[People News] On August 13, 2025, an incident that shocked the international community unfolded at Sibelius Park, a well-known tourist destination in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Leung Chun-ying, Vice Chairman of the CPPCC and former Hong Kong Chief Executive, openly intimidated Falun Gong practitioners who were meditating and collecting signatures for a human rights petition.
According to an on-site audio recording obtained by the Falun Dafa Information Center, Leung arrogantly threatened the practitioners, saying: “Once we have your names, we can immediately check them (against surveillance databases) one by one after we return.”
The incident triggered an uproar and widespread attention. Finnish police quickly arrived at the scene to investigate and reaffirmed that Falun Gong practitioners’ activities were protected under the law and must not be interfered with by any organization or individual.
As a senior CCP official, Leung’s brazen intimidation of Falun Gong practitioners abroad highlighted both the CCP’s fear of overseas practitioners spreading the truth and its ongoing schemes to intensify transnational repression.
This event fully exposed the CCP’s shamelessness, thuggish behavior, and malicious intent on the international stage. Meanwhile, Leung Chun-ying’s underground CCP ties and notorious track record once again came under public scrutiny.
Leung Chun-ying Threatens Falun Gong Practitioners in Finland
Sibelius Park, located in Helsinki, is a must-visit attraction bustling with tourists year-round. It is also where local Falun Gong practitioners peacefully demonstrate the exercises, share the goodness of Falun Dafa, and raise awareness of the CCP’s persecution. As volunteers, they also encourage people to “quit the CCP” (withdraw from the Party, Youth League, and Young Pioneers). Rain or shine, practitioners expose the CCP’s brutality with compassion and reason, urging people to recognize its evil nature and avoid becoming its victims when the regime collapses.
At around 2:15 p.m. on August 13, Leung Chun-ying, accompanied by his wife Regina Leung and two men (suspected bodyguards, wearing sunglasses and of imposing build), came across Falun Gong practitioners meditating and distributing information. Leung’s group immediately confronted the practitioners, demanding their names, hometowns, financial backgrounds, and alleged “organizational affiliations.”
Although the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong is already widely recognized internationally—especially after the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the Falun Gong Protection Act on May 5, 2025, condemning crimes such as forced organ harvesting of practitioners—Leung still denied the persecution, dismissing it as “lies.”
Leung’s rhetoric was filled with intimidation and appeared to carry a political mission. He threatened menacingly: “Once we have your names, we can immediately check them (against surveillance databases) one by one after we return.”
When practitioners ignored his unreasonable demands, Leung flew into a rage, shouting: “You don’t dare to say your full name, your surname. You don’t dare to say how much money. You don’t dare to say where the money comes from.”
Meanwhile, his wife, Regina Leung, was busy photographing practitioners with her phone, collecting “evidence” for the CCP.
The practitioners, facing harassment, called the police. Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Leung and his group quickly fled. Shortly afterward, Finnish police arrived, took statements from the practitioners, and confirmed that their activities complied with Finnish law and were legally protected. Police also pledged to increase monitoring of the area to ensure the practitioners would not face further harassment.
Freedom of belief and freedom of speech are cornerstones of Western democratic societies. As a senior CCP official, Leung Chun-ying blatantly violated Falun Gong practitioners’ human rights in Finland, trampled on Finnish law, and breached the nation’s Religious Freedom Act. Furthermore, under Finland’s Criminal Code regarding unlawful threats, if verbal intimidation causes a victim to experience serious fear for their own or others’ safety, the perpetrator may face fines or imprisonment for up to two years.
The CCP Escalates Transnational Repression with New Evidence
Leung Chun-ying’s threatening behavior toward Falun Gong practitioners in Finland is not an isolated incident, but part of the CCP’s broader scheme to escalate its transnational repression against Falun Gong. In recent years, the CCP has intensified its persecution of Falun Gong in the U.S. and across the international community. Its despicable tactics include personal attacks, violent threats, launching propaganda wars and legal battles against Falun Gong and Shen Yun Performing Arts, inciting journalists, online influencers, and agents to openly slander Falun Gong, defame Shen Yun, issue bomb threats to theaters hosting Shen Yun, and initiate frivolous or unlawful lawsuits against Falun Gong practitioners and Shen Yun.
Earlier, an insider from China’s public security apparatus revealed to The Epoch Times that Chen Yixin, the newly appointed Minister of State Security, plotted this overseas escalation of Falun Gong persecution to gain political capital and curry favor with his superiors.
Similarly, on December 5, 2024, legal scholar Yuan Hongbing, based in Australia, disclosed to The Epoch Times that the plan to attack Falun Gong overseas came directly from the top levels of Zhongnanhai.
Leung Chun-ying’s brazen thuggery in Finland, where he openly threatened Falun Gong practitioners, not only violated Finnish law but also served as new evidence of the CCP’s intensifying transnational repression of Falun Gong.
The Secret Behind Leung Chun-ying’s Mysterious Rise
A widely known “secret” is that Leung Chun-ying is a CCP underground member who was promoted to Chief Executive of Hong Kong with the backing of Zeng Qinghong, the second-in-command of Jiang Zemin’s faction.
As early as 1985, at just 31 years old, Leung was appointed by the CCP as an executive member of the “Basic Law Consultative Committee.” Three years later, he succeeded Mao Jun-nian as Secretary-General of the same committee.
In 2012, former CCP underground member Leung Muk-han publicly alleged that Leung Chun-ying was also an underground CCP member. Notably, Leung Muk-han, former chair of the pro-CCP student organization Hok Yau Club, had emigrated to Canada in 1974 and decided to sever ties with the Communist Party.
She explained that under CCP rules, the Secretary-General of the Basic Law Consultative Committee had to be a Party member. Since Mao Jun-nian, Leung’s predecessor, was an underground member, it was certain that Leung Chun-ying was one as well.
Coincidentally, Jin Zhong, chief editor of Open Magazine, also confirmed that a Hong Kong media outlet had interviewed a heavyweight political figure who claimed that former Wen Wei Po editor-in-chief Jin Yaoru had disclosed to him that the “Three Leungs” around Tung Chee-hwa—Leung Chun-ying, Elsie Leung, and Antony Leung—were all CCP members.
Jin added that when a CCP underground member becomes Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, the actual power lies not with the Chief Executive but with the CCP behind him. “He is merely the Party’s agent, a puppet ruling Hong Kong, while the real control rests with the CCP.”
Leung Chun-ying’s Role in Persecuting Falun Gong in Hong Kong
As Zeng Qinghong’s protégé, Leung Chun-ying was fully obedient to Jiang Zemin’s faction within the CCP. Shortly after taking office in 2012, on August 18, the New Tang Dynasty Television’s 5th International Chinese Classical Dance Competition held its Asia-Pacific preliminary round in Hong Kong for the first time. During the event at the Caritas Kowloon Centre, Leung turned a blind eye as the Hong Kong Youth Care Association (a CCP front group under the notorious “610 Office”) deliberately caused violent disruptions outside the venue. Some members even assaulted police officers without being arrested, sparking public outrage.
Throughout his administration, Leung consistently relied on and tolerated triads and the Youth Care Association, along with other CCP-linked violent groups, to suppress Falun Gong and related organizations.
In 2013, Leung personally intervened as Chief Executive, illegally ordering the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to dismantle Falun Gong banners, displays, and other materials at public sites, and requiring the department to report progress to him every three months.
Leung later openly admitted to these acts. In June 2022, on his personal Facebook page, he boasted about suppressing and monitoring local Falun Gong practitioners: “As early as 2013, I instructed the FEHD to confiscate Falun Gong exhibits on government land and required quarterly progress reports.”
It is an observable fact that since Leung became Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, the government’s injustice and persecution of Falun Gong visibly intensified. The Youth Care Association and other CCP-linked groups frequently appeared, behaving like thugs, harassing and assaulting Falun Gong practitioners with impunity, aided by the Hong Kong government and police.
Under Leung’s instructions, the Hong Kong police ignored the violence of these CCP-backed groups while arbitrarily arresting Falun Gong practitioners without evidence.
Already in his seventies, Leung Chun-ying still charges at the forefront of the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong, willingly acting as the Party’s henchman. He even went as far as traveling to Finland to openly intimidate Falun Gong practitioners, putting on a vile and despicable performance before the international community. This only serves to highlight the CCP’s shamelessness and evil, allowing the world to clearly see its ugly, demonic face—and hastening the regime’s downfall.
The Way of Heaven Brings Retribution—Can Leung Chun-ying and His Wife Awaken?
During his tenure, Leung Chun-ying wreaked havoc in Hong Kong—undermining freedom of speech and belief, trampling on democracy and human rights, and not only intensifying tensions with the pro-democracy camp, but also rapidly worsening relations between the police and the public. His governance sparked a series of social protests, including the controversy over the Moral and National Education curriculum (a citywide movement against “brainwashing”), the Umbrella Movement for genuine universal suffrage (“Let Love and Peace Occupy Central”), and the 2016 Mong Kok unrest during Chinese New Year.
As the saying goes, “Good and evil will be repaid; Heaven’s way is a cycle. Look up, and see—has Heaven ever spared anyone?”
Leung, who committed countless misdeeds and left behind a notorious record, faced repeated impeachment attempts in the Legislative Council. His corruption scandal—accepting HK$50 million from Australian company UGL—fueled public outrage and mass protests, cementing his disgrace in the eyes of Hongkongers.
Meanwhile, scandals within his family repeatedly came to light.
On October 1, 2014, his younger daughter, Leung Chai-yan, posted a picture of her bulky necklace on Facebook and bluntly declared that her beautiful clothes, shoes, and jewelry were all bought with Hong Kong taxpayers’ money. The remark ignited a public firestorm.
Earlier that year, on June 25, she shocked society by posting photos online suggesting wrist-cutting and self-harm. Leung later responded that he wanted to give his daughter space, but Chai-yan revealed in a media interview that after she posted those photos, her father forced her and her mother to pose together at Hyde Park—something she derided as “a clumsy PR stunt.” She admitted that she had self-harmed more than once.
On November 1, 2015, during Halloween celebrations in Lan Kwai Fong, Central, she reportedly lost control of her emotions and argued with a taxi driver. Her mother, Regina Tong, rushed to the scene but was unfortunately slapped by Chai-yan.
On the evening of April 8, 2025, Leung Chai-yan suddenly passed away at the age of 33. On April 9, Leung Chun-ying posted on Facebook: “Chai-yan is gone. She left very suddenly, without leaving a single word. She was just lying peacefully in bed. Only a few days ago, she had gone on her own to get a flu shot.”
Evil deeds often bring calamity upon one’s family. The white-haired now must bury the black-haired. Sadly, rather than awakening from such a devastating blow, Leung and his wife have only grown more zealous, throwing themselves more openly into persecuting Falun Gong—even taking their role as human rights villains to the international stage, wielding the CCP’s knife against practitioners.
