The Falun Gong Show

August 18, 1999 | ISSUE 35•29

The Chinese government recently banned Falun Gong, a 100,000-member spiritual movement denounced as "dangerous to society." What do you think of China's crackdown on this meditation-based sect?

  • Thank goodness China was able to stamp out this dangerous sitting- around- doing- nothing- but- thinking movement.

  • The Chinese government may seem harsh to us, but at least over there, an individual worker-unit can propel itself along a transportway without fear of undue molestation.

  • Those meditators should be allowed to do what they want. It's a free country, you know.

  • China is cracking down on a popular quasi-New Age spiritualist? I think the U.S. should follow their example and crush that Deepak Chopra guy once and for all.

  • Falun Gong? Aren't those the folks who worship harmoniously arranged furniture?

    John Pellett
    Custodian

  • I'm just glad the Chinese government is finally cracking down on something.
