In Order to Cover Up the Staged Tragedy on Tiananmen Square, Jiang Offers Up His Latest Ploy

April 10, 2002 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Several major international media outlets recently filed reports about a strange performance by the Chinese government. After making the participants in the tragedy at Tiananmen Square disappear for more than a year, the authorities suddenly brought them out in front of reporters.

Their intentions could not be more transparent. Last month after the Changchun practitioners exposed without a doubt the obvious fallacies in the Jiang regime's staged episode on Tiananmen Square, where several people set themselves on fire as part of a scheme to slander and discredit Falun Gong, Jiang's only response was to bring forward these people and proclaim that "they are Falun Gong practitioners."

These poor burn victims, whether they were coerced into it by the Jiang regime or had some other incentive, were all sacrificial lambs callously used by the authorities. Even sadder than their terrible injuries from the burns is the fact that they are still being used today to poison the minds of people across the world. When they are no longer useful, they will be tossed away without a second thought.

In the Jiang regime's latest attempt to fool the people, they fed lines to these victims to say. Even though on the surface their words had a certain ring of truth, in reality they were full of fallacies and contradictions. Below are just a few such examples.

No matter how many tricks the Jiang regime plays and how much effort they expend, they cannot cover up the truth. Nothing can make people forget the many policemen patrolling Tiananmen Square with full firefighting equipment, the plastic bottle filled with gasoline that would not ignite, and the girl singing a song after having a tracheotomy.

Because of all of these obvious fallacies, the media reaction was predictable. The reporter from the BBC correctly pointed out that this whole setup was an obvious attempt to justify the persecution of Falun Gong to the world. The AP was even more dismissive of the charade, calling it a "bizarre public relations effort this week to persuade the world that its fight against Falun Gong is justified."

This latest ploy by Jiang's regime only accomplished one thing--to attract the ridicule and scorn of the international community.
