Why Fa Lun Gong is not a cult. They don't ask for money. They don't live as communities. They don't worship their leader, Master Li. They have about 100 million followers. It's not a relatively small group. They don't impose excessive control over their members. Their beliefs and practices are not considered deviant (outside the norms of society). People call it as a cult just because it's a religion that they don't like.

Erping Zhang. It's true that most religions and spiritual belief systems are peppered with weird and wonderful prophesies, and there's a saying that goes, 'A cult is just a religion you don't agree with'. As for Li Hongzhi's reference to 'a large-scale elimination of humankind,' Benjamin Penny says last days messages are common across a wide range of religious doctrines. Benjamin Penny: It's a last days message though that doesn't derive from a Christian-style eschatology. This derives much more from a Buddhist notion of the cycle of the Dharma or the Buddhist law. In some doctrines there is some kind of cataclysm and the process starts again. I don't think we should start to think of Falun Gong as being that kind of organisation that believes that the world's going to end next Thursday because they're not putting dates on, they never have, and it seems to me that one of the criteria for these genuinely apocalyptic groups is that there is a particular time of reckoning. The other is that they live in a relatively self-contained community. I mean if you look at Heaven's Gate or Jonestown or similar, the people have tended to live in a very tightly-knit community. And Falun Gong is much, much more open than that. I mean these people don't live communally, they live in normal society, they can practice individually or with groups, it's an entirely different thing kind of a thing. So I'm not expecting something apocalyptic to happen. Chris Bullock: For Dr Paul Marshall, at Freedom House in Washington, the cult argument is a smokescreen. This, he says, is about freedom of expression, and he worries about the anti-cult arguments. Paul Marshall: That people of beliefs, which to many others seem very strange and unusual are then treated as dangerous, and in many cases they're not. So we need to be careful of stigmatising them. Paul Marshall: In my own view I think that's a whacko statement. I just think that's crazy, I wouldn't go along with that. But most members we're talking about are into the exercises. So I think he has beliefs that I find very strange, and he has a legal right to have them, and they should have the legal right to have them in China, too

Why Fa Lun Gong is not a cult. Ian Johnson argued that applying the 'cult' label to Falun Gong effectively "cloaked the government's crackdown with the legitimacy of the West's anticult movement." He wrote that Falun Gong does not satisfy common definitions of a cult: "its members marry outside the group, have outside friends, hold normal jobs, do not live isolated from society, do not believe that the world's end is imminent and do not give significant amounts of money to the organisation ... it does not advocate violence and is at heart an apolitical, inward-oriented discipline, one aimed at cleansing oneself spiritually and improving one's health.":  David Ownby similarly wrote that "the entire issue of the supposed cultic nature of Falun Gong was a red herring from the beginning, cleverly exploited by the Chinese state to blunt the appeal of Falun Gong". According to John Powers and Meg Y. M. Lee, because the Falun Gong was categorized in the popular perception as an "apolitical, qigong exercise club", it was not seen as a threat to the government. The most critical strategy in the Falun Gong suppression campaign, therefore, was to convince people to reclassify the Falun Gong into a number of "negatively charged religious labels", like "evil cult", "sect", or "superstition". The group's silent protests were reclassified as creating "social disturbances". In this process of relabelling, the government was attempting to tap into a "deep reservoir of negative feelings related to the historical role of quasi-religious cults as a destabilising force in Chinese political history."

Absolutely embarrassing. China is a big joke.

Thank you for the positive energy brother

the time breakdown of a race is Minutes/seconds/Milliseconds not Hour/Minute/Second. are you joking?

Certainly ltd edition it's extinct

Most likely using reused batteries . Especially since batteries are difficult to dispose of they most likely just resell used as new

Never spontaneously combust.. until your that one where it did who didn't live to tell about it

Rather than why the question is why wouldn't they . We all know Chinese quality is garbage even AliExpress and temu packaging smells toxic and dangerous.. there was drywall sold in america in early 2000s in bulk that came from China also so this should be expected . Made it china should be seen as a warning

They can not build cars that will last 😂😂😂 save your money and life. You can not believe anything the government tells you you

In the 1970s, my (white American) father would do "forms", slow deliberate Tai Kwan Do moves just like what you show. And I've admired the group morning exercise routines from China. There is inherent respect for Chinese culture, CCP is a blight on that

We have FIRE sales here in the U.S. also. But they are a little different.

Shit China blatantly copied (stole) 95% of the Porsche Taycan design. (Xiaomi SU7 now) Only SAFETY is pure shit, explained in this VIDEO => czcams.com/video/7DJKQtU-aXI/video.html

Remember when phones used to catch fire? Same reason as that but they are using old dangerous tech still.

100% import tariff to US 😬

This happens almost every day in China. Some of them spontaneously combust in stores selling single items.

The 2017 & 2024 Total Solar Eclipses( v rare celestial events) solely over America form a perfect X, a Cancellation warning from Cosmic Powers above for the Principality to mend its Wicked Ways? Look and repent before its too late.

1) How is the "Rules-based Law" followed by US+Collective West, unrecognised by thr Rest of the World, be legal/lawful? Rationalised only by rogues/bullies as legal. Shows a disgraceful lack of self-awareness for the Pot to call the kettle black!

GOVERNORS, MAYORS, SENATORS, REPS, JUDGES, GENERALS, BILLIONAIRES, MILLIONAIRES, CELEBBRITIES, SPORTS STARS, NMNEEWS MEDIA, CORPORATWE OFFICERS, HEADS OF UNIVERSITIES, LAWYERS, ETC ETC ETC- HOW MANY AMERICANS HAVE RECEIVED STOLEN ORGANS FROM MURDERED CHILDREN? AND ARE NOW BEHOLDEN/ MORE LOYAL TO THE CCP THAN TO AMERICA? WOULD NOT THIS SCENARIO EXPLAIN THE STATE OF AMERICA TODAY? ALL RECPIENTS OF TRANSPLANTS FROM CHINA MUST BE REMOVED FROM PUBLIC OFFICE AND ALSO BARRED FOREVER FROM RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS WELL- ALL CANDIDATES MUST BE VETTED- THIS A MATTER OF VITAL, CRITICAL NATIONAL SECURITY!!!

China product quality? Sucks, Design looks fancy but reliability down the earth.

I'm fine with this. Keep going

Falun Gong doesnt even regard me as human. Tolerance & Compassion? Founder Li Hongzhi regards gay people as “filthy, a deviant state of mind” stating its "bad conduct" that must be "given up". He has also stated that the gods would “target” and “eliminate” homosexuals. How is any of that truthful, compassionate or tolerant? Please stick to your news programming.

Im scared for my country (Indonesia) now because i see BYD start invading our Country

This is going to be a tesla competition when it come to fire for sure...Wait! i thought China car manufacture using lithium salt?

Jackie Chen was the Whistle blower! he used to say Chinese made battery explodes😂

Most comment here are from self hating Asians.

Yep, unsubbed.

You are a good ambassador for your beliefs. Would be curious to hear what spirits or dieties you are trying to connect with during your meditation.

Tibet is also owned by capitalism and greed now. Peace

Unusual episode. Thank you

Why would anyone think you are going to get quality at .02 cents or less per hour? It makes no sense at all. No thanks.

Well imma be honest here. If you store stuff of significant value and even a decent amount of cash in your car, youre taking quite the risk. Its not about burning but its a prime target for theft.

Chinese EV Car in Thailand Has more Problem too , And “After Sell Service” has Very More Problem too.

China in not on any side. China is the side. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐒🐒🐒

This video makes me want to try to doing the exercises again. Thank you for this encouragement.

I appreciate Falun Dafa. It is a good exercise to cultivate gong and develop one's spirituality through truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.

has china ever made 1 item that wil last more than one day ???? China is exporting crap for m ore than 40 years and we stil want it strange verry strange

0:10 Have you checked the world today?

this aint it. stick to china news, not some chinese medicine scam BS. nobody is subbed for this.

A leader with a 5th grade education may not know how to treat his own parents. Trying to whitewash Xi and his cronies, the lack of courtesy shows Chinese people he is tough on the US so they can continue hating, and he will return to Joe Biden to brush it off as if he didn't know Blinken was in China. China uses Our social media to air their rude behavior and US doesn't get to air this way in China's social media. That bullying. Time will tell when it's time for it to happen.

OHhh NO!!!! A completly incompetent worthless military power that can’t even take over Ukraine teaming up with anotehr completly incompetent junk nothing military nation??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ohhhh the free word is SOOO scared 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Some resteraunt owners in China wash their customers veggies in a squat toilet.

US car manufacture almost shit their pants, lol~ they pay sleepy Joe put tariff on the Chinese EV and US media and youtube cheap shot their competitors~

There's a china town in Toronto by Garrard and Broadview and I remembered in the 80s. When I used to take the streetcar downtown I would see them in the park doing this. I'm in my 60s now and I wish I had learned how to do this. Maybe I should look up a park where they do this. I can't stand the CCP and I do say some bad things about them. I do understand that the Chinese people can't help who they are rule by. So many times I feel terrible about how they are treated. I'm a good natured person and I understand that we all have energies in us. Thank you for your video tonight, enjoyed something different.

thank you Sean!!!!!

All you need is sleep😂
