China is a country unused to groups confronting its authority – that is exactly what Falun Gong set out to challenge – it broke into news broadcasts and began to send out its own messages.
Chinese authorities arrested thousands of activists who were openly Falun Gong
The number of Falun Gong members may be less than 2 million however they do have support and a presence outside China. Apart from spreading its message and breaking into broadcast it has not resorted to violence.
Many mainstream Chinese were appalled at the sights of young burnt women who had self immolated in Tiananmen Square – this probably did ore harm t the movement and was likely a coup for the government
Data produced by Falun Gong indicates that the Chinese have resorted to torture and force feeding of captured Falun Gong members.
