Why Does Jiang Zemin Persecute Falun Gong?

If someone says that Falun Gong will become a threat to any government, not only common people but also Jiang himself would not believe it. Then why does he persecute Falun Gong to this day? On the one hand, the evil nature of Jiang determines that he inevitably stands in opposition to the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance". On the other hand, he has a sinister personal political agenda.

It is well known that because of Jiang's own corruption and incompetence, corruption prevails in Mainland China, and people are boiling with resentment. Therefore, Jiang had to start a "political movement" that would shift the focus of the conflict in China. Thus he would be able to maintain his power. When he learned that Falun Gong is truly a practice that teaches people to be good, he believed that practitioners could be easily bullied. He then made up his mind to make Falun Gong the first target of attack.

Jiang attempts to achieve the following goals by persecuting Falun Gong:

1. Attack those high-ranking officials in the Party who sympathize with Falun Gong because of their sense of justice and thereby consolidate his autocratic rule in the Party.

2. Make the local governments persecute people and thus lose the support of people, so that they can be easily controlled.

3. Place the blame of social instability, which in fact is due to his corruption, onto Falun Gong.

4. Tear down those Chinese people who have a much better reputation than him to vent to his jealousy and personal spite.

For more than two years, Jiang has utilized the most despicable means in human history, including fabricating rumors to mislead people, framing people, extorting confessions by cruel torture, injecting practitioners with unknown drugs, and dispatching secret agents to conduct assassinations, all to persecute Falun Gong in an unprecedented, brutal way. However, he is unable to shake tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners' determined faith in the universal truth. In addition, Jiang's prestige has dramatically dropped within the Party, and the vast majority of Chinese people despise him even more. People all over the world much more clearly realize his evil nature. Even his henchmen have started to lose confidence in him.

Undoubtedly, Jiang's struggle that holds heaven's law in contempt is accelerating his downfall.
