Over a hundred people gathered in front of the Chinese consulate in San Francisco on Friday, united by a message: “Chinese consul, immediately stop interfering with Shen Yun and U.S. government officials.” The Chinese consul’s recent actions, they say, amount to compromising U.S. sovereignty.
They were protesting a letter written by Chinese Consul General Mr. Gao Zhansheng to a Seattle City Council member, urging the Councilor to not support the Seattle production of the classical Chinese dance company, Shen Yun Performing Arts.
Shen Yun has as its mission the revival of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, much of which was attacked and destroyed over decades of communist rule in China.
