Persecution Drives Politics in China. Responsibility for crimes against Falun Gong dogs regimes leaders. The world’s press has largely covered this institutional bloodletting under the rubric of “anti-corruption.” While it is true that corruption has been the pretext for charging officials, corruption is not the reason for the CCP’s civil war. The seeds for it were planted on July 20, 1999, when then-Party leader Jiang Zemin launched a campaign to eradicate the Falun Gong spiritual practice. Persecution According to official Chinese regime sources, there were at least 70 million Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) practitioners in 1999, while practitioners say the actual number was over 100 million, or 1 in 12 Chinese. In a letter circulated to Politburo members on the night of April 25, 1999, Jiang warned that Falun Gong was national in scope with practitioners in all parts of society, including Party cadres, members of the military and security apparatus, and intellectuals, as well as workers and peasants. theepochtimes/n3/800348-persecution-drives-politics-in-china/?photo=2
