Nearly 10,000 Falun Gong Practitioners Press Criminal Charges against Jiang Zemin

According to Minghui.org (whose English version is en.minghui.org), between May 27 and June 18, the Minghui website editors received copies of criminal complaints that had been filed by 9,748 Falun Gong practitioners in China and other countries.  
These 9,748 practitioners filed suit against Jiang Zemin the former head of the Chinese Communist Party. The complaints came from more than 1,400 counties and cities. They were from 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China, as well as from the United States, Canada, Australia, France, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea. The top five provinces in China where the persecution of Falun Gong is most severe, including Hebei, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, and Shandong also saw the most practitioners filing lawsuits against Jiang.
Background: In 1999, Jiang Zemin, as head of the Chinese Communist Party, overrode other Politburo standing committee members and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong. Over the past 16 years, the persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners. More have been tortured and many families have been broken apart. Under Jiang’s personal direction, the Chinese Communist Party established an extralegal security organ, the “610 Office,” so named for having been formed on June 10, 1999. The organization’s authority overrides the police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang’s directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
Chinese law allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.

Global Times: S&ED Should Pave the Way for Xi Jinping’s Visit to the U.S.

Prior to this month’s China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED), Global Times, which is affiliated with People’s Daily, published an editorial outlining Beijing’s goals in the current round of dialogue. 

To begin with, the S&ED should pave the way for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to the US in September. As a major event concerning Sino-US relations and the last chance for talks during a state visit within Obama’s tenure, the visit will set the tone and lay a foundation for bilateral relations in the post-Obama era. 
Second, both China and the US need to cool the heated issues between the two through this high-level comprehensive dialogue. At the top of the agenda should be the South China Sea issue and cyber security. 
In addition, the S&ED should be used to abate strategic mutual distrust. 
Last, both countries should strive for a breakthrough in setting rules for economic cooperation. 
This is the first time [from the historic perspective] that China deals with the No. 1 power in the world to manage the relations of two powers. We cannot be that certain whether how much the potential harm would be to China based on the other side’s preventative measures and "containment." Nor are we too clear whether the mistruct between China and the US is something that can be solved, or it is something that is bound to exist between major powers, and thus has to be accepted and managed. We cannot even be sure whether the US irrational reaction to China’s rise can be resolved with reasoning, or it can only be handled through compitition based on strength.
