Letter: Why Shen Yun is banned from Calgary Jube is not rocket science
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!

Events in China Outpacing Canadian MPs, Says Anders
Conservative
MP Rob Anders is concerned that very few Members of Parliament seem to
really understand the significance of events unfolding in China today or
the true nature of the Chinese regime.
[...]“They (MPs) are people that go on five-star trips and get wined and dined and what have you,” he said.
“I think a lot of people get bought into the checkbook diplomacy. I think that China is very good at taking people over to China and Shanghai and giving them a stay at a five-star hotel, and introducing them to people that speak excellent English and take them out for a night on the town, and stroke their egos and offer them business deals.”
Some MPs The Epoch Times has spoken to have been uncomfortable
talking about the unfolding events on the record; but few seem to have
followed events closely. Some MPs who are closely involved in China seem
relatively unaware of the abuses by the regime.
“The problem is a lot of our people are naive,” said Anders.
MPs offered great business deals that keep paying after they put up a bit of money don’t see themselves as bought, said Anders. Other officials approached by a woman a third their age don’t want to recognize that they are being offered favours, he said.
“They don’t want to see that for what it is. … They’re too proud to admit that they’ve been taken.”

taking over other people’s territory, or in terms of gun boat diplomacy
against their neighbours, or in terms of exporting revolution-like
Maoist rebels to Nepal, or in terms of harvesting the organs of Falun Gong practitioners, or having the largest number of political executions
in the world, and its massive system of jails and forced labour—that’s
how the regime has to be judged."
“That is the best way to judge the regime—by their actions, not by the words of the leaders in one-on-one meetings.”

Coup in Beijing, Says Chinese Internet Rumor Mill
According to the message that went viral on China’s Internet, a military force with unknown designation quickly occupied many important places in Zhongnanhai, the Chinese leadership compound in Beijing, and Beijing in the early morning of March 20, with the cooperation of Beijing armed police.
The troops entered Beijing to “get and protect Bo Xilai,” according to the message.
A mainland Chinese reader has told The Epoch Times that a military coup has taken place in Beijing.
It is still unknown who, if anyone, has been arrested.
The message claims Zhou Yongkang first used armed police force in an attempt to arrest Hu and Wen. However, Hu and Wen had been prepared and Zhou’s coup was subdued, though rumors of Hu and Wen being arrested had been spread earlier.

Mingli started practicing in Falun Gong in 1997, getting a new lease on life as his illnesses melted away. Then two years later the practice was outlawed by the Chinese regime, and after being kidnapped four times over the years, he was sentenced to ...
