Sorry, I have to chime in here. The „cult“-schtick is CCP propaganda used to defame and frame Falun Gong in China and abroad.
If you use this term, you play in the CCPs hands in a way by giving legitimacy the term.
The Falun Gong guys who founded the Epoch Times have proven again and again with the publication that they take journalism seriously and they try to deliver real news.
Your remark is insidious and denigrates the work the paper has done.
In a nutshell: we all know the commies are a bunch of liars and murderers, and the rising popularity of the practice that teaches the people to live according its core principles (Truth, Benevolence and Tolerance) made Falun Gong a target - teaching people something that goes against the core principles of the CCP was not something it could let be.
A bit like what‘s happening to MAGA, by the current commie regime, but on steroids.

Why is CCP so against people that do breathing exercises?

Well, I practice Falun Gong (since 1998, before the persecution in China started), so there‘s that.
That‘s because I‘m on this board for since about three years.
