Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) recently told The Epoch Times that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) transnational repression of Falun Gong and Shen Yun Performing Arts on American soil amounts to a form of terrorism. He said the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies must refocus to confront such threats more effectively.
Loudermilk responded to questions regarding bomb threats linked to CCP efforts to target Shen Yun and Falun Gong in the United States. One incident occurred in February, before Shen Yun was scheduled to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The center was briefly evacuated, but the performance went on as planned. A second incidence took place in June, during the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in the nation’s capital.
