Since 2001, Chinese authorities have expanded their brutal persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual practice to Russian soil.

The timeline below looks at more than 40 instances where Russian authorities, under pressure from communist China, have illegally infringed on the freedoms of Russian citizens who practice Falun Gong.
It also covers how current and former Chinese leaders, including Bo Xilai, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and others, signed lucrative trade deals with Russia.
