“These two independent groups — linked only by national identity and vitality of purpose as well as their common faith in a more benign future for China — include courageous exiled leaders and mainland supporters of the China Democratic Party (CDP), together with the well-organized and intelligent members of the Falun Gong, which boasts more members worldwide than the entire Chinese Communist Party.”
