"Falun Dafa takes 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance', the universal truth, as the standard for cultivation practice. It cultivates goodness and is peaceful. All of Dafa's activities are open to the public, and the practice is voluntary. Each practitioner is from different walks of life, and there are no activities that violate the law or that are harmful to society. Since July 20, 1999, when the gang inside the Chinese government that's led by the head political scoundrel began to suppress Falun Gong practitioners, more than 100 million people have been unjustifiably persecuted; more than 100,000 people have been sent to jails, to forced labor camps, and to mental hospitals; more than 1,000 people have been persecuted to death without cause; and this type of persecution still continues. Because of this, the students of Falun Gong are doing all they can to let the world's people and governments know the truth about this persecution and the degree of its wickedness. In particular, when the head of the evil goes abroad to put on a show, practitioners would go to the countries that it goes to in order to protest, and at the same time send forth rigtheous thoughts to clean out the chief demons that are controlling the head of the evil."

As a consequence, the principle of "one country, two systems" is a mere illusion. People's fears have been exacerbated by the comments of Vice-Premier Qian Qichen. The development of democracy and human rights in Hong Kong during Tung Chee-hwa's second term as Chief Executive will be retarded thanks to Beijing.
