    This is not gonna happen. They’re an extension of Falun Gong, who runs the Epoch Media Group which pushes the Epoch Times, a far-right paper in the US which worked very hard to curry favor with Trump, meaning you are immune to regulation or prosecution.

    The billboards billing it as a “life-changing experience” are right. My parents saw it and said it was really bad, lol. Half the show was normal, then some white asshole got on stage and started spewing crackpot cult shit for the whole second half of the show, which everyone had to sit through. Fuck the falun gong, the epoch times, and Shen Yun.

      It also uses unpaid labor. They can technically quit but they get hit with thousands in fees for their “education.”

    I’m honestly impressed with their advertising budget and reach. I see ads for it EVERYWHERE. Billboards, flyers, on YouTube, radio, smoke signals, the car in front of me signaling --. — / … . . / … … . -. / -.-- …- -. with their brake lights…

      They’re owned by a religious cult, and the show is all about how China has oppressed their religion. This is the same religious cult that owns Epoch Times and heavily supported Trump.

          But instead of rejecting emotional/mental health professional care like Scientology, they reject physical medical care because suffering makes you better. Like if Scientology and Jehova’s Witnesses had a baby.
