Falun Gong, Ten Years On

Stephen Noakes

English Abstract
French Abstract

Over a decade after it ran afoul of the Communist Party leadership, touching off a campaign of repression that led to its virtual eradication in China, the Falun Gong spiritual movement has spread across several continents and morphed into a transnational political advocacy group seeking justice and redress for the alleged persecution of its Chinese followers. Exploring a diverse selection of notable books on the subject, this review article enumerates prominent perspectives on Falun Gong’s political significance and suggests its continuing relevance for understanding the durability of authoritarianism in China.

Falun Gong, dix ans après

Après avoir subit la disgrâce des leaders du parti communiste depuis plus d’une décennie, une campagne de répression contre le Falun Gong s’ensuivit et qui conduisit à son anéantissement virtuel dans toute la Chine. Le movement spirituel du Falun Gong se répandit néanmoins à travers plusieurs continents et se morpha dans des groupes de soutien politique international, visant à trouver justice et réparations aux persécutions présumées de ses disciples chinois. Par le biais d’une recherche de sélection importante de livres sur le sujet, cet article énumère les différents aspects de la portée politique du Falun Gong et démontre sa pertinence afin de mieux saisir la pérrenité de l’autoritarisme en Chine.
