Bomb threats on Shen Yun performances

Performances of Shen Yun are encountering bomb threats emanating from China. I watched a Shen Yun performance once in Paris with a French friend. The impression it produced on me was curious: it reproached the Chinese government as cruelly repressive (which indeed it is), and spread on such a thick layer of this teaching that I began to find it annoying, despite the fact that I agreed in advance with that reproach. I told this to my friend, and she had felt the same. "It preaches too much," she said. I still condemn China's repression and threats — like what the bully is trying to impose in the US — but I have no appetite to see another Shen Yun performance.
