Under pressure from the communist regime in China, Falun Dafa practitioners have been denied entry to the annual Chinese New Year parade in Manhattan for a fifth year in a row.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration shut down 26 bus carriers operating under three larger entities—two based in Manhattan’s Chinatown—citing a wide range of safety issues.
On Monday, the NYPD and Department of Homeland Security Investigations filed a civil complaint seeking confiscation of a Chinatown building used for illegal gambling.
The motives of some CBC producers are being questioned regarding a Radio-Canada program maligning the Falun Gong spiritual group. The program, “Malaise in Chinatown,” has been sold to broadcasters in France despite the fact that CBC’s French-language ombudsman is in the process of investigating complaints about it.
A peaceful demonstrator was severely beaten and bitten by a man who was believed to have been incited to violence by hate propaganda put out by the Chinese Embassy.
