On a tourism trip to Hong Kong almost a decade back, I saw posters of Falun Gong protests near a bus stop when disembarking, alleging illegal arrests, rape, live organ harvesting & torture. On a bus tour, a Westerner asked the tour guide about this. The guide responded: "If you ask me, the Falun Gong are pretty evil. Their founder claims that he was born on the same day as the Buddha & Jesus Christ. Go figure."
Of course, this statement is utterly illogical & ridiculous. But I had heard this before. A Chinese colleague, smart & professionally successful in the USA had told me this exact statement verbatim, when a lunch group conversation veered towards the Falun Gong.
Then, I realized that this was indoctrinated communist propaganda.
