there is a lenghty (and horrible) documentary on this focusing on the persecution by authorities of a non-violent movement of .. whatever it is called.. across China. The documentary came out in the USA right around the time that major trade policies were changed under Biden, which seemed not-coincidental. Once the finger pointing starts in this thread, lets remind ourselves that peace is possible, starting now. edit: yes that documentary link below.. This post is getting downvoted, but I will add.. revenge and unresolved anti-justice sentiment are prime motivators for WAR. I ask people who have never seen this up close, to think very well before adding nationalistic accusations to a public forum. Personally I am a friend to the Tibetan People and this is nothing new to me, so do not mistake kindness for weakness. It is a stronger stance to firmly refuse antagonizing strong emotions, and find a path forward that includes justice and individual human rights, for all beings I might add.

Are you referring to Falun Gong [1]? I couldn't find the documentary you have in mind, but I did find this one [2] from 2014.

Those who would make peace with tyranny do not deserve peace.

  this phrase exactly, is sometimes called a "dog whistle" .. the intention is to incite violence against those who "do not deserve peace".. It is important to see this for what it is, and what it leads to, IMO.

    If you want eternal peace, it waits for you on the other side. Until then, si vis pacem, para bellum.

Yeah, the Falun Gong own several media outlets, so they have become well known as a group and have strong social media influences, they themselves support or create minor spinoff groups such as "China Tribunal" in order to get plausible deniablility for the claims these other groups make To them it is taboo to have their bodies altered, similar to other Christian religious groups elsewhere which don't accept blood transfusions But anyhow, these days it has become more and more obvious for the Falun Gong members that they are inside a big cult [1] [1] https://ben-d-hurley.medium.com/information-is-beginning-to-surface-about-the-inner-workings-of-falun-gong-481e75c55e5c https://ben-d-hurley.medium.com/information-is-beginning-to-...
