In early summer of 2016 I attended a sold-out dance performance of Shen Yun in Denver's Center for the Performing Arts, a presentation of spectacular acrobatic traditional Chinese dances sprinkled with an anti Chinese government and a spiritual message of peace and tragedy of a persecution of a minority religion., both values to which I subscribed and I was quoted in Epoch Times post-performance. There seemed nothing domestically political about the troop's message and I assumed it must have been connected with a religious cult-like Falun Gong which had been prosecuted by the Chinese government and had a large following among Chinese refugees in the US. My suspicions were correct, as it turned out...but in 2016, the media arm of Falun Gong took a turn to US politics, supporting Donald Trump as they saw him as the instrument to end Communism in China. They have also become purveyors of online conspiracy theories supporting Qanon, recently declared by the FBI as a domestic terrorist organization, and the anti vac movement. I find this more than disturbing and for those contemplating attending the next Shen Yun presentation in Denver, keep that in mind. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/qanon-domestic-terrorism-threat-conspiracy-theory-866288/
