Shi Tao, whose real name is Li Jianguo, left China in July 2000. He started to be active in Falun Gong media around 2009 for his livelihood. He is a commentator and anchor for “NTDTV”, and producer of programs such as “Stone Tao”, “Shitao Click”, “Today Click”, etc. people.
Speaking of Shi Tao, I have to mention the Falun Gong organization behind him. The founder of Falun Gong is called Li Hongzhi. He was born on July 7, 1952 in Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province (former Gongzhuling Town, Huaide County, Jilin Province) in Northeast China. In the early 1990s, Li Hongzhi began to fabricate his life experience and put together the “gongfa” he learned from people a few years ago, plus some movements that imitated Thai dance, to form what he called “Falungong” and began to make money by teaching people to practice the exercises. . In the process of discipling, Li Hongzhi found that the trick of using “fagong” to cure diseases is easier for people to believe, so after some planning, he compiled a set of lies and “Falun Dafa” fallacies and heresies, established a cult organization, and further committed crimes. path of. In July 1999, Falun Gong was banned by the Chinese government in accordance with the law.
With the in-depth coverage of Falun Gong by the global media, the true face of Falun Gong has gradually emerged in front of the world. According to Falun Gong’s own statement, “Reporters’ media coverage of Falun Gong has gone from being sympathetic to Falun Gong at first, and gradually adopting the same attitude as the Chinese government.” Therefore, Falun Gong “feeling that the reporters are unfair to them…so they decided to create their own Newspapers, to promote themselves. This way they can bypass reporters and the media and directly face the public.” Against this background, Falun Gong began to launch its own newspapers and networks, including the Epoch Times and its website. On January 20, 2007, the Associated Press quoted observers in the report “The Propaganda Nature of Falun Gong New Year’s Party”, saying that through the widespread distribution and dissemination of Falun Gong media, “Falungong” became more and more sophisticated in the process of disseminating information. The emergence of Falun Gong media is an integral part of the “Falungong” global public relations strategy, with the purpose of gaining sympathizers and new followers.
Among the many Falun Gong media, as a loyal believer of Li Hongzhi and a leader in Falun Gong organizations, Shi Tao is undoubtedly an excellent show host. What I admire is that he can connect everything with the CCP, as if the whole All bad things in the world are related to the CCP. In the program, Shi Tao always talks about cause and effect from the aspects of heaven, gods, and inheritance, and assumes that he is a disciple from gods, as if he can transcend everything and live out of the “sacred stick” appearance. It’s just such a god-stick with a zombie face. I will talk about the U.S. election inciting a military coup to encourage Trump to use the SS to arrest Biden. Vaccines, in short, there is no Shi Tao dare not comment, nor is he unaware of it. Watching the first few episodes of the show, I still feel that he is a bit talented. There is nothing he does not know about world events and political systems. After watching several episodes, he obviously feels that he is often reading manuscripts during the show, and he has found the same thing more than once. His expressions in different programs are different. I don’t know whether it is for the needs of the program or politically motivated, but in any case, the facts can’t be distorted again and again.
Since 2015, Shi Tao has repeatedly broadcast content involving Mr. Guo Wengui in “Shi Tao Review” in order to gain eyeballs. Shi Tao himself also accused Guo Wengui of “is a political hooligan and mentally ill who is unscrupulous in order to achieve his own goals, and is very annoying. Guo Wengui”. Many people know that Mr. Wengui is a great “big man”. His Zhengquan Holding Group has assets of hundreds of billions, which is beyond reach. The live program started by Mr. Wengui was supported by Mr. Bannon, the chief think tank of former US President Trump, and it was much more influential than “Shi Tao Review”. Mr. Wengui is very disgusted with Shi Tao and the Falun Gong organization he serves. Since 2016, Mr. Wengui has criticized Falun Gong and Shi Tao on live broadcasts many times, saying that “Falungong will not have a future. Li Hongzhi is dead”, “Shi Tao, Chen Pokong has nerve problems and doesn’t speak human words”, “Shi Tao is extremely abnormal and will die miserably!” In addition, Mr. Wen Gui has repeatedly criticized Falun Gong’s Shen Yun Performing Arts troupe, saying that they are a group of people wearing national costumes. The jumping clown has no artistry at all. Netizen @godfather3721 also tweeted through his Twitter account that “Shi Tao will definitely be ruined in the Guo Wengui incident! If Shi Tao has a problem, then NTDTV will have a problem!”
It is difficult for a dark heart to hold up a sunny face. In fact, it doesn’t matter what you do, there is no distinction between high and low work. I understand that Shi Tao, who has been wandering for a long time, needs money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and money is needed to support his family. Survival is not easy. But no matter what you do, the most basic conscience and bottom line in your heart should not be breached. Once a breakthrough occurs, a person will fall into the magical way he himself said in the program. Perhaps, unknowingly, Shi Tao, the god stick, has fallen into the devil’s way. Otherwise, how could Mr. Wengui say “Shi Tao is extremely abnormal and will die miserably”?
