Power PointsThis former government grain clerk is still managing to unnerve China's leaders with his banned Buddhist-inspired religion. Since the 1999 protest at Zhongnanhai, Falungong practitioners have staged sporadic protests in Tiananmen Square, professing devotion to Li's teachings. Not bad for someone apparently in exile in New York.
