Now the CCP isn't all sunshine, but neither is any other nation on this world. The CCP has done things ANYONE would be ashamed of, but you people should NEVER DENY the good things that they HAVE DONE.

Tens of millions practice Falun Gong. For a great many of these folks, it is simply exercise/meditation. Sure, there may be those who go overboard and believe whatever comes out of Mr. Li's mouth

Hence the chinese goverment banned falun because of this and the well published falun gong practisoner burning her and her daughter in tianamen square.

In the 1990s there was a wave of falun gong related deaths in china because the falun gong preached that medicine should not be taken and that practising a few "body movments" could solve your problem.

Also if we believe the "claimed" figure of 100million practisioners by falun gong, you get lots of people beliving in aliens, walking through walls and invisiblity .
Since its public introduction in May 1992, Falun Dafa has attracted over 100 million practitioners worldwide in just ten years. Falun Dafa cultivation emphasizes that one should conduct oneself according to the principle of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance". Regardless of gender and age, regardless of nationality and race, every practitioner who persistently cultivates his/her heart and practices the exercises has benefited tremendously. Constant diligent cultivation has brought significant changes to many practitioners in both physical conditions and moral values. At the same time, Falun Dafa is gaining worldwide understanding and appreciation, especially in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.

Falun Gong practitioners believe in Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance, and never pay attention to aliens, walking through walls and invisibility.

Read that interview... I think Master Li makes it clear that FLG is far from just about "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance." What's next Oct? Are you going to deny that interview every happened?

In the last eight years, more than 100 million people in China and abroad have become spiritually renewed through practicing Falun Gong. For them, it hasn’t been simply faith that has led them in this direction, but incredible personal experiences. These include healing of chronic and sometimes so-called incurable illnesses, and enlightenment to the truth of the universe.

Master Li clearly states that the whole basis of Falun Gong is aliens and the supernatural...

Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) is a powerful, holistic practice that cultivates the mind, body, and spirit. It's origins lie in antiquity. As a form of traditional Chinese qigong, Falun Gong was for many centuries passed down in lineage fashion from teacher to disciple, unknown to the general public. In 1992 that would change. For in May of that year, Mr. Li Hongzhi, the practice's master, brought Falun Gong to the general public in northeastern China. It was time for the world to enjoy the profound benefits of this practice.

By your logic, the Scientologists are an evil cult. So, because of some crazy beliefs that indirectly led to deaths, they are evil? Again, by this logic, the Christians/Muslims/take your pick are evil cults.
The protester setting her and her kid on fire...weird, crazy, but not necessarily evil. Sorry, try again.
You'll have to do better than that to convince me
that they are more evil when they don't force people to have abortions
kill political dissidents
execute people with mobile vans
harvest organs, etc.
You can deny the bad stuff China does all you want. They're worse than the US, and that's pretty bad
Beijing -- China has formed a special force of undercover online commentators to try to sway public opinion on controversial issues on the Internet, a newspaper said on Thursday. China has struggled to gain control over the Internet as more and more people gain access to obtain information beyond official sources. The country has nearly 100 million Internet users, according to official figures, and the figure is rising. A special force of online commentators had already been operating in Suqian city in the eastern coastal province of Jiangsu since April, the Southern Weekend said.

After worshiping so-called experts, now you turn to worship the reporter of Time Magazine, is it possible that he wrongly interpreted Mr. Li 's original words

A vice-president of the European Parliament returned last week from a three day investigation into human rights abuses in mainland China. He is the first high-level western official to personally meet with persecuted Falun Gong practitioners inside China. The facilitator of the gathering, a Boston businessman and Falun Gong practitioner himself, was arrested and deported for "hosting an illegal meeting." Over the course of several days, Vice-President Edward McMillan-Scott met various Chinese diplomats, experts, and intellectuals. In the mid-1990s, as a member of the EU Committee on Foreign Affairs, McMillan-Scott investigated the Chinese Communist Party's political practices.

And quite probable, seeing as China got Google to do that little censoring thing...
