[Clearwisdom.net] Due to business reasons, I met with some US government officials lately and I found out by chance that Li Zhaoxing is playing cultural-revolution-style "defaming and slandering" tricks in the US before he steps down as an outgoing Ambassador of Jiang Zemin's government.
The Chinese diplomats have been very busy in the US recently. They passed out a lot of slanderous material about Falun Gong and its founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, to senators, congressmen and local government officials by writing letters, making phone calls, interviews, and dinner invitations. Many US government officials and people know from the media that the Chinese government ordered the police to beat unarmed Falun Dafa practitioners in Tiananmen Square. This campaign by Chinese diplomats can't stop the support of Falun Dafa by the US government officials. Instead, it is resulting in more and more people wanting to know what Falun Dafa really is.
Many senators, congressmen and local officials told Falun Dafa practitioners, "It's very easy to see those slandering letters and materials sent to us are not true. So we just trash them." "The Chinese government and its diplomats are really shameful. They act as though they are in China." "The Chinese government is interfering in our internal affairs." "Whatever the Chinese government says, it must be lying."
Some officers simply gave those letters and materials to Falun Gong practitioners. Some senior officers even gave suggestions, while more officers are now asking about Dafa. Even those who were reluctant to know about Dafa now accept Dafa books and read attentively. After reading the letters from the Chinese embassy, some mayors told the practitioners, "Tell me how I can help."
A senator also received a letter from the Chinese embassy just a few days after he was elected and assumed his office. He thus met some practitioners and said, "I am really feeling bad about the Chinese government. They have a very low credibility. Don't they know they are already internationally notorious? You came from China, and I am sure you have the same feeling. My predecessor supported you, so do I. Tell me, what I can do to help you?" A senior officer in his office also showed interest in learning Falun Dafa.
From these facts, we can see that no matter how many attempts they make or how much of the taxpayers' money they spend, Jiang's government can only defame itself even more. They don't even know that, every time they put out propaganda attacking us, it will actually help the spread of Dafa.
One thing to point out is that Jiang and his followers always claimed that Falun Gong had been utilized by overseas political forces. In fact, it is they themselves who were trying to plot with overseas governments. For example, in his letter to senators and congressmen, Li Zhaoxing wrote, "Let's work together to stop the spreading of XX." When will Jiang's government and diplomats understand the word "Shameful"?
