Selon Danny Schlechter, l’incident de la place Tian’anmen a permis au dirigeant du Parti d’alors, Jiang Zemin, de marquer un point très important dans sa croisade contre le Falun Gong : « Score a big one for Chinese President Jiang Zemin's crusade to "crush" and discredit a growing spiritual movement that continues to resist a state-ordered ban despite the detention of an estimated 50 000 pratictioners and over 250 people reported dead while in government custody. »(en) Danny Schechter, Falun Gong’s Challenge to China : Spiritual Practice or "Evil Cult" ?, Akashic Books, , 287 p.

(en) When All Else Fails: Threats, Forbes, 2/11/2006 : « according to the Fulton County Police Department Incident Report, Asian men stormed the house of the Princeton-educated information technology technician, bound and gagged and beat him, before fleeing with two 16-inch Sony laptop computers, Li’s wallet and yet unknown material from his files. […] Li is a Falun Gong practitioner and a technology specialist employed by the Epoch Times, a Falun Gong-affiliated newspaper that published a highly critical series of essays in a book called Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. […] U.S. citizen Li says he not only maintains the Epoch Times Web site, but also the related Nine Commentaries and CCP renunciation Web sites. […] There is no evidence that the break in at Li’s home is tied to the Chinese government. »

Months of relentless propaganda succeeded in turning public opinion against the group. Over the next year, the scale of imprisonment, torture, and even deaths of Falun Gong practitioners from abuse in custody increased dramatically. »

(en) Wesley J. Smith, « Harry Wu doubts Falun Gong claim but not organ market », National Review, (lire en ligne, consulté le ) : « Dissident Harry Wu doubts Falon Gong claims, but agrees that the organs of executed prisoners are indeed sold in China. He says that some Falon Gong witnesses have refused to meet with him, which is interesting, but may be a matter of fear for safety or other concerns. He claims that he sent in people to look for "concentration camps" holding Falun Gong and came up empty. But this isn't the same as a thorough investigation. Moreover, there is no doubt that Falun Gong are being imprisoned en masse. And it would be almost impossible to witness organ harvesting first hand at an organ procurement hospital. »

In terms of response time, another foreign journalist in Beijing expressed shock that Xinhua was able to release the first report on the incident almost immediately and in English, no less.
