lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, China is on the agenda once again. Yet, I doubt that this introduction will be enough to make Parliament realise that there is a crisis in China, that this typical Communist regime is, most tragically, turning into a National Communist regime and that this presents a risk now, and in the future, to security in Asia and the rest of the world. Today, the people of China, Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China have no freedom of religion or conscience. In particular, the Falun Gong movement and other groups have been subjected to repression on a par with that seen during the Cultural Revolution. Already 500 000 people have been arrested, more than 150 people have died in prison, usually after having been torture. What I am describing here is the situation now, not the situation during the Cultural Revolution. Parliament has a duty to take an extremely firm stance. The resolution is a good text. I would particularly like to thank Mrs Malmström, who played an instrumental role in this task. The members of the Group of the Party of European Socialists are certainly not aware of an incident which in another, less tragic, context might be considered amusing. At the meeting to discuss the compromise, one of the members of the Group of the Party of European Socialists recommended that Falun Gong be excluded from this resolution, asserting that it was something other than a religion. Freedom of religion and freedom of conscience are part of the same concept and each of us must define it."@en1
