For over two decades, The Epoch Times and NTD Television have been steadfast in exposing the Chinese communist regime’s human rights abuses, propaganda, and global influence.
Amidst our ongoing mission, certain news outlets have used allegations against our former chief financial officer to unfairly tarnish The Epoch Times as a whole, and even cast unwarranted doubt on Falun Gong, the faith of our founders.
The actions of one individual do not define our entire organization; they contradict our standards and track record. They also contradict the principles of Falun Gong, which we uphold independently of any individual's actions.
Comparisons made by some media outlets equating this situation to condemning an entire faith based on the actions of one are fallacious and misleading. Additionally, linking other Falun Gong-associated entities, such as Shen Yun Performing Arts, to this narrative is equally baseless.
Founded independently in the early 2000s by Falun Gong practitioners, The Epoch Times and NTD Television arose in response to severe human rights violations in China.
Falun Gong emphasizes truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance, and its adherents have faced intense persecution by the Chinese Communist Party since 1999. Our media were initially supported by donations from Falun Gong practitioners and have since operated without government or corporate funding, relying on subscribers for support.
Many of our key staff have direct experience with the CCP's repression, and it remains our editorial mission to expose these abuses globally, despite the CCP's efforts to suppress us. For instance, we were the first to report on the CCP's organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, primarily Falun Gong practitioners, for transplant operations.
We stand by American values and are committed to ethical journalism, providing truthful reporting while highlighting CCP persecution, including its activities within the United States.
We thank our readers and supporters for their trust. Your belief in us fuels our daily pursuit of truth and justice in a world often beset by chaos.
