What Brand of "Chinese Culture" does Chinese State Councilor Chen Zhili Represent?
A Dubious Background
State Councilor Chen Zhili of the People's Republic of China went to South Africa on July 11 for the opening of the "Voyage of Chinese Culture to Africa." She was also to visit Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Africans may want to know more about who Chen Zhili is, and what she represents: a career spent denying the freedoms of speech and belief, and, in her enthusiastic persecution of Falun Gong, the attempt to control a nation's thoughts and beliefs through brainwashing, torture, the denial of access to education, and the indoctrination and promulgation of hate propaganda.

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Tan Zhiqiang is a Falun Dafa practitioner who was laid off from the Jiangnan Machinery Factory in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province. His wife, Ms. Xu Li, also a practitioner, used to be a teacher at No. 3 High School in Taikang County, Henan Province. She went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was arrested in January 2001. She managed to escape, but since then she has been forced to leave home to avoid being arrested again. On February 20, 2004, between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., Mr. Tan and his wife Ms. Xu delivered some computer equipment worth over 20,000 yuan (1) to the second floor of the Shabei Bureau of Commodities Building in the rain. The light on the second floor was on when they arrived. Mr. Tan went up first while his wife waited downstairs. What they did not know was that the police were waiting for them. When Mr. Tan did not return after a while, Xu Li felt that something was not right and was getting ready to leave. Suddenly a plain-clothed policeman, Huang Jinqi, grabbed her, knocked her to the ground and started beating her. Xu Li shouted, "Falun Dafa is Good!" Curious onlookers surrounded them, so Ms. Xu used the opportunity to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa. The police were so afraid of being exposed that they drove the people away. Because Xu Li was struggling against the illegal arrest with all her strength, she was covered with mud and soaking wet. When she saw her husband again, Mr. Tan had been badly beaten by the police and his face was covered with blood.
