The resurgence of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) in China is mainly targeting top officials of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to the founder of the Falun Gong spiritual practice.

Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi told the Epoch Times on Aug. 26 that the latest EG5 strain is directed at the CCP and those who blindly follow, defend and give their lives to it. He said: “When humans become corrupt in their hearts, they will generate karma, fall sick and suffer calamities.”
“A pandemic like the current [one] … has come with a purpose and with a target. It has come to eliminate the followers of the evil [CCP] and those who go along with [it].”
The Falun Gong founder advised people to “stay far away from the evil CCP and don’t align with [it]. Because what lies behind it is the red demon. Its behavior and actions are thuggish, and it stops at no evil.”
Li’s remarks came more than three years after the city of Wuhan in China’s central Hubei province became the ground zero of the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease recently returned to the mainland, with infections fueled by the EG5 strain. Many top-ranking CCP members are suffering and dying from the disease, despite their special access to medical care and drugs that ordinary Chinese citizens cannot reach.
Dozens of Chinese officials, senior executives, prominent academics and scientists – some in their 20s and 30s – have succumbed to the latest COVID-19 wave. Recent obituaries of prominent figures published by Chinese media, state-owned entities and universities have highlighted their CCP affiliations.
This wasn’t the first time Li commented on the COVID-19 pandemic in China. In January, he disclosed that more than 400 million have died in the communist country and that the CCP has been covering up the true situation in China. In March 2020, Li said plagues are inevitable when moral values deteriorate.
Zero-COVID had disastrous outcome for the mainland
“Over the past three-and-a-half years, the world has learned to live with the virus. China’s ruling regime [meanwhile] aggressively pursued its draconian ‘zero-COVID’ campaign aimed at eliminating every potential case,” the Epoch Times noted. (Related: Zero-COVID policy having severe effects on Chinese economy.)
“In China, almost everyone has joined a [CCP-affiliated] organization at some point in their life. Demonstration of loyalty to the [CCP] is a necessary condition for holding a position of authority.”
One cannot help but wonder if the events in China serve as just desserts for the CCP’s oppression of Falun Gong adherents. The discipline, rooted in traditional Chinese beliefs on moral and spiritual development, gained an estimated 100 million adherents in China by 1999.
But the Chinese government under then-paramount leader Jiang Zemin ordered a violent persecution of Falun Gong adherents, fearing that its popularity could outshine that of the CCP. Succeeding leaders have continued this persecution, causing the deaths of an untold number of practitioners. Under current paramount leader Xi Jinping, Falun Gong adherents are often imprisoned and subjected to organ harvesting.
U.S.-based analyst Heng He asserted that China’s COVID-19 death toll vastly exceeds that of any other country during the height of the pandemic. He also noted that throughout China’s history, natural disasters have tended to surge around a time when the nation was experiencing a dynastic change.
“In traditional Chinese culture, there’s a prevalent belief that disasters are a reflection of the state of morality,” Heng said, citing an instance during the 1640s.
Bubonic plague hit the reigning Ming Dynasty at the time, wiping out hundreds of thousands of people and contributing to the collapse of the dynasty. The epidemic disappeared when the Manchus took over and ushered in the Qing Dynasty, the last imperial era.
According to Heng, the current situation in China mirrors this historic example. “The CCP’s rule, from what I see, is approaching its end,” Heng said.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
