...NED (CIA underground program created in the Reagan years; National Endowment for Democracy) for funding but can't fund themselves, does that lose credibility of what they are doing?
***I apologize for the long read below***

Finally the truth has come to light. Mr. Robert Ménard, secretary general of the RSF for twenty years, has confessed to receiving financing from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an organization that depends on the U.S. Department of State, whose principal role is to promote the agenda of the White House for the entire world. Ménard was indeed very clear. "We indeed receive money from the NED. And that hasn't posed any problem." [[#1]]

[[Tibetan Independence groups]]
according to formerly secret US intelligence documents (released in the late 1990s), it turned out that "[f]or much of the 1960s, the CIA provided the Tibetan exile movement with $1.7 million a year for operations against China, including an annual subsidy of $180,000 for the Dalai Lama".[5] By 1969, however, it appears that covert support for the Tibetan cause had either served its geopolitical purpose (or it was decided that these operations were simply no longer effective), and the CIA announced the withdrawal of its aid for the Tibetan revolutionaries. That said, support for the Tibetan freedom fighters was still provided by the Indian and Taiwanese governments "until 1974, two years after President Richard Nixon normalized U.S. relations with China" (as were the U.S. subsidies for the Dalai Lama, which also continued until 1974): however, thereafter – especially once the Dalai Lama urged the fighters to put down their weapons – the violent resistance collapsed and the "CIA quietly paid to resettle the survivors".[6] With the apparent end of CIA operations in Tibet, John Kraus (2003) observes that although:
"…President Ford ended the U.S. government's involvement with Tibet as part of its Cold War strategy. The next phase of the U.S. relationship with the Dalai Lama and his people was to be cast in terms of a contest between human rights and political engagement with China."[7] #2

::[[Falun Gong]]::
Would you believe that US Congress may be funding Falun Gong? A quasi-government group found in the public records seem to suggest there's another one of those "Charlie Wilson's War" going on.
Here's the non-profit - Friends of Falun Gong. It is founded by former congressman Tom Lanto's wife, Annette Lantos, and Ambassador Mark Palmer, who is linked to National Endowment for Democracy:

(page 4, list of directors)
It appears over 6 million dollars have been funneled to Falun Gong via this group in 5 years:

So what is all this millions for? Public opinion? Ideological war? Foreign policy implement? Your guess is as good as mine.

Question 2: Is this the reason why CCP is angry that Tibetan independence groups; Falun Gong groups as well as Chinese democracy groups is getting money from the CIA-base group NED so they continue their oppressions?
Question 3: What if those three hadn't been funded by the CIA-group NED; would China still oppress them ?

Oh how wrong you are. CIA entered Tibet in 1954 then China was getting abusive.
On the eve of the Tiananamen Square Massacre; China was getting abusive.
You are wrong that China was oppressive then and when CIA came China was oppressive now.
