...Communist Party's most ingenious weapon has been its "responsibility system." According to an internal party document seen by TIME, for each protester who reaches Beijing, "all levels of government leaders, police, neighborhood cadres, work units and family members must receive punishment." Bosses face fines or demotions when their workers protest. Worse, police officers face heavier penalties for allowing people under their watch to demonstrate than for beating them to death...
Although foreign companies often provide havens for practitioners, many comply with the authorities' demands. Indiana-based Cummins Inc., for example, followed government orders to investigate workers at its Beijing engine factory and issued a document to the police stating that nobody practiced Falun Gong. Had it found Falun Gong followers, says a company spokesman, "the government would have wanted us to report them, so we would have [done so]." Nor is Cummins alone.

But the deaths shook his faith in the movement. "It's wrong for people...

For each believer who reaches Beijing to carry out a protest?and some have come vast distances from the countryside?"all levels of government leaders, police, neighborhood cadres, work units and family members must receive punishment," according to a Communist Party document seen by TIME. This lets the party evade a simple arithmetic problem: it never had enough jails or police to handle the tens of millions of people who are claimed to have once practiced Falun Gong. Instead, it enlists ordinary people to help find practitioners and discipline them. Bosses face...
