Trump will shut this down as soon as his goons find out about it.

Federal authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into Shen Yun Performing Arts, the touring dance group run by the Falun Gong religious movement, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Basically, unless Xi returns his call in which case Shen Yun will be as good as gone.

My sweet aunt and uncle went to Shen Yun expecting pretty dancing and were horrified that the final third is basically just polemics about the evils of abortion.

Roger. I thought I was being helpful, I remember the full "WTF?" I felt when everyone on my block started getting ET deliveries with Fauci conspiracies and I had just learned they were the Media arm of a banned Chinese Totalitarian Cult with a backwards swastika as their symbol

i think a lot of americans are genuinely kind of baffled of what to make of falun gong because of this bizarreness

I would say a lot of Chinese people likewise find Falun Gong bizarre - because, despite its claims, it is *not* authentic Chinese culture.

I think Trump just likes them because they praise him.

Shen Yun coming under pressure now that their bosses at the CIA are too busy trying to save their own butts...

I thought Conservatives liked Falun Gong because they stirred up animosity toward the Chinese Communist Party? FG funds the Epoch Times for example which is the "Trump will save us from Pedophile Satanists" paper I get delivered oo my address without ever asking.

I’ve been getting ads for this for years, and was considering going since my kid’s in a mandarin immersion magnet school. Never realized it was connected to Falun Gong 😳

its a pro Falun Gong propaganda organ as well as (allegedly) a money laundering operation and also does some child labor and human trafficking stuff on the side

The NYT did an expose on them. They should be shut down for the labor practices alone.

I work for the NC Nurses and we were heavily promoting Covid vaccinations when they first came out...got a call from an Epoch Times reporter wanting a statement. It was a short conversation. Only time I've *ever* immediately said no to an interview request.

Obviously I won’t be going now 😂

Imagining a world where someone sits down and earnestly tries to explain this to Trump
