So why is it sometimes called Falun Gong and sometimes Falun Dafa?

When I saw them marching around in Korea their banner said Falun Dafa. But I hear Falun Gong from western sources more often.

Falun dafa is their ideological tenets so like their "mein kampf" so to speak.

Falun gong is their "meditation" cult practices used to lure people into their cult so like tai chi or yoga but with thetan testing thrown in

well it depends if you think the ccp is purposefully creating an incompetent opposition or the CIA is characteristically bungling an incompetent opposition.

There's no opposition to the CCP, it's a one-party state. Why would the CCP try to run a fake cult that recruits tens of millions of Chinese who actually believe the CCP is satan incarnate?

cia.gov is the actual official CIA website. without actually looking it up, I assume someone made a spoof of the CIA website and used to phish info.

this shows the hypocrisy of the west and it's "free-market" doctrine

markets are "free"....until the need come to suppress the rise of a socialist enterprises guided by party committees capable of competing with western rent-seeking, capitalist firms. Then they need to protect their consumers from superior products and force them to buy piles of poo poo designed in the west.

ironically, this might actually help speed-up its transition towards having a larger domestic consumption market, thus the capitalists unwittingly help President Xi's agenda

lol dumb western "leftist" take:

"we just need to election a "socialist" in rigged bourgeois parliamentary election and then socialism will build itself! No need to work hard or build socialist enterprises!"

smart chinese socialist take:

"once the dictatorship of the proletariat is achieved, we need to follow our party, work hard to build our own socialist businesses to advance the productive forces and move our society closer to communism!"

no wonder western so-called "socialism" (really bourgeois social democracy) continue to fail while Socialism with Chinese characteristics rises
