===Cults (According to Christians)===

On 25 April 1999, about 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners gathered near the central appeals office in Beijing to demand an end to the escalating harassment against the movement, and on 29 July the same year, Falun Gong was banned by the Central Government. The persecution of Falun Gong enabled Jiang Zemin to seize control of [[File: Mediastocracy flair.png]] media, [[File:PolState.png]] police, and [[File:Tankie.png]] the military to eliminate dissent. He even went so far as to create his own paramilitary organization called the 610 Office to persecute the cult. Re-education through labor, Laojiao, rapidly expanded with hundreds of camps being built all across the country to jail Falun Gong practitioners and other dissidents. The persecution of Falun Gong gave Jiang Zemin unprecedented powers and made it easier for him to maintain a high level of influence over Party politics after his term ended in 2004 when he was forced to formally hand over power to the new Paramount Leader [[File:Hujintao.png]] Hu Jintao. Local officials often competed to arrest as many Falun Gong practitioners as possible to show their loyalty to Jiang's faction. The Governor of Liaoning, [[File:BoXilai.png]] Bo Xilai, was one of the leading officials in the Anti-Falun Gong campaign which made it easier for him to rise through the ranks of the Party.

 

 

Falun Gong media often promote views in line with the Republican Party and Western conservative politicians such as [[File:SteveBannon.png]] Steve Bannon, Mitch [[File:McConnell.png]] McConnell, and [[File:Necon.png]] Lindsey Graham. They are also very critical of [[File:Oligarchy.png]] "elites" and [[File:Corp.png]] "big tech" corporations such as Bill Gates' [[File:Microsoft.png]] Microsoft and Cisco which they accuse of having helped China set up their surveillance network, Great Firewall, and promoting Chinese state propaganda. Falun Gong support [[File:DPP-Taiwan.png]] the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan over the [[File:RevRightKMT.png]] Kuomintang which they perceive to be too friendly to CCP's interests and want China and Taiwan to be recognized as separate countries. They're also highly supportive of other Chinese dissident organizations such as the World Uyghur Congress, the Central Tibetan Administration, and the Hong Kong Democracy Movement and hope that China will be broken into several different states along ethnic and cultural divisions.

Falun Gong media have gained widespread popularity and coverage since [[File:Blump.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism|Donald Trump's]] presidential campaign. The cult portrayed Trump as a messiah-like figure sent from heaven to destroy the Chinese Communist Party. Before 2021, cult-affiliated media such as China Uncensored regularly tried to portray then-presidential candidate [[File:Bidenism.png]] [[Big Tent Liberalism|Joe Biden]] and the US Democratic Party as communist sympathizers that would turn the US into a Chinese vassal state should Trump not win the 2020 Presidential Election. Since Trump lost (which the cult initially denied by promoting the election fraud conspiracy) and Biden won the presidency, Falun Gong media has back-tracked on their negative coverage of the Democratic Party as US-China relations have only worsened over the past 2 years contrary to what they had previously told their audience would happen.
