What is Falun Gong? Falun Gong is Chinese spiritual discipline for the mind. Combined moral and spiritual teachings in China. Aim to cultivate truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. Buddhist revival movement

Why has China reacted negatively towards Falun Gong? Communist party started viewing Falun Gong as a threat due to its size, independence from the state, and spiritual practices. On July 20, 1999, the Chinese government banned all access to websites mentioning Falun Gong. Viewed as dangerous “feudal superstition”. Conducted many protests and campaigns and wrote to newspapers to complain. The most threatening opponents to the Chinese government.

Chinese Crackdown Protestors representing Falun Gong were arrested on accounts of “advocating superstition, spreading fallacies, hoodwinking people, inciting and creating disturbances, and jeopardizing social stability.” Campaigned launched by the government to show Falun Gong as an “evil cult.” No longer exists as an organized movement in mainland China. Number of people practicing (underground) has dropped massively.
