Revenge of the Forbidden City: The Suppression of the Falungong in China, 1999-2008
Tong, James (Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for East Asian Studies, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for East Asian Studies, University of California, Los Angeles)
By 1999, the Falun Gong religious movement had spread widely and broadly throughout China. While on the surface its ideology of spiritual and physical cultivation did not seem threatening, the Chinese government felt otherwise. That year, the government cracked down hard on the movement, and its successful repression of it over a six year period is a textbook example of how the Chinese state operates in the face of perceived internal threats. Its success incontaining the movement speaks volumes about the regime's resilience as well. Revenge of the Forbidden City is the definitive account of China's response to Falun Gong. As James Tong shows, the episode also tells us a great deal about the Chinese state's political institutions, its media apparatus, and itsformidable ability to crush dissent. The result is a book that will be essential for any scholar interested in how the Chinese state actually operates.
