With regard to this Xinhua article being a lie, as I previously mentioned, I do not accept most of what is printed in China, but if you look up the group who is making the statment, you will see that they preach Jesus and if that be the case, and what they say can be Biblically proven, then I will believe the statement. No matter whom makes it. So we have the word of one man, reported via a newspaper which is obviously a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, whose only direct experience of Falun Gong was staying at the same hotel, reporting the words of an unnamed US clergyman. What a great source of information about Falun Gong.
