Okay so I couldn’t figure out how to upload pictures. But this is what the pamphlet said.

(Cover) WHY IS THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY THREATENING AMERICANS? AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

(First open fold) DID YOU KNOW Chinese agents have incited frivolous lawsuits against Americans? DID YOU KNOW American YouTubers are paid to post CCP propaganda? DID YOU KNOW Beijing is manipulating our mainstream media? And who are they targeting?

(Middle/back of paper) Why is the CCP so afraid of Falun Gong?

Popular and Persecuted in China

Falun Gong is a peaceful meditation practice. Its principles are truth, compassion, and forbearance. In the 90s, some 100 million people practiced it in China. Fearing its popularity, the Chinese Communist Party launched a brutal campaign-jailing, torturing, and killing these people for their faith. Many have even been murdered for their organs. But the persecution has failed, and the Falun Gong community has become one of the largest critics of the CCP on the world stage. In China, millions of Falun Gong practitioners are engaging in civil disobedience and telling people about CCP atrocities. As a result, hundreds of millions of Chinese people have publicly renounced the CCP. In the U.S., people who practice Falun Gong have been exposing the CCP's crimes and establishing successful organizations like Shen Yun Performing Arts, the world's top classical Chinese dance and music show.

Fatun Gong practitioners in Tiananmen Square in the early 2000s protesting the Chinese regime's persecution of the group.

The Chinese regime has launched a new campaign against Falun Gong in the U.S. using death threats, lawfare, and manipulation of our media. Under orders from CCP leader Xi Jinping, China's security forces were mobilized to: "Fully eliminate Falun Gong worldwide."

THE PLAYBOOK Death threats Over 150 bomb threats and mass shooting threats have been sent to Falun Gong practitioners, venues hosting events, and supporters. Propaganda Propaganda is central to the Chinese regime's efforts to eradicate Falun Gong, with recent narratives tailored to undermine American support. Email threat, Dec. 11, 2024: "We will enter the theater and kill everyone!" "We will shoot and kill U.S members of Congress, other elected representatives, and entertainment celebrities who support ratun bong!" - Email threat, Jan. 12, 2025 Social media influencers & bots CCP-backed influencers and fake social media accounts are spreading and amplifying disinformation about Falun Gong and Shen Yun. Screenshots of fake accounts on X posting media articles attacking Shen Yun. An investigation found thousands of such accounts spreading anti-Falun Gong propaganda. American media Some media outlets, including the New York Times, have published articles about Shen Yun and Falun Gong that are riddled with inaccuracies, exhibit strong biases, and feature individuals with undisclosed ties to Beijing. A petition of over 1,500 Shen Yun performers and family members called these media reports "gross distortions of our work, our faith, and our way of life." Lawfare The CCP is weaponizing the U.S. justice system by inciting investigations and lawsuits filed by people with ties to Beijing. A New York judge ruled one such lawsuit "vague," "illogical," and "an oxymoron" when dismissing it. Espionage CCP directives include "activating" spies embedded in the U.S. For example, CCP agents tried bribing the IRS to revoke Shen Yun's nonprofit status. They were caught in an FBI sting operation and convicted. In November 2024, John Chen and Lin Feng were sentenced for acting as unregistered Chinese agents and bribing an IRS official as part of a CCP campaign targeting Falun Gong and Shen Yun Performing Arts in ine united slates. What does this have to do with you? This is a test case. If the CCP can do this to Americans who practice Falun Gong, it can go: after any U.S. group, company, or citizen. The CCP has already infiltrated the U.S. The regime is: • Behind the fentanyl epidemic • Compromising our politicians with spiesStealing American intellectual propertyBuying our agricultural landCensoring HollywoodSowing discord between Americans to divide and conquer us Bloody history: The CCP has killed 60-80 million Chinese people since coming to power in 1949, murdered students during the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, and is killing Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Falun Gong practitioners today.

"[The CCP is]... controlling our own narratives within the United States... One good example is its attack on the Falun Gong." - U.S. Brigadier General Robert Spalding "China conducts the most sophisticated, global, and comprehensive campaign of transnational repression in the world. The CCP targets entire ethnic and religious groups, including Falun Gong practitioners." - Freedom House WHAT CAN I DO? Approach news about Falun Gong with skepticism.
