Twenty years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin delivered the order to “eradicate” the spiritual discipline known as Falun Gong, and started a campaign to demonize, imprison, re-educate millions of people across the nation.
Just what exactly is Falun Gong, which is also known as Falun Dafa? Why did the Chinese communist regime spend billions of dollars to persecute and vilify these nonviolent spiritual believers?
And while the persecution continues, why do we hear so little about it today?
This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek.
Today we sit down with Falun Dafa Information Center spokesperson Peter Erping Zhang, who has been practicing Falun Gong for 25 years. Zhang has consulted on China and Asia-related issue for over a decade in both the government and non-governmental sectors. He is a graduate of Beijing International Studies University, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and John F. Kennedy School of Government.
We discuss Falun Gong’s participation in the recently concluded US State Department Ministerial For The Advancement of Religious Freedom, Falun Gong’s origins, and how, in Peter’s view, the Falun Gong belief system is antithetical to Marxist ideology. As a result, it’s continued popularity poses a threat to the communist regime’s ability to control the minds and souls of the Chinese people.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
