(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners conducted a car tour and collected signatures to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) nature in Orewa, New Zealand on January 9, 2021. It's summer in the southern hemisphere and many people were outside enjoying the warm weather.

Passersby asked about the car tour as practitioners prepared to set off. Helen, who is a Christian, said, “Thank you for standing up, especially in New Zealand. I want to pray for you as you are spreading the facts.”
She said the CCP controls people, but life and freedom are bestowed by God, not communism. She felt sad for the people living under the communist system. She feels the CCP brutally kills people because it has totalitarian power.
She pointed out that when people's desires are amplified, the devil controls and uses them. They become the devil’s pawns, but they don’t know it. They think they are stronger than others, but they are not. They are spirit-possessed. Nowadays, some people are possessed by the devil and feel good about themselves. They disregard others’ lives.
Helen also talked about her view of the U.S. general election. She said, “President Trump has faced various attacks from the left and leftist media since he entered the White House. No other American president has suffered so many attacks. The rumors about him are lies. We cannot believe the news on TV. However, positive forces are continuing to expose the voter fraud. God controls all.”
Hasan immigrated from Turkey many years ago. He is a former restaurant owner. He knows about the CCP because Turkey has close relations with it.
“I respect Chinese people very much,” Hasan said, “China is now the second largest economy in the world. The Chinese people should enjoy freedom, democracy, and the right to choose their own government. The whole world is watching China.”
He said the CCP’s persecution of religious groups is inhumane and wrong, but only the Chinese people can help themselves. Similar to the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the American Revolution, they are the result of civil rights and public will. He hopes that Chinese people can peacefully transition to freedom and democracy.
He said, “The CCP persecutes its own people. I believe that the whole world will work together against the CCP because there are many people who know the truth like us. But the most important thing is to let all Chinese people know the truth. There are 1.4 billion people in China. To help each one awaken is not an easy task.”
A Chinese passerby stopped his car near the practitioners’ booth and said he wanted to express his support. “I had always refused to listen to Falun Dafa practitioners before,” he said. “But this coronavirus pandemic spread throughout the world due to the CCP’s lies and cover-up. No one can escape this issue.”
“I did some research and I learned about the pandemic and the facts about the persecution. I now believe you—you practitioners are courageous! I will tell all my friends about this. But I know it is not easy, as they may refuse to believe like I did and refuse to listen. But, I will not give up. I want more Chinese people to see through the CCP’s true nature and support Falun Dafa. You practitioners in New Zealand and America are powerful.”
Chen, another Chinese passerby, expressed his admiration and support. He actively offered help to collect signatures. Within less than half an hour, he collected ten signatures at the library and supermarket.
Norman, an immigrant from Africa, said, “Chinese people should enjoy freedom and peace. The whole world should enjoy peace. We work toward the same goal. I support you.
“I come from Africa and lived in a similar environment. So I understand you. The CCP treats its own people like animals. The CCP covered up the coronavirus outbreak initially, and even silenced the whistle-blowers and protesters. You are doing a good job. Very successful.”
