Continued from page 1
The U.S. Congress passed a resolution in
July condemning the persecution of Falun
Gong members, and urged investigation of
allegations that Chinese government agents
are harassing and intimidating Falun Gong
supporters in the United States.
The Chinese government has said Falun
Gong is a subversive cult, but members say
the movement is entirely spiritual and has no
political agenda. The Chinese consulate in
Houston could not be reached for comment.
Diana Roberts, a Falun Gong practi
tioner in Houston, said, as many as 3,000
Falun Gong members will be outside the
Bush Library, peacefully protesting Jiang’s
visit.
“We'll just sit calmly and project posi
tive thoughts, and hopefully Jiang will
sense the positive atmosphere and change
his mind,” Roberts said. “(Jiang's) perse
cution against Falun Gong is brutal and
savage, and we just want it to end.”
The U.S. State Department has docu
mented government persecution against
Tibetcin Buddhists and Christians, and has
forced abortions to limit the country’s pop
ulation growth.
Jiang will meet with former President
George Bush and tour the presidential
library, and will meet with President
George W. Bush Friday at Bush's ranch in
Crawford.
Besides the perennial issues in U.S.-
China relations, such as human rights and
trade, Hermann said the two leaders will
grapple with recent developments in Iraq
and North Korea. The United States is
seeking China’s support for a United
Nations resolution that would require Iraq
to comply with rigorous weapons inspec
tions, Hermann said.
North Korea recently announced it is
continuing its nuclear weapons program,
after it had agreed not to. China's cooper
ation will be key to resolving the tension
with North Korea, Hermann said.
“Both sides see a number of issues they
have a common interest in cooperating
on,” Hermann said.
Roman Popadiuk, executive director of
the George Bush Library Foundation, said
the majority of the 600 tickets to the event
were reserved for students, with blooks
