Falun Gong lawsuits in foreign nations rile Beijing
Over the past 18 months, followers of the group banned by the Chinese government as an "evil cult" have filed at least a dozen suits in foreign courts against Chinese officials they accuse of rights abuses. Their biggest target: former president Jiang Zemin (江澤民).

It's the latest tactic in an ongoing, high-profile campaign to draw attention to China's often brutal three-year-old crackdown on the group. If the object is to rile China's leaders, who are protected at home by the Communist Party's political monopoly, it seems to be working.

2. Well...
Our government is too fucking stupid to realise that China and Taiwan have changed a lot since the Trudeau era.
