China's Xinhua News Agency published a signed article by Guang Ming Tuesday denouncing Falun Gong and the latest fallacies from cult leader Li Hongzhi in spreading the cult in North America.

The author used a large number of facts and figures, and claimed that the cult was already responsible for the deaths of over 1,700 people, revealing the true nature of Falun Gong.

Li Hongzhi began to use new deceitful tricks at beginning of this year. The article pointed out that the true skill and power of Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong was to cause death.

The author stated that Li Hongzhi had said, "Many thing were the arrangements by old order," words he used to deify himself and deceive others.

Malicious fallacies were the one "great skill" of Li Hongzhi. He fabricated an "evil axis in China" to instigate foreigners to cause trouble in China.

Li Hongzhi was afraid that his followers would abandon him. He knew very clearly that his deceit could not last and many of his followers already doubted his fallacies.

The author also noted that Li Hongzhi feared that people, including those with anti-Chinese intent, had seen clearly the true essence of Falun Gong -- a cult which was cruelly responsible for the deaths of many people.

The only way for Li Hongzhi to struggle from his trapped situation was deceit. He had even asked his followers how to deceive people.

But he remained disappointed. He had betrayed his native country and no one would believe in him and his cult.

The author stressed that all cults were doomed throughout China's long history and the same would befall Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong.
