Appendix 1: Select Cases of Propaganda Officials Prosecuted, Fired Or Demoted Minghui Report: 97 Reported Cases of Chinese Propaganda Officials Receiving Karmic Retribution for Their Role in the Persecution of Falun Gong Appendix 1: Select Cases of Propaganda Officials Prosecuted, Fired or Demoted Li Dongsheng (李东生): Former Head of the 610 Office and Vice Minister of China's Ministry of Public Security http://www.minghui.org/mh/article_images/2017-12-22-mh-ebao-03.jpg Li Dongsheng Li Dongsheng assumed the position of deputy head of State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television in July 2000. He was instrumental in the Falun Gong propaganda attacks, and for this promoted to the position of deputy director of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Propaganda Department in May 2002. He was involved in staging and directing the “Tian'anmen Self-immolation Hoax” in 2001, which has been the pivotal issue in the propaganda, inciting hatred against Falun Gong among the Chinese populace. Given Li's participation in promoting fictitious propaganda against Falun Gong, he was promoted to the vice minister of China's Ministry of Public Security and the head of the {{610 Office}} positions. The latter is a gestapo-like agency, established for the purpose of coordinating and implementing the persecution of Falun Gong. He oversaw the nationwide persecution and continued to be in charge of the publication of nationwide inflammatory anti- Falun Gong propaganda. Li was sentenced to 15 years in prison and officials confiscated 1 million yuan of his personal assets on January 12, 2016. Lu Wei (鲁炜): Former Head of the CCP’s Cyberspace Administration http://www.minghui.org/mh/article_images/2017-12-22-mh-ebao-04.jpg Lu Wei Lu Wei, the former head of the CCP's General Office of the Central Leading Group for Internet Security and Information, also known as the internet czar, was placed “under investigation for suspected serious violations of discipline” on November 21, 2017. Lu started his career as a journalist and rose quickly through the ranks at the state-run Xinhua news agency in the late 1990s. The Xinhua news agency published more than 520 defamatory articles against Falun Gong between January 2000 and October 2003. During Lu's tenure as Xinhua's vice president, starting in October 2001, the publication of defamatory articles significantly increased. Besides, the news agency published more than a dozen propaganda articles a month attacking Falun Gong, between January and March 2002. In addition to his involvement in the “Tian'anmen Self-immolation Hoax,” Lu was also behind several inflammatory propaganda stories that slandered practitioners and blamed them for killing others. These hate propaganda campaigns misled a large number of people, incited hatred against Falun Gong, and also brought the persecution to an unprecedented nationwide level. Lu was later promoted to be the deputy mayor of Beijing, before he became the deputy head of the CCP's Propaganda Department and director of internet administration. He was the leading figure behind China's great firewall that strictly controls China's internet and censors unfavorable information of the Communist regime. According to the Freedom House “Freedom on the Net 2017” report, “China was the world's worst abuser of internet freedom for the third year in a row.” Another Freedom House study on religious freedom, published in February 2017, reported that many Falun Gong practitioners have been jailed for posting messages about the spiritual group and human rights abuses on WeChat or QQ, accessing banned websites, and possessing VPN technology.

Mo became the mayor of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia in February 2000. He rose through the ranks for his active participation in the persecution. Mo often blamed the head of the police department in Tongliao during public meetings for not persecuting Falun Gong more rigorously. He ordered the police to intensify their surveillance of Falun Gong practitioners, and arrest those who were distributing materials, or talking to people about that cultivation practice. During his tenure as of head of the Inner Mongolia Propaganda Department between December 2004 and November 2006, Mo arranged a defamatory exhibition against Falun Gong in many cities in Inner Mongolia.

  • Filariasis and Its Control in Fujian, China
    REVIEW FILARIASIS AND ITS CONTROL IN FUJIAN, CHINA Liu ling-yuan, Liu Xin-ji, Chen Zi, Tu Zhao-ping, Zheng Guo-bin, Chen Vue-nan, Zhang Ying-zhen, Weng Shao-peng, Huang Xiao-hong and Yang Fa-zhu Fujian Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Fuzhou, Fujian, China. Abstract. Epidemiological survey of filariasis in Fujian Province, China showed that malayan filariasis, transmitted by Anopheles lesteri anthropophagus was mainly distributed in the northwest part and bancrof­ tian filariasis with Culex quinquefasciatus as vector, in middle and south coastal regions. Both species of filariae showed typical nocturnal periodicity. Involvement of the extremities was not uncommon in mala­ yan filariasis. In contrast, hydrocele was often present in bancroftian filariasis, in which limb impairment did not appear so frequently as in the former. Hetrazan treatment was administered to the microfilaremia cases identified during blood examination surveys, which were integrated with indoor residual spraying of insecticides in endemic areas of malayan filariasis when the vector mosquito was discovered and with mass treatment with hetrazan medicated salt in endemic areas of bancroft ian filariasis. At the same time the habitation condition was improved. These factors facilitated the decrease in incidence. As a result malayan and bancroftian filariasis were proclaimed to have reached the criterion of basic elimination in 1985 and 1987 respectively. Surveillance was pursued thereafter and no signs of resurgence appeared. DISCOVER Y OF FILARIASIS time: he found I male and 16 female adult filariae in retroperitoneallymphocysts and a lot of micro­ Fujian Province is situated between II S050' filariae in pulmonary capillaries and glomeruli at to 120°43' E and 23°33' to 28°19' N, on the south­ 8.30 am (Sasa, 1976).

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China a Disser
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 © Copyright by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The How and Why of Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China by Jonathan Stanhope Bell Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Chair China’s urban landscape has changed rapidly since political and economic reforms were first adopted at the end of the 1970s. Redevelopment of historic city centers that characterized this change has been rampant and resulted in the loss of significant historic resources. Despite these losses, substantial historic neighborhoods survive and even thrive with some degree of integrity. This dissertation identifies the multiple social, political, and economic factors that contribute to the protection and preservation of these neighborhoods by examining neighborhoods in the cities of Beijing and Pingyao as case studies. One focus of the study is capturing the perspective of residential communities on the value of their neighborhoods and their capacity and willingness to become involved in preservation decision-making. The findings indicate the presence of a complex interplay of public and private interests overlaid by changing policy and economic limitations that are creating new opportunities for public involvement. Although the Pingyao case study represents a largely intact historic city that is also a World Heritage Site, the local ii focus on tourism has disenfranchised residents in order to focus on the perceived needs of tourists.

  • China Turns up Heat on Ex-Security Chief with Crash Probe
    CHINA PRIME TARGET: Zhou Yongkang was head of domestic security and a member of the Communist Party Standing Politburo Committee, making him one of the most powerful people in China, until he stepped down in 2012. REUTERS/STRINGER Authorities have begun investigating a crash in 2000 that killed the first wife of Zhou Yongkang, the prime target in China’s biggest corruption scandal, Reuters source says. China turns up heat on ex-security chief with crash probe BY BENJAMIN KANG LIM, CHARLIE ZHU AND DAVID LAGUE SPECIAL REPORT 1 CHINA’S POWER STRUGGLE BEIJING/HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 ittle is known about the exact circum- stances in which Wang Shuhua was Lkilled. What has been reported, in the Chinese media, is that she died in a road ac- cident sometime in 2000, shortly after she was divorced from her husband. And that at least one vehicle with a military license plate may have been involved in the crash. Fourteen years later, investigators are looking into her death. Their sudden inter- est has nothing to do with Wang herself. It has to do with the identity of her ex-hus- band – once one of China’s most powerful men and now the prime target in President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign. Investigators are probing the death of the first wife of Zhou Yongkang, China’s HUNTING TIGERS: President Xi Jinping has launched the biggest corruption crackdown since the retired security czar, a source with di- communists came to power in 1949, going after “tigers” or high-ranking officials as well as “flies”.
