Internal Chinese source leaks details from Minister of Public Security video conference on next steps to target Falun Gong in the United States
On December 11, a group of overseas researchers tracking the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) repression of Falun Gong practitioners published new information from internal CCP sources. The leaks contain notes from a recent video conference that was chaired by Chinese Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong. They outline emerging plans and tactics in carrying forward an intensified campaign targeting Falun Gong overseas and especially in the United States, with the explicit goal being to “sabotage the relationship between Falun Gong and the United States” and pressure U.S. government agencies to “stop supporting Falun Gong.” Tactics cited include calls to activate agents within the Falun Gong community to either speak publicly against Falun Gong or convince existing practitioners to ‘break with Falun Gong” and then speak publicly to expose alleged “dark secrets” of Falun Gong. The notes make several references to providing “donations” or financial assistance to those aiding the CCP, including to Falun Gong practitioners who “convert” and speak out against the Falun Gong community.

California Man arrested for acting as illegal Chinese agent also targeted Falun Gong
Yaoning “Mike” Sun was indicted in California for acting as an illegal agent of the PRC. While some of the charges against him focus on his role trying to influence local politics and elections in Southern California, the indictment also includes multiple references to Sun’s work to “fight” against Falun Gong practitioners and stymie their public activities. Sun worked closely John Chen, who was sentenced to prison in November for trying to bribe an IRS official into revoking Shen Yun’s non-profit tax-exempt status. According to the criminal complaint filed on December 17, 2024, Chen reportedly told a cellmate that he had been serving as a Chinese agent in the United States for two decades, working for the CCP’s “610 office,” an extralegal police task force responsible for carrying out the mission of eliminating Falun Gong. Over many years, the two men conspired and acted to combat “Falun Gong influences” in California, while receiving funding from Chinese officials (Chen bragged of receiving $52,000 per month from the “610 Office”) and maintaining contact with the local Chinese consulate.
The Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office said in a press release:
“This case highlights the breadth of the PRC’s relentless intelligence and malign influence activities targeting the United States. The FBI will continue to use all the tools at its disposal to identify PRC intelligence operations, disrupt PRC information laundering networks, and bring to justice those who seek to engage in criminal conspiracies to undermine the integrity of our elected officials.”

False Bomb Threat Prompts French Police to Disrupt Preparation for Shen Yun Performance
An anonymous bomb threat was sent to police in Dijon, France on February 3 targeting a Shen Yun performance that evening. The police suddenly arrived at the theater at 6:40pm before an 8:00pm show and evacuated performers and staff as they checked for explosives, which following the pattern of these false threats, were not found. However, performers and staff were required to stand outside the theater in the cold for one hour, returning only at 7:40pm and delaying the start of the performance until 8:45pm. A similar threat had reportedly been sent to the theater several days earlier, but no disruption to the schedule was planned given the theater’s awareness of the trend of false threats.

Anonymous Messages Impersonate Chinese dissident, Taiwanese Vice President and Threaten Members of Congress who Support Falun Gong
Two messages sent in Chinese in early February included death threats to Members of Congress and Dragon Springs, Shen Yun’s headquarters and home to its training facilities. The messages were sent using the contact form of the website FalunDafa.org, which hosts information about Falun Gong teachings and exercise instructions. The first message, sent on February 2, attempted to impersonate Chinese dissident Chen Poking and requested a ransom of 18 million dollars, stating that otherwise, “I will make Dragon Springs Temple and the U.S. Congress covered with dead bodies everywhere.” The second message, sent on February 3, entered the name of Taiwan’s Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao as the sender and said:
Subject: We do not rule out attacking Congressional members who support Falun Gong Bombs will be installed and detonated at or near these Congressional members' residents or in their vehicles!
The Falun Dafa Information Center has informed law enforcement of the threats.
