2. Targets must be sealed using tamper-proof methods--"irreversible" is the Chinese. term.
3. There must be continuous, on-site, multi-angle observation by experimenters or by video tape.
These requirements have led researchers to believe that their reported results are.real, and that
the effect is PK acting on the target. When the use of modern instruments becomes unavoidable,
it is believed that the experimental protocol must be arranged so that the subject is away from the
instruments and without knowledge of when or how the surveillance and analysis of targets is
performed.
4. Psi as a personally developable skill
It is assumed as a matter of course in P.R.C. that psychic ability, as well as other benefits, can
be developed through the practice of qigong. In the West, by contrast, the serious literature
largely ignores training and stresses conditions at the time of the experiment.
Although investigations of apparitions, poltergeists, hauntings, and survival of death (including
mediumship, channeling, and reincarnation) are not formally banned in P.R.C., these topics are
often considered to be sensitive, and thus are not reported as being formally studied because of
concern about their ideological inappropriateness under the compelling guidelines of Marxist
materialism. Moreover, researchers are comparatively ignorant concerning these psychic
research topics. Some experimenters briefly investigated such areas earlier, but soon became
targets for attack by Mr. Yu Guangyuan and others. It seems that no one has mentioned these
topics openly since then.

121n the P.R.C. authoritative statements about sensitive topics frequently appear in serial publications of restricted
circulation. Later, these statements may be quoted or paraphrased in an unrestricted journal and, in this way, become
available for quotation in writings intended for foreign publication. In China, papers abstracted in another journal keep
their original titles unless otherwise indicated. In the present list, references are in Chinese unless notated "(In
English)". The reader will notice the absence of Chinese research papers in foreign journals. Such papers would
require official approval before submission, and, for the present, such approval is not likely to be forthcoming.
