As January 20 approaches, President Trump‘s four-year term in office will come to an end. With evidence of election fraud, a deliberate smear campaign by the mainstream media, a blockade of social media platforms, and even a second impeachment by Democrats, President Trump must have a lot on his mind.
On January 8, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo gave a speech to former administration officials. He spoke of the “tremendous coalition” the Trump administration has built against the Chinese Communist Party in the world. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we’ll be well remembered in the future when those accomplishments are written in history,” he said.
Pompeo counted President Trump’s successes in building a safety net, promoting peace in the Middle East and global foreign policy, including withdrawing from the World health Organization and the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, “We are working every day to make America and the world safer and more prosperous.
In fact, the world should have noticed that the promotion of freedom of faith is one of President Trump’s major achievements.
In 1998, the United States passed the International Religious Freedom Act (IRF Act), legislation designed to promote religious freedom as a matter of U.S. foreign policy, to promote greater religious freedom internationally, and to be a voice for those who suffer persecution. “This is a landmark piece of legislation,” Pompeo said in a statement on International Religious Freedom Day last October 27. “Religious freedom is a cherished American value, a fundamental freedom and an inalienable human right,” and “we will not stand idly by while people are killed, imprisoned, harassed or tortured for their faith.
Shortly after taking office, President Trump set out to reverse the current anti-faith situation in the United States and signed a presidential executive order in 2017 to promote freedom of speech and freedom of belief. The executive order stated that “the executive branch should fully enforce the strong protections of federal law for freedom of faith.”
In 2019, President Trump proclaimed January 16 as National Religious Freedom Day, saying, “The right to freedom of religious belief is tied to the fundamental dignity of every person and is the foundation for the pursuit of truth. He called on the United States to protect the tradition of freedom of faith at home and around the world, “where people are persecuted for their beliefs by authoritarian governments and terrorist groups.”
On July 17, 2019, President Trump met with twenty-seven survivors of religious persecution from seventeen countries in the Oval Office of the White House, including Ms. Zhang Yuhua, a Falun Gong practitioner from Nanjing, who asked President Trump to help stop the persecution.
Zhang Yuhua’s husband, Ma Zhenyu, was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party for a long time because he did not renounce his belief in “Truth, Compassion and Forbearance. Zhang Yuhua was illegally reeducated through labor three times and sentenced once, losing her freedom for seven and a half years. In the detention center, she was forced to run for long hours in the hot sun, punished by standing and deprived of sleep, etc.
President Trump told Ms. Zhang Yuhua repeatedly, “I understand. In America, we always understand that our rights come from God, not from the government.” Trump also told those present who have been persecuted for their faith, “You have suffered more than most people can bear. I am honored to be with you, and I will always stand alongside you.”
The Trump administration promotes the idea that “we don’t worship the government, we worship God.” “We are all made by God. His cabinet is committed to the founding principles of the United States, including sincere faith, moral discipline, hard work and self-sufficiency, family ethics, and the protection of human rights.
On January 7 and the following day, Pompeo sent out several tweets emphasizing that “freedom of faith is at the heart of our nationhood. He said the right to freedom of religion is a moral and national security imperative, and that where there is no freedom of religion, terrorism and violence will increase.
Freedom of religion and belief is a fundamental right granted to citizens under the Chinese Constitution. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has always been authoritarian and totalitarian, trampling on the law, destroying basic human rights and killing freedom of worship. On April 28 last year, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released its annual “Global Religious Freedom Report,” in which it stated For the twenty-first consecutive year, China has been listed as a “country of special concern” due to the Communist Party’s severe persecution of faith, which is “the worst of the worst.
“After the outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia, the epidemic spread worldwide. Under the epidemic, the Chinese Communist Party continued to persecute Falun Gong, killing more than 80 people, “zeroing out,” kidnapping, torture, illegal blood sampling, and illegal sentencing throughout China. For people in the free world, it is not easy to understand why “belief in Falun Gong” would innocently lead to “persecution by the regime,” even after 21 years of persecution that has not stopped.
According to a report by Minghui.com, in 2020, at least 622 Falun Gong practitioners were illegally sentenced to prison and 88 were persecuted to death. In addition, 6,659 people were kidnapped, 8,576 people were harassed, 537 people were imprisoned in brainwashing classes, 122 people were displaced from their homes, and 3,588 people were raided. The persecution was carried out in 304 cities in 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government on the mainland. 1188 elderly Falun Gong practitioners over the age of 65 were abducted and harassed, 17 were over 90 years old, and the oldest was 94 years old.
With the widespread dissemination of the truth, the international community, including the parliaments of the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Taiwan, has made dozens of proposals over the years to continue to raise the call for justice against the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong. These calls for solidarity to stop the persecution, regardless of boundaries, signify that the fight against the persecution has been deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of people, and convey the true voice of mainstream public opinion worldwide.
Respect for freedom of faith and the protection of basic human rights are universal values to which contemporary civilized nations adhere. As of December 10, 2020, International Human Rights Day, 897 politicians from 35 countries and across party lines have signed a petition condemning the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party and demanding that the Chinese Communist Party immediately stop the persecution.
On January 7, the Rasmussen Reports released new data showing that President Trump’s approval rating rose from 45 percent before Christmas to a record high of 51 percent after the January 6 “Stop the Steal” protests in Washington, D.C. The Rasmussen Reports is one of the nation’s most important and important publications. Rasmussen Reports is one of the most objective pollsters in the United States and one of the few that accurately predicted the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Even though the January 6 congressional certification results were unfavorable to Trump, they apparently failed to weaken public support for Trump.
Moreover, the Gallup poll shows that President Trump is the most admired person in the United States in 2020, beating out former President Barack Obama, who has dominated for 12 consecutive years. The annual “Most Admired Person of the Year” survey, released at the end of each year, was conducted from December 1 to 17 among adults 18 and older living in the United States, with presumptive president-elect Joe Biden receiving only 6 percent.
The two latest polls show that the American people are not letting the apparent election “results” detract from their support for President Trump. It is clear that traditional values and belief in God, and resistance to socialism and communism are what make President Trump appealing to voters, and are the main reasons for his popularity with the American public. Polls have already revealed the direction of public opinion: defending traditional values and adhering to the concept of faith in God.
The book “The Devil Rules Our World” makes it clear that socialism in the West, by ignoring value judgments, is tantamount to denying morality itself. Therefore all kinds of words and actions that violate God and blaspheme God constitute reverse discrimination against the God-believing and morally noble group, and ultimately want to wipe out the group that represents positive values.
Evil will not prevail, and the truth will eventually unravel the fog. Freedom of belief is a natural human right, and “truth, goodness and tolerance” are universal values. President Trump’s efforts to promote the concept of belief in God and freedom of faith, to set things right, and to fight against the Chinese Communist Party are enough to make this “most traditional American president in 40 years” go down in history. The fact that people in mainland China today are deprived of their freedom of faith and basic human rights by the Chinese Communist Party is a tragedy for all Chinese people, and it also reflects the respect and preciousness of President Trump’s “representation of positive values.
