Dear Editor,
Did the Calgary Herald forget to mention in their May 24 article
entitled "Minister denies pressure from China" that Shen Yun has
been the target of a string of sabotage attempts from Beijing's long
arm to cancel Shen Yun shows in major
cities around the globe--and
particularly in 2009 and 2008 when the Chinese Consulate blocked
Calgary Shen Yun sponsors (CBC). It is utterly outrageous to learn
that this dance company got barred from Calgary and Edmonton Jubes
simply for speaking out. Seriously, how can we ignore the elephant
in the room when it comes to Shen Yun? It's a well known secrete
that those expat artists are on the Chinese regime most hated hit
list. The poor
treatment from the Jube and their unwillingness to
openly resolve the issues at hand after 3 years deserved to hit the
media. The overzealous response alone from the Alberta Minister of
Culture is proof enough that something unusual is at play here and
denial is not going to cut it. Let's not get fooled again! Communist
China is doing a little bit more than just watching. Paging Dick
Fadden!
