Commentary: Xinhua News Agency and China News Net Elevate Their Shamelessness and Treachery to a New Level

July 06, 2003 |   By Qing Di

(Clearwisdom.net) July 3rd report: on July 2nd, China News Net journalist Wang Min published an article, claiming a "Falun Gong practitioner" in Wenzhou City confessed that "beggars and loafers are regarded as the highest level of human beings; killing beggars and loafers helps cultivation." Therefore, this "practitioner" allegedly committed more than 17 counts of food poisoning, which killed 16 beggars and loafers.

After the Chinese police "solved" a series of "virgin prostitute" crimes, (note: some police in China, to make fortunes from fines, arrest innocent girls and torture them, forcing them to admit they are prostitutes so they can fine them. Some police even force the girls to reveal the names of their "patrons" so they can extort a huge amount of money from those innocent men) they also "solved" the case of a "practitioner killing beggars and loafers," transforming it into an unusually big criminal case with "great political significance." Their choice to publish it on the Party's birthday, July 1st, shows their intention to create a sensational atmosphere and embolden themselves in their persecution of Falun Gong when their persecution is going completely downhill and failing.

After Xinhua News Agency and its subordinate, China News Net created the unprecedented theory that "killing is saving," which has never been promoted in religious circles, they made up the shocking story of "Falun Gong practitioners carrying the SARS virus and spreading it throughout the nation." This time, inspired by the theory of "Three Represents" [created by the dictator Jiang, the former leader of China] they again amaze people with the notion of "killing beggars and loafers helps cultivation," which has elevated their shamelessness and treachery to a whole new level.

We should note that China News Net must have a guilty conscience, as it did not propose this theory under its own name; instead, it was put forth through the mouth of a "practitioner." However, I think China News Net should have the copyright for this theory. It would be better if they were to divulge the names of all the perpetrators and persons responsible as evidence, so in the future, when people investigate it, all of these people will get their equal share of punishment. This way, journalist Wang Min won't be the only one to take the blame. Of course, the copyright issue does not prevent me from saying important things about some key points of this new theory:

First, if "beggars and loafers are regarded as the highest level of human beings," why don't the "practitioners" become beggars and loafers, to reach the "highest level" themselves at once? Why do they have to "kill beggars and loafers" to "help their cultivation?" The first part, "beggars and loafers are regarded as the highest level of human beings," does not have any logical connection with "killing beggars and loafers helps cultivation." Such a way of thinking could only exist at Xinhua News Agency, which had previously published the news of "10,000 jin [about 11,022 lbs] of crops being produced on a one-mu [0.17 acre] field," [in 1960's] and the statement that "killing is saving." It is impossible that others would have the boldness to make up reckless and shameless lies without considering the consequences.

Secondly, the reason Xinhua News Agency solemnly announced this theory through the mouth of a "practitioner" was to link it to Falun Gong. However, after reading all the Falun Gong books, we can't find this statement that "beggars and loafers are regarded as the highest level of human beings," and "killing beggars and loafers helps cultivation" anywhere. Even closely related ideas cannot be found. Obviously, the words of the "practitioner" that endured relentless brainwashing from the Party's police, who are good at using torture and temptations of term reductions to get confessions, do not have anything to do with Falun Gong. There are so many Dafa practitioners in China. If the theory spouted by the newspaper were true, all the beggars and loafers would have already been completely eliminated.

Regarding the two other invented claims, "Killing is Saving," "Get Infected with the Virus, and then Carry and Spread It throughout the Nation," I have written articles in which I solemnly pointed out that they are copyrighted by Xinhua News Agency. Today, I again wrote this article with the intention to seriously tell all people that the copyright for this illogical claim, "beggars and loafers are regarded as the highest level of human beings," and "killing beggars and loafers helps cultivation" belongs solely to Xinhua News Agency and its subordinate, China News Net. Any replication or plagiarism of this theory will be treated as a serious violation of the property rights of China News Net, and will be punished by law.
