The Epoch Times recently reported that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) issued a secret order that opposes the Fifth International Classical Chinese Dance Competition hosted by New Tang Dynasty Television.

In recent years, the CCP has adopted many methods to try to sabotage and interfere with NTD Television’s global competitions. These nine competitions, including culinary, couture and voice competitions, are dedicated to the “renaissance of traditional Chinese culture and performing arts,” according to NTD’s website.

The CCP’s attempts at sabotage have all been done in devious ways, as the CCP would never dare to fight against the global competitions openly.

Audiences who have watched classical Chinese dance during the NTD Television competitions all highly praise the skill, dedication, and pure beauty presented in it.

I own the video collections of two international classical Chinese dance competitions. Every time I watch them my soul is uplifted. I was thrilled by the beautiful performances and the positive message presented through the dancers’ movements. I believe that everyone who has watched classical Chinese dance may share the same feelings.

Classical Chinese dance has also been presented by Shen Yun Performing Arts over the last few years, and it is recognized as one of the top dance performances worldwide. Audience feedback from the shows has been astounding, and the performances have been critically acclaimed by people from nearly all ethnic backgrounds and social strata.

The DVDs of Shen Yun shows are spreading in mainland China, and are highly esteemed by Chinese people living there.

The Chinese regime has tried to sabotage performances by Shen Yun Performing Arts, much as it does with the NTD Television classical Chinese dance competitions, by attempting to convince the venue to cancel the shows, for example.

Why does the CCP try to sabotage these beautiful Chinese dance performances? And why don’t they dare to do so publicly?

The answer will become clear if we make a comparison with what is presented in classical Chinese dance in the CCP’s propaganda dance shows.
