The Chinese regime has been keeping its lips tight about its persecution of Falun Gong. This silence likely has less to do with the brutality of the persecution, but rather due to embarrassment that after more than 15 years its persecution has failed.
Few events highlight the failing persecution better than the Chinese New Year, when people from every part of China—from farmers, to military officers, to government officials—send greeting cards thanking the founder of Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi.
Each year, these greeting cards are compiled and posted online by Minghui.org, one of the main websites used by Falun Gong practitioners around the world. Ahead of the start of the 15-day Chinese New Year celebrations on Feb. 19, Minghui had already received thousands of greeting cards.
