    ATROCITIES IN CHINA: LIST OF VICTIMS IN THE PERSECUTION OF FALUN GONG IN CHINA Jointly Compiled By World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong PO Box 365506 Hyde Park, MA 02136 Contact: John Jaw - President Tel: 781-710-4515 Fax: 781-862-0833 Web Site: http://www.upholdjustice.org Email: [email protected] Fa Wang Hui Hui – Database system dedicated to collecting information on the persecution of Falun Gong Web Site: http://www.fawanghuihui.org Email: [email protected] April 2004 Preface We have compiled this list of victims who were persecuted for their belief to appeal to the people of the world. We particularly appeal to the international communities and request investigation of this systematic, ongoing, egregious violation of human rights committed by the Government of the People’s Republic of China against Falun Gong. Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual practice that includes exercise and meditation. Its principles are based on the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice began in China in 1992 and quickly spread throughout China and then beyond. By the end of 1998, by the Chinese government's own estimate, there were 70 - 100 million people in China who had taken up the practice, outnumbering Communist Party member. Despite the fact that it was good for the people and for the stability of the country, former President JIANG Zemin launched in July 1999 an unprecedented persecution of Faun Gong out of fears of losing control. Today the persecution of Falun Gong still continues in China. As of the end of March 2004, 918 Falun Gong practitioners have been confirmed to die from persecution.

Selections have been taken from Tian Feng, the church monthly published in Shanghai by the China Christian Council and the Three-Self Patriotic Movement of Protestant Churches in China, The Nanjing Theological Review, the journal of Nanjing Union Theological Seminary and Collected Sermons published by the Zhejiang Christian Council. Individual authors have also generously shared their as yet unpublished work, in the form of conference papers and sermons. Certain issues crucial to the renewal of the Church in China continue to dominate theological reflection there, be it in church documents, addresses, essays or sermons, whether the writer is a church leader, seminarian, pastor or lay Christian. The necessity to run the church well in administrative and financial terms; the need for a well-defined church order; for more and better-trained personnel, both ordained clergy and lay leaders; the need to raise what is termed the "quality" of faith of rural Christians; and the need to broaden the overall unity of the church, all sound urgently and repeatedly through these pages.

Yu Xiao, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 Economic decentralization has profound effects on a country’s economic performance, but not all countries pursue decentralization. Why do some countries see decentralization as a better strategy for development than others? What political conditions facilitate or inhibit economic decentralization in autocracies? Studies that focus on democracies have largely reach a consensus that politically decentralized systems tend to pursue economic decentral- ization policies. This dissertation contends, however, that there is an opposite relationship in autocracies. Specifically, it is the politically centralized autocracies that are more likely to pursue economic decentralization policies.
