Tricky cultists!
After all their whining about how pure and misunderstood the Falungong are, here’s another story about their creepiness and general deceptiveness.
These Suzhou-based English teachers I know from the web had a party.¬† A guy they only knew a little bit showed up, and seemed nice enough.¬† He needed a place to stay for a while, and so somebody let him stay in a spare bedroom.¬† From time to time he also asked to borrow the man’s computer.¬† On a side note, the guy seemed to have no inclination to pay his host rent, or anything fair like that.¬†
Well, lo and behold, two months later the police come to the apartment.¬† The new guy and his host are taken away for questioning.¬† The host’s computer was also taken to the station.¬† Down at the station, the cops questioned the host, and presented him with a bunch of stuff found in his guest’s room (where the host had never snooped).¬† It turns out the guy was using his host’s computer to make Falungong propaganda, and copy FLG-related DVDs, and then was taking all this stuff around town, posting it and giving it to people.¬† So this FLG guy was being totally dishonest and abusing his host’s hospitality.¬† The FLG guy gave his host a number to call when he found out he was going to be held at the police station for a while, and said the guy he called “would know what to do.”¬† It turns out the contact was some guy really high up in the FLG hierarchy in Australia.¬†
The teacher in Suzhou could have been deported over this, but it seems he will be okay.¬† He’s out of a computer for the time being, though.¬†
