Falun Gong On The Streets Of London

Out and about yesterday, I was handed a free newspaper outside Liverpool Street station.

I have commented before on the scandal that Tesco is distributing the Epoch Times, a free newspaper distributed by the Chinese religious cult Fulan Gong.

Fulan Gong is of course perfectly capable of distributing its own rubbish, and on Saturday 4-5 distributors were busy at Liverpool Street. When I asked the young East European man who gave me the paper about Fulan Gong, he feigned ignorance - indicating he is either a well indoctrinated cult member, or genuinely did not know what I was talking about, and had just taken the work to earn a few quid.

Would I be right in guessing that as opposition grows to Chinese policy in various fields, we will be seeing a lot more of The Epoch Times?

Falun Kong in China is different form it is in the other places. I mean it could be considered as either a Kongfu or a religion in the west. But in China, Falun kong practicers were politicizing and tried to block the gov, as they never did it in the west. So this Falun Kong is not that Falun kong. That is why Falun Kong could be legal in the west but not in China.

I come from mainland in China.I don`t know much about the presecution because we have nearly no access to the true story.
Some of my classmates` parents used to be followers of Falun Gong, but they were not disturbed by the government.
Before 1998 there were many different 'Kongfu' just like Falun Gong in mainland.None of them were banned by the government.That`s very strange.
I really thank the followers of Falun Gong since they promote Chinese culture all around the world.However, I hate their anti-science theory--it is ridiculous!
