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. More than 100,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been detained and imprisoned. Those who openly express and practice their belief are met with tortures, arbitrary arrests and detentions. Forced Labor camps, mental hospitals, state-owned media and the law have been misused as tools of severe human rights violations. Force labor and selling organs of executed prisoners are still common. These violations have been extensively documented in numerous reports of the United Nations and international human rights organizations. Such reports include those issued by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, by United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Questions of Torture, by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary, or Arbitrary Executions, just to name a few. The cases documented in this collection are violations of some deeply held and universally acknowledged human rights that include the right to not be arbitrarily arrested, imprisoned and deprived of life; the right to not be subjected to torture and genocide; the right to hold and exercise views and beliefs freely and without interference; the right to liberty and security of the person; and the right to associate with others and to practice religious and spiritual beliefs without restriction. These rights are enshrined in a number of widely ratified international treaties. Among the specific human rights treaty standards violated by the Chinese Government are the Convention Against Torture, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Genocide Convention, and the United Nations Charter. Many of these same standards are embodied in customary international law and in jus cogens, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The exercise by the victims of these internationally recognized human rights, enshrined in both ii treaty and customary international law, and universally recognized as part of the law of nations, has been seriously and maliciously abridged by the policies and actions of the Chinese Government under JIANG Zemin and his cohorts acting under color of law and in their official and quasi-official capacities, clearly outside the scope of their lawful and legitimate authority. This submission represents tireless and heroic efforts by numerous individuals and human rights organizations during the past four years. The information contained herein are based primarily on accounts of eyewitnesses who are victims, relatives and friends of victims, neighbors, co- workers, journalists, and Chinese Government officials including policemen who wanted to put an end to the persecution. Our sources in China have taken tremendous risks in collecting and passing to us information to be included in this submission. We are ready to provide detailed information to assist investigations by international organizations, information that includes names, telephone numbers, addresses and other information identifying and locating the perpetrators. World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization with the mission to bring human rights violators to justice. It is focused on investigating and publishing human rights violations against Falun Gong. Fa Wang Hui Hui (FWHH) is a database system dedicated to collecting information on the persecution of Falun Gong. FWHH publishes various reports on the persecution of Falun Gong together with other human rights organizations and by itself. In this report, information regarding victims is listed in the order of Name, Gender, Age, and Unique ID in the FWHH system.

    Designing effective learning experiences for diverse and scattered ethnic minority groups across Yunnan Province, China DAI Hongwu, Assistant Professor of Foreign Languages (on leave), Yunnan Normal University; Ph.D. student, organizational leadership, Eastern University, [email protected] Dennis Cheek, Chief Learning Officer, Values Education Pte. Ltd., Singapore, [email protected]; Visiting Professor, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, IÉSEG School of Management, France, [email protected]; Consulting Professor, Duy Tan University, Da Nang, Vietnam, [email protected] Abstract Five key interrelated areas are being mapped, analyzed, and synthesized to better understand the challenges and issues for quality multicultural educational materials and learning experiences for ethnic minority groups within a large province in southwest China. Rapid urbanization and intensive social exchanges have changed the cultural outlook of ethnic minority groups and society. The related educational issue is how to preserve the cultures and languages of ethnic minorities and their sociocultural identity in the process of government-encouraged social and cultural integration with Han culture, Mandarin, and modernity. Sociocultural Ethnic Minority Groups in Yunnan Province, PRC Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is slightly smaller in size than the U.S. state of California. Its diverse geography and widespread rurality are home to approximately 48.3 million people (2018 estimate). While the majority are of Han ethnicity, 34% (16.4 million) of the population are members of ethnic minority groups. The 25 largest ethnic groups within the province have populations of 5,000 or more, including the Yi, Hani, Bai, Dai, Zhuang, Miao, Hui, and Lahu. A number of these ethnic groups also move freely back and forth between the borders of the PRC and neighboring countries leading to fluctuations in minority populations and quite active cross-border relations.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

Overall, the Chinese economy has shown exceptional economic growth over the last five years, closely associated with China’s increased integration with the global economy. Many American companies have benefited from Chinese economic growth, as evidenced by rapid and sustained increases in U.S. exports to China. U.S. exports to China increased 28, 22 percent and an estimated 19 percent in 03, 04 and 05, respectively. In 2005, China surpassed the U.K. to become our fourth largest export market. • Meanwhile, China's macro economy continues to grow robustly. According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, China’s economy increased by 9.8 percent in 2005. Total retail sales rose 13 percent last year and are expected to continue to rise rapidly in 2006 as a result of increased consumer credit, expansion of the retai l sector and increased income in rural areas.

    Chapter 4 China's High-Tech Development

    CHAPTER 4 CHINA’S HIGH-TECH DEVELOPMENT SECTION 1: CHINA’S PURSUIT OF DOMINANCE IN COMPUTING, ROBOTICS, AND BIOTECHNOLOGY Key Findings • China has laid out an ambitious whole-of-government plan to achieve dominance in advanced technology. This state-led ap- proach utilizes government financing and regulations, high market access and investment barriers for foreign firms, over- seas acquisitions and talent recruitment, and, in some cases, industrial espionage to create globally competitive firms. • China’s close integration of civilian and military technology de- velopment raises concerns that technology, expertise, and intel- lectual property shared by U.S. firms with Chinese commercial partners could be transferred to China’s military. • Artificialintelligence: China—led by Baidu—is now on par with the United States in artificial intelligence due in part to robust Chinese government support, establishment of research insti- tutes in the United States, recruitment of U.S.-based talent, investment in U.S. artificial intelligence-related startups and firms, and commercial and academic partnerships. • Quantum information science: China has closed the technolog- ical gap with the United States in quantum information sci- ence—a sector the United States has long dominated—due to a concerted strategy by the Chinese government and inconsistent and unstable levels of R&D funding and limited government coordination by the United States. • High performance computing: Through multilevel government support, China now has the world’s two fastest supercomputers and is on track to surpass the United States in the next gener- ation of supercomputers—exascale computers—with an expect- ed rollout by 2020 compared to the accelerated U.S.
