Quote:

"Four years ago, shortly after Indonesian followers of China’s banned Falun Gong movement set up a radio station here, Beijing’s embassy in Jakarta sent a stern letter to Indonesia’s government. Denouncing what it called an 'evil cult' and a 'tool for overseas anti-China forces,' the embassy urged Indonesia to pay 'close attention to the matter' and 'take measures' to halt the radio broadcasts so as to avoid upsetting relations with Beijing.

"Unlike exiled Chinese democracy campaigners, who have mostly faded into obscurity or become mired in infighting, Li [Hongzhi] and his supporters have formed a highly organized, disciplined and mysteriously well-funded movement.
