management officials, some gray
economic powers as well as crime forces became gravediggers for the CPSU. The movie
also acknowledged that the inter-party atmosphere of the CPSU was completely
ruined through, for example, mutual flattery, embezzling and bribing,
privileged rights, exploiting officials, seeking personal gain, etc. The movie
also claims that withdrawal of memberships nearly paralyzed the Party. Within
two years, from January 1989 to January 1991, more than 2.9 million members
had publicly announced their withdrawal and the majority of members that did
not resign had lost their confidence in the Party as well. Through
careful review, the captions for the movie disclose the top secret agenda of
the CCP: the ultimate goal is to "liberate the entire human race."
The CCP has stated repeatedly that in order to achieve "global
socialism" and "control the world," the only means is to
resort to "military power." Back Voice of Large
Unemployment Population A few
days ago, China's Minister of Labor and Social Security, Tian
Chengping, said that the severity of China's
unemployment problems and the complexity of the situation have not been
experienced by any other country. Tian said the grim situation is the result of a severe
imbalance between supply and demand and an outdated labor market structure.
The rapid influx of workers from rural areas to urban centers worsened the
situation in cities that were already bulging with unemployed workers. Actual
situation far exceeds government figures According
to Dr. Liu Xiaozhu, a Chinese scholar specializing
in political science and sociology and now residing in the Mistake
of the Reform Policies Liu said
that although "By
structural reforms, we refer to the labor market and the development of small
to medium-sized enterprises. Due to errors in government policy, the
development of smaller enterprises is not encouraged. Such businesses could
provide a lot of employment." Liu said,
"There is no foolproof perfect solution except to make a resolute
decision to take further steps in the market economy and encourage the
development of smaller enterprises. Break through the monopoly created by
collusion between power and business. The second solution is to speed up the
construction of small towns and cities." According
to official statistics, the unemployment rate in the first nine months of
2006 was only 4.1 percent. Although this figure is low compared to the 15 and
30 percent unemployment rate in urban and rural areas respectively as stated
by analysts, the regime has admitted that the immense pressure of
unemployment is expected to become the most acute, long-standing problem

Singaporeans were convicted on Nov. 30 of "harassing" Chinese
diplomats. They were charged after meditating last July on the sidewalk in
front of the Chinese embassy under a banner. The
banner under which Ms. Ng Chye and Mr. Erh Boon Tiongthat were sitting
said, "7.20 hunger strike to protest the brutal
and inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners
by the CCP." "7.20" is July 20, 1999, when the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) began its all-out persecution of Falun
Gong. A
peaceful protest against a foreign regime ended in jail sentences for Ms. Ng
and Mr. Erh. The With few
natural resources, Together,
these cultural and economic factors make supposedly democratic "Big
Brother made me do it," is no excuse for what was, from first-hand
accounts, a kangaroo-court decision rife with irregularities, such as the
judge's refusal to look at evidence and to listen to four of five defense
witnesses. Here is
what's worse than the violation of freedom of its own people: Because they
put the gag on those who peacefully ask for the end of ruthless persecution, For both
small and mighty nations, these factors cloud their judgment and move them to
act against the rule of law, basic human compassion, and even their own
consciences, in order to appease the CCP. Let's be
clear: It is wrong for the world community to keep silent on slave labor,
religious persecution, torture, and systematic selling of human organs for
profit. But in
the end we must remember the world's biggest source of these reckless deeds.
We need to remember that it is the CCP who perpetrates those horrors that
diminish all of humanity. Blame By Cheng Xiaonong The Epoch
Times Editor-in-chief
of Contemporary China History Studies magazine, Dr. Cheng Xiaonong
gave the following address at a forum in There is
a principle that has long been overlooked when evaluating the social reforms
in In the
1980s, the regime usually took social justice into consideration when making
decisions, since this was part of the ideology of socialism. Back then, the
authority would try its best to redistribute financial resources to balance
the interests of different social groups such as workers, farmers,
intellectuals, and government officials. There wasn't the apparent social
injustice seen today. The government at the time considered people's opinions
and tried to explain the situation and take financial measures to compensate
the various groups that were affected. The
Turning Point However,
this environment totally changed after the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June
4, 1989. After the massacre, the China Youth Daily published an article by
Chen Yuan. This article gave a clear analysis of where the regime stood and
what choices it had after the massacre. According to the article, after the
massacre, the regime should have realized that no matter what reform it
initiated, it would never gain support from the majority of the population.
The Communist Party would lose power. The
regime wanted to stay in power and needed to get support from the cadres and
their next generations—these people are the hardcore supporters of the
Communist Party. Chen Yuan's article suggested that the regime adjust its
policy and let the reforms be beneficial to the cadres and their children;
only this type of reform would consolidate the party's power. The
polarization is progressively worsening; the structure has been formed and is
difficult to change. The elite group has monopolized power as well as the
opportunity to obtain wealth. The
regime created a series of opportunities to maintain the high growth, but
high growth neither improves people's living standards, nor increases
employment opportunities, but it does cause severe environmental pollution. There are
three methods to achieve high growth in a depressed consumer market. Three
methods were used to create a positive impression on tourists and foreign
investors. The first
is to attract foreign investment by any means, including reduce taxation,
allow pollution, allow foreign companies to hire workers to work extended
hours, reduce salaries, and lower labor safety standards. Through foreign
investment, The
second method is to construct public infrastructure using public funding in
construction to improve the appearance of city and public infrastructure. All
facilities are built, but underutilized. There is nothing left to build. The third
method is to encourage real estate development which will increase the demand
for construction materials, and the sales of high priced housing. If the
bubble bursts, the banks will have large portfolios of nonperforming bad debt. He further indicated that
these three methods are not beneficial for |
