China tried to pressure Vancouver to cancel Shen Yun

"The Falun Dafa Association of Canada is calling for the removal of Chinese consulate officials in Vancouver after Global News reported that representatives from the Chinese consulate met with civil servants at Vancouver's Civic Theatre regarding Shen Yun Performing Arts."

This is concerning and I'll tell you why. Global reported that "Chinese consular officials met with a Vancouver city hall employee last month and urged her to cancel an arts event that highlighted communist party repression, sources told Global News." That is totally believable.

"At the meeting, representatives of China’s consulate told a staff member of the city’s civic theatres branch that they wanted a series of performances by the Shen Yun dance group to be stopped, the sources said."

That is concerning because they did the same thing in Ottawa and were successful at getting Shen Yun canceled which is a defiant violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights. 

The Global News article included a follow up from the Vancouver mayor's office which confirmed the meeting did occurred but assured everyone it was cordial. Hmmm...

Listen how the CBC defames the Shen Yun performance. The dramatic headline reads " Ottawa's National Arts Centre cuts ties with controversial Chinese dance group." Controversial Chinese dance group? There is absolutely nothing controversial about it. It's a magnificent cultural event. Have you ever seen it?

I have numerous friends in Vancouver that promote the event because it promotes Chinese culture. Who in their right mind would oppose that? Well the Communist Party of China does because they bill it as what China was like before Communism. So there's obvious political tension. 

The Communist Parry of China has bent over backwards to defame and cancel that popular event wherever it is performed. Strangely enough they have also been getting bomb threats at various venues. That's how determined the powers that be are to defame and cancel that positive event.

The CBC hit piece claims that "The National Arts Centre in Ottawa will not be hosting a controversial Chinese performance group next year, following internal deliberations about potential blowback the Crown corporation could face over allegations regarding Shen Yun's treatment of audience members with disabilities and a breach of previous contract terms, CBC News has learned." That's straight up defamation.

The New York Times, which spins for the Communist Party of China, put out a defamatory article about Shen Yun claiming that a couple of disgruntled former employees trashed the group. OK let's look at the obvious.

Have you ever been to the ballet or a show on Broadway? It's a lot of hard work and many people don't make the cut. There are all kinds of stories about ballerinas training with bloody feet. No one suggests anyone should go to that extreme but the bottom line is that the ballet in a lot of hard work. 

The Shen Yun is like that. It's a cross between ballet and gymnastics. In fact they claim those ancient Chinese  traditions founded gymnastic floor routines. 

One of their signature moves is a lady will jump high in the air, do the splits and have these long flowing silk scarves form a circle around her. It's very elegant. 

I follow the Three Musketeers who are three male Shen Yun dancers who are very funny and personable. They've done videos about the New York Times article and explained things from their side. One of the guy's signature moves is a series of gymnastic back flips doing the splits upside down in the last back flip. It's pretty impressive. The main guy admits that it's hard for him to keep up so now he's a trainer. Like any professional sport it's very demanding. 

The CBC article referencing Shen Yun's treatment of audience members with disabilities is a bold faced lie. When the fake news print malicious lies with a political agenda, that's concerning. The Indo Canadian Voice is confirming the Global New report about officials from the CCP meeting with a Vancouver civic employee trying to get them to cancel the Shen Yun event like they did in Ottawa based on sheer defamation. 

OK so this is genuine foreign interference. We know how desperate CSIS and Sam Cooper have been to push fake foreign interference. We saw that in the Bill Majcher trial.

If the government of China hires a private investigator to find out who's stealing from them, that is not unlawful. If the government of China hires someone to harass a dissident for their political opinion, that's foreign interference. When CSIS lied and said that's what Bill Majcher did when they know he didn't, that exposed government corruption tied to CSIS.  

China is far from perfect. Their human rights record still needs work. Organ Harvesting of political prisoners is an abomination. Yet the CIA is a far bigger villain than China is. Which is indeed, a separate topic. My point is CSIS set up Bill Majcher on fake foreign interference but this defamation of Shen Yun is real foreign interference. So we need to talk about why the CBC and the New York Times is defaming a positive cultural event. That's what we need to talk about. The Bleeding Edge - Unsilenced.
