Following the CCP harassment in Flushing New York, a "Quit the Chinese Communist Party" Service Station" in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea was also harassed by three Chinese hoodlums on the afternoon of June 22.

The police arrived on site promptly and arrested all three troublemakers. Two of them were released shortly because they had not directly engaged in violent actions and apologized sincerely.

The third one, Li Danzhong, continued to harass the service station volunteer while in the police station, and was sent to the Department of Exit-Entry Administration in Inchon. Ansan police indicated that the violators would be repatriated to China shortly.

"Quit the CCP" service stations are operated by volunteers, many of whom are Falun Gong practitioners. The centers help Chinese people understand the actual history of the CCP, and its record of human rights violations.

According to the Falun Gong volunteer, on that Sunday afternoon, two intoxicated Chinese walked by the station and pointed at the exhibition board and repeatedly shouted "This is false!" The shouting attracted a sizeable crowd.

A Chinese, later identified as Li Danzhong, rushed out from the crowed and shouted, "Even if you videotape me, I am not afraid!" Li knocked the camera out of one volunteer's hand when Li saw the volunteer was about to take his picture. Li also repeatedly threatened, "You stay alive for me, I will remember you…!"

The local police arrived promptly and arrested the three violators, who attempted to flee when they saw police. After being arrested, two of the hoodlums sobered up and realized their situation, and apologized to the police with sincerity. The police ascertained that they had not engaged in severe violent or destructive behavior, and then released them, after recording their information and their infractions.

The police then brought Li Danzhong and the service center volunteer to the police station.

Li Danzhong continued his abusive behavior while in the police station. Even while sitting handcuffed to an iron ring in the station, Li continued to threaten the service center volunteer: "I will remember you. Wait till I am released—I will take care of you…."

According to the police, Li was certain to be repatriated to China shortly.

Li will be the second Chinese to be repatriated by Korea for harassing Falun Gong. The first one, Wang Hai, attacked Falun Gong practitioners in front of the Chinese Consulate two years ago. Wang hid inside the Consulate after the incidence, but was finally arrested by Korea Foreign Affairs police. He was repatriated to China after paying a fine.

An San City is the largest Chinese residential area in Korea. According to the "Quit the CCP" service center volunteer, there are five service centers in the city. Service center statistics indicate that more than 70 % of the city's Chinese population has come to one of the service centers to announce their resignations form the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
