So you post from the "China Daily". Is this an objective, unbiased source of a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party? Let's see what it has to say about Taiwan:

"Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's sovereign territory, whose temporary separation from the mainland is a leftover of the Communist-Nationalist Civil War in the 1940s. Chinese people are determined to defend its territorial integrity by whatever means."

"Scholars angry with island leader:
Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian was accused Thursday of doing harm to the mainland by distorting Beijing's efforts to defend the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

"Taiwan's "Beacon diplomacy" doomed:
Taiwan independence" advocates recently strengthened the "beacon diplomacy" - diplomatic offensive - in an attempt to scramble for more "diplomatic space.""

Follow the link for more of the same. I think this makes it pretty obvious that the "China Daily" is NOT an objective source of opinions about Falun Gong.

If you will read my statements, in #59 & 61, you will read that I am very cautious when reading anything that comes out of China, but in this case, all one has to do is to research the person being quoted in the article and see that he is a Christian. He seems to be a Christian, and until someone proves otherwise, I will stand by him and his Christian perspectives in China, as I am not an expert of the country nor their religions.

Here is his bio: http://ce.cei.gov.cn/G_body/a2/a2dqghxz.htm

There are Christians in China, and I would venture to say, that the Christians there are much more grounded in their faith than most of us Christians here in the USA.
