Not really, even fanatics can tell the truth about oppression.

...can anything discredit a source more than what I linked??

"Led by Li Hongzhi, who is viewed by adherents as a deity-like figure, Falun Gong practitioners operate a variety of organizations in the United States and elsewhere, including the dance troupe Shen Yun.[14][15] They are known for their opposition to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), espousing anti-evolutionary views, opposition to homosexuality and feminism, and rejection of modern medicine, among other views described as "ultra-conservative".[16][24]"

of course it's possible, but they have no credibility at all

It obviously makes them look like clowns, wich they are, however in the great scheme of thing's regarding China this claim fits not just right in but also is backed by several other things like that China is testing drugs and possibly bio weapons in their concentration camps
