China airs documentary proving military university...
Given that Falun Gong is led by a fellow who has claimed he can levitate and control people's actions with his mind, I would want some third-party collaboration of their "evidence". Pretty easy to cook up screenshots and such.

The word you want is corroboration unless you mean for a third-party to help Falun Gong in their fight against the PRC.
To corroborate:
to make more certain; confirm.
Example: He corroborated my account of the accident.

Typo is for letters, I don't know the equivalent for choosing the wrong word.
