I would say that in my experience the ordinary Chinese person is somewhat suppressed by what is taking place with Falun Gong, because when I see Chinese people coming abroad to Canada or the U.S., sometimes if you simply talk with them or discuss with them the issue of organ harvesting or the persecution of Falun Gong, they're afraid. They avoid the topic; they don't want to take a flyer; they don't want to look at the material. I believe that fear is not because they don't want to know; it's because they fear they will be subject to some type of persecution when they return. So I do believe it's having the effect of suppressing their own people.
