Jennifer Zeng, who now lives in the United States, worked for the Chinese Communist Party.
Jennifer Zeng is a Chinese-born human rights activist and author, best known for her practice of Falun Gong, the subsequent government suppression of the movement, and the book she wrote about her experience regarding Falun Gong.
Labour camps
Her life changed when she embraced religion and was swept up in a government crackdown on Falun Gong, and thrown into labour camps (from which, unbelievably, organ harvesting is a multimillion-dollar industry).
Falun Gong is sort of Buddhism mixed with Taoism.
The practice emphasizes morality and the cultivation of virtue, and identifies as a practice of the Buddhist school, though its teachings also incorporate elements drawn from Taoist traditions
Jennifer refers to herself as a “China insider” because of, well, her inside knowledge of the inner workings of the Chinese government.
Our conversation
In our conversation, she discussed
- the Chinese Communist Party as the real threat to the world (especially Africa);
- Marxism being rejected;
- westerners not knowing what actual oppression is; and
- the Chinese Communist Party infiltrating everything.
An excellent accompanying conversation is mine with Mike Zhao (who grew up under the same regime).
