One of Xi's first actions was to take over the Jiang's illegal [[610 Office]] which was charged with procuring involuntary organ donors from Falun Gong practitioners for the CCP's budding organ transplant industry. Jiang and the 85 million-member CCP viewed the 100 million Falun Gong movement, a revival of traditional Chinese culture and morals in direct competition with the values of the CCP which [[New China]] tirelessly has attempted to stomp out in the [[Cultural Revolution]] and [[Tiananmen massacre]], and began a policy of [[genocide]] and intimidation. Xi took over the illegal internal police structure, changed its name, and expanded the 610 Office's use against regime opponents and internal dissenters.

Xi's rise largely is the result of the 2012 Bo Xilai affair. Bo is the "[[Bernie Sanders]] of China", a corrupt kleptocrat and supposed advocate for the poor and oppressed. Bo was a member of the [[Politburo]] and candidate to the seven-member Standing Committee. A Jiang flunky, Bo was mayor of Dalian City in Liaoning Province in 1999 when the roundup Falun Gong began, and steadily rose in ranks for the next decade.  As Governor, Dalian City and Liaoning Province, arrest and kidnappings of Falun Gong was more intense than in many other areas of China.<ref>http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2012/4/26/132920.htmlM</ref>

Like in American politics, scandals and coverups often take a different narrative than true underlying facts. Bo, a "reformer and corruption fighter", was removed and prosecuted on corruption charges after his wife and the deputy mayor were convicted of murder of a [[British]] citizen;<ref>The 2012 Bo Xilai Affair highlighted the degree to which the families of top Party officials were able to parlay access to political power into vast personal wealth.

This system is rooted in Beijing’s interpretation of [[Marxist-Leninist]] ideology and combines a nationalistic, [[single party control|single party dictatorship]]; a state-directed economy; deployment of science and technology in the service of the state; and the subordination of individual rights to serve CCP ends.

This runs counter to principles shared by the United States and many likeminded countries of representative government, [[free enterprise]], and the inherent dignity and worth of every individual.

One disastrous outgrowth of such an approach to governance is Beijing’s policies in [[Xinjiang]], where since 2017, authorities have detained more than a million [[Uighur]]s and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in indoctrination camps, where many endure forced labor, ideological indoctrination, and physical and psychological abuse.

Outside these camps, the regime has instituted a [[police state]] employing emerging technologies such as [[artificial intelligence]] and biogenetics to monitor ethnic minorities’ activities to ensure allegiance to the CCP. Widespread [[religious]] persecution – of [[Christian]]s, [[Tibet]]an [[Buddhist]]s, [[Muslim]]s, and members of [[Falun Gong]] – includes the demolition and desecration of places of worship, arrests of peaceful believers, forced renunciations of faith, and prohibitions on raising children in traditions of [[faith]].
