Throughout history, all successful resistance efforts have had a foreign activities element. Forbes’ Richard C. Morais reports on Falun Gong’s activities in both the US, and the “No Man’s Land” of cyberspace:

Overseas Falun Gong practitioners are, for example, leading an underground campaign to hack China’s Internet firewalls to counter the Chinese Communist Party’s news blackout and propaganda in the Middle Kingdom. But there are many skirmishes between Chinese communism and Chinese spiritualism taking place on U.S. soil.

Consider, for example, the propaganda war that took place at New York’s Radio City Music Hall in late January. The New York City-based New Tang Dynasty TV beams uncensored free world news into China using capacity on European satellite-operator Eutelsat. NTDTV is loosely associated with Falun Gong (the spiritual group’s spokeswoman, for example, sits on the company’s board), and NTDTV hired Radio City Music Hall to stage a Chinese New Year gala. Not to be outdone, the Chinese government’s television station, CCTV, booked the famous hall immediately following the NTDTV gala and did its best to confuse the ticket-buying public.

Of course, all this belies Falun Gong’s earlier claims that it was simply a non-partisan spiritual movement.
