Chinese government maintained a sustainable, speedy and stable economic development and Chinese comprehensive power is greatly enhanced. Such achievement made the western anti-China forces worried, and "Chinese deterrence arguments" emerged once and once again. Anxiety of its masters also agitates Falun Gong as well. Since Falun Gong has become the core of anti-China organizations, its cult nature of anti-reason, anti-science and anti-human has changed a little. But on the other hand, it has got more and more politicized and gradually become a political tool of the western anti-China forces, and thus posing a great threat to the Chinese government.
Before 2006, although Li Hongzhi had some political ambition, he dared not to say he played politics. On September 3, 1996, Li Hongzhi said, "Practicing is not political"… "Some practitioners are critical to the society and the government. They learned our 'Fa' without giving up their strong hatred and even wishing to make use of 'Fa' for their politic ambition. These are dirty psychological behavior that violates Buddhism and 'Fa'. They will not consummate if they don't give up such thought. "
On September 7, 1996, Li Hongzhi promised in the book "Dafa Lasts Forever" that Falun Gong "will never involved in politics, never interferes the state affairs. By real practicing and pursuing benevolence, keep purity of 'Dafa', and it will last forever."
On June 4, 2001, in the article "No Politics", Li Hongzhi alleged Falun Gong to be "the force to strive for justice that acts against the evil regimes", saying that Falun Gong was not politicized but "to save people". In those days, Li Hongzhi didn't admit the kind of retroactive political activities to be "involved in politics". Although Falun Gong was involved in politics at that time, but they dared not to say so openly.
By February 21, 2007 (the fourth day of the new year under Chinese Lunar calendar), however, Li Hongzhi eagerly published the book "Reflection on Politics". In "Reflection on Politics", Li Hongzhi said, "Since 'politics' can reveal facts about persecution and stop persecution, can help to tell the truth and save people, why can't we make use of politics? Falun Gong disciples shall get involved in politics to fight against Chinese government". He held up the flag of politicization by further instigating Falun Gong practitioners to get fully involved in politics and overthrowing Chinese government. Currently Falun Gong has completely mingled with the anti-China organizations and served as the pioneer of the western anti-China forces.
By creating Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi wishes to be the Number one hierarch in the world. He had meant to develop Falun Gong by making use of the influence of religion among people. After several years' promotion, however, he felt that other religions hindered the development of Falun Gong. In particular it was every difficult to spread Falun Gong in religions such as Christian, Islam, Buddhism and Taoism because followers of these religions are very devout to their respective belief. Li Hongzhi was very hostile to these religions as they have hindered him from realizing his dream of becoming No. one hierarch in the world, hindered him from realizing his goal of enlarging Falun Gong and serving as pioneer of the western anti-China forces. Such hatred bursted out on February 28 when Li Hongzhi published an article "Comprehensively Disaggregate the Psudo-gods Interfering the Orthodox Law", declaring war against religious followers in the world. He said, "the so called gods that dominate the major religions…at present they try to prevent the followers from understanding the truth, having billions of followers lose such a outstanding chance; they put the common people at such a risk as to be washed out and; even directly interfere the orthodox law. In order to save the common people, Falun Gong followers must comprehensively disaggregate the Psudo-gods that prevent the commonners from being saved from understanding the truth. Comprehensively disaggregate and clear out them, disregarding what forms they have, whether they are tangible or intangible and how lofty they are." Li Hongzhi's act on impulse has betrayed his intention of becoming No. one hierarch in the world.
Based on Falun Gong's evolution, its latest actions and analysis of the two lections of Li Hongzhi, I estimate that the political tendency of Falun Gong would be as follows:
Falun Gong will continue to serve as the core of anti-China, anti-Communist organizations under control of the western anti-China forces. Taking its overseas headquarters as a centre, it will coordinate the anti-China and anti-Communist propagating efforts of the western anti-China forces; interrupt foreign activities of Chinese government, blemish Chinese government's international images; it will try to prop up Mainland China activists under the camouflage of human rights, freedom and democracy, and to coordinate the western anti-China forces with their efforts of peaceful evolution against China, including having color revolution. Toppling down Chinese government is the ultimate goal of Falun Gong.
In the future, priority of Falun Gong organization will still be: serving as the anti-China political tool of the western anti-China forces; trying whatever they can to promote influence of Falun Gong and develop its forces; denouncing belief of Chinese government as "exotic culture" that are antipathetic to traditional Chinese culture by fabricating articles like "Nine Comments on the Communist party", "Disaggregating Culture of the Communist Party"; By fabricating rumors and rootless propagating of "Sujiatun Rumors", "Harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs alive" and "Three quits" to deceive the compassionate public, including overseas Chinese and friends of China and; disrupting public orders by instigating Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China to have illegal activities such as telling the truth.
