Q: It is reported that the Australian Prime Minister’s official residence in Canberra got a bomb threat. Sources indicated the threat was written in Chinese and aimed at preventing the “Shen Yun Performing Arts”, which is supported by “Falun Gong”, from performing in Australia. What is China’s comment on this?

    A: We have noticed relevant reports but have no knowledge with what happened. China always opposes all forms of violent attacks.

    Regarding “Falun Gong” and the “Shen Yun” performance, I’d like to emphasize that “Falun Gong” is a notorious anti-humanity, anti-society and anti-science cult, which has been outlawed by the Chinese government in accordance with the law. The so-called “Shen Yun” is a political tool used by “Falun Gong” to disseminate anti-China narratives and cult ideology, seek to expand its influence, and amass financial gains under the guise of promoting traditional Chinese culture. This constitutes a distortion and desecration of Chinese culture, and represents deception, manipulation, and harm to audiences. We believe that the Australian people are able to distinguish right from wrong.
