RESEARCH IN THIS AREA, WHICH IS REFERRED TO AS THE HUMAN BODY SCIENCES IN CHINA, HAS BEEN AIDED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THREE RESEARCH CENTERS ESPECIALLY EQUIPPED AND STAFFED FOR THE RESEARCH OF QIGONG AND OTHER PHENOMENA. TEXT: 1. (U) CHINA HAS RECENTLY STARTED THE HUMAN BODY SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (STC 0086 7555 4430 1331 4282 4496 0022 1800), THE HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER (0086 7555 1562 4453 1331 4282 4496 0022 1800), AND THE CHINESE QIGONG SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (STC 0022 0948 3051 0501 4430 1331 4282 4496 0022 1800). ALSO,-A 3-YEAR COURSE ON HUMAN ENGINEERING HAS BEEN STARTED AT SHENZHEN | UNIVERSITY. CHINA RECENTLY ANNOUNCED SEVEN RESEARCH PROJECTS - RELATED TO THE HUMAN BODY SCIENCES, ESPECIALLY QIGONG AND OTHER EXTRAORDINARY CAPABILITIES. . 2. (U) A JULY 1988 CHINESE SOURCE (ZDB, P. 1) REPORTED THE ESTABLISHMENT ON 25 JUNE 1988 OF A HUMAN BODY SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER AT THE NATIONAL DEFENSE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY, CHANGSHA//GEOCOORD:2812N/11258E//. THIS CENTER'S DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE ONES FOR SPACE, ELECTRONICS, APPLIED PHYSICS, AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING RESEARCH, STAFFED BY DOZENS OF SPECIALISTS AND SCHOLARS. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ((TAN)) SHUSHENG (STC 6223 5002 3932) OF THE APPLIED PHYSICS DEPARTMENT WAS APPOINTED DIRECTOR OF THE NEW FACILITY, WHICH USES THE MOST CURRENT SCIENTIFIC THEORIES AND EMPLOYS ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC.

(U) ACCORDING TO OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER CHINESE SOURCES (TKP, P. 5; WHB, P. 1), A HUMAN 80DY ENGINEERING COURSE AND A HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER (STC 0086 7555 1562 4453 1331 4282 4496 0022 1800) HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED WITHIN THE HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AT SHENZHKN UNIVERSITY, SHENZHEN//GEOCOORD: 2232N/ 11408E//. A. (U) A 3-YEAR COURSE IN HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING IS EXPECTED TO EDUCATE TALENTED PERSONNEL FOR A HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER WHICH IS DESIGNED TO BE CHINA'S CENTER OF RESEARCH ON EXTRAORDINARY CAPABILITIES OF THE HUMAN BODY. IN 1988 THE COURSE ACCEPTED ITS FIRST STUDENTS, AGED 16 TO 30, FROM ACROSS THE NATION (TKP REPORTED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS AS 16; WHB REPORTED THE NUMBER AS 20). ALL STUDENTS HAVE EITHER DEMONSTRATED SOME SPECIAL ABILITY OR HAVE BEEN LEARNING QIGONG. THE CURRICULA INCLUDE A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE ANQ WESTERN MEDICINES, THE YIJING (STC 2496 4842) (THE BOOK OF CHANGES, ONE OF THE FIVE CHINESE CLASSICS), BAGUA (STC 0360 0597) (THE EIGHT DIAGRAMS, EIGHT COMBINATIONS OF THREE WHOLE OR BROKEN LINES USED IN DIVINATION), COMPUTERS, AND QIGONG. B. (U) THE PRECURSOR TO THE HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER WAS THE QIGONG RESEARCH CENTER ESTABLISHED 2 YEARS EARLIER AT SHENZHEN UNIVERSITY. THE NEW FACILITY IS DESIGNED TO BE. AN _INTEGRATED BASE FOR EDUCATION, SCIENTIFIC’ RESEARCH, AND TRAINING. IT “WILL DIAGNOSE AND TREAT PATIENTS USING CLAIRVOYANCE, ACUPUNCTURE, AND TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. ((LUO)) ZHENGQI (STC 5012 1794 0796), PRESIDENT OF SHENZHEN UNIVERSITY, AND ((LIU)) HEQIAO (STC 0491 7729 5062), DEPUTY COMMANDER OF THE GUANGZHOU MILITARY REGION, WERE AMONG THE GUESTS AT THE OPENING CEREMONY FOR THE HUMAN BODY ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER. 4. (U) AN AUGUST 1988 CHINESE SOURCE (QZ, P. 353) REPORTED THAT CHINA'S QIGONG SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (LOCATION NOT IDENTIFIED) WAS ESTABLISHED ON 26 MAY 1988 AS A SUBORDINATE ORGANIZATION OF THE CHINESE SOCIETY OF QIGONG SCIENCE. CHAIRMAN ZHANG ZHENHUAN OF THE LATTER ORGANIZATION BECAME DIRECTOR OF THE QIGONG SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER. THE MISSIONS OF THIS NEW CENTER ARE TO COORDINATE VARIOUS — STUDIES ON QIGONG SCIENCE AND CONSTRUCT INFORMATION NETWORKS, EVALUATE AND DISSEMINATE QIGONG SCIENCE RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS , AND PROVIDE RELATED ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS. 5. (U} ACCORDING TO NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER CHINESE SOURCES (KR, P. 1; WWE, P. 1), ((ZHANG)) CHUNYAN (STC 1728 2504 1750) OF THE BEIJING ACADEMY OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE, BEIJING, DISCOVERED A THIRD PATH THAT DIFFERS FROM THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND MERIDIAN SYSTEM (MAIN AND COLLATERAL VITAL ENERGY CHANNELS) IN THE BODY, WHICH IS PROVING TO BE OF GREAT VALUE IN TREATING HARD-TO-CURE DISEASES. ZHANG PRESENTED HIS HYPOTHESIS ABOUT THE THIRD PATH AT THE FIRST WORLD CONVENTION ON ACUPUNCTURE HELD IN OCTOBER 1987 (LOCATION NOT IDENTIFIED), GARNERING THE ATTENTION OF WORLD SPECIALISTS. 6. (U) A SEPTEMBER 1988 CHINESE SOURCE (ZQ, PP. 2-6) PUBLISHED THE FOLLOWING FIVE RECENT STUDIES ON QIGONG AND OTHER EXTRAORDINARY ABILITIES. A.

COMMENTS: (FIELD COMMENTS)--1. (U) AT ABOUT THE TIME WHEN THE CHINESE SOCIETY OF QIGONG SCIENCE (PARA 2) WAS STARTED IN APRIL 1987, ITS CHAIRMAN, ZHANG ZHENHUAN, CALLED FOR THE PROMOTION OF ~QIGONG EDUCATION BY THE STATE EDUCATION: COMMISSION, ESPECIAL: INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING SEP 88). CHINA ALSO ELEVATED N BODY SCIENCES INCORPORATING QIGONG AND EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO THE POSITION OF A DISCIPLINE, INAUGURATING THE CHINESE SOCIETY OF HUMAN BODY SCIENCES ON 3 MAY 1987 DTG 050401Z JAN 88). THE FACT THAT THE THREE CENTERS DEDICATED TO RESEARCH AND EDUCATION OF HUMAN SGIA BODY SCIENCES WERE ESTABLISHED RECENTLY AT UNIVERSITIES (PARAS 2, 3, AND 4) INDICATES THAT STEADY PROGRESS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO FOLLOWING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE QIGONG SCIENCE AND. HUMAN BODY SCIENCE SOCIETIES. PARAGRAPHS 5 THROUGH 6 ALSO SHOW | CHINA'S HEIGHTENED INTEREST IN THE HUMAN BODY SCIENCES. . 2. (U) THE CHINESE DEFENSE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED THE FIRST NEW FACILITY NOTED (PARA 2). THIS SUGGESTS | . THAT THE CHINESE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMY POSSIBLY IS TRYING TO- EXPLOIT THE ACHIEVEMENTS IN HUMAN BODY SCIENCES FOR MILITARY PURPOSES. -— . . . 3. (U) CENTERS SIMILAR TO THE THREE NOTED TO DATE PROBABLY WILL BE ESTABLISHED AT OTHER CHINESE UNIVERSITIES IN THE FUTURE. THE QIGONG SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (PARA 4) PROBABLY WILL COORDINATE RESEARCH COOPERATION AND THE FLOW OF RESEARCH RESULTS AMONG THESE CENTERS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS MISSION. 4. (U) THE NEW RESEARCH CENTERS ARE CLOSELY RELATED IN THAT THE FOCUS OF THEIR RESEARCH IS SUCH UNEXPLAINED HUMAN INFORMATION MECHANISMS AS QIGONG AND OTHER EXTRAORDINARY ABILITIES. THE SUBSTANCE THAT PASSES THROUGH THE THIRD PATH OF THE HUMAN BODY (PARA 5) MAY BE LINKED TO PSYCHOKINESIS, THE MOVEMENT OF MATTER BY MIND.
