Mao-LAtov (Guest: Shen Yun)

Fingerprints of China’s CCP all over Flames Lighting up Los Angeles Streets

We know the L.A. riots are coordinated and well organized. The only question that remains is who is behind it. We now know that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is involved to a significant degree. In that regard, Shen Yun should be considered an invaluable resource for U.S. law enforcement.

Shen Yun should not be vilified or ignored. They should be promoted as American patriots from an American company that is on the side of the American people against CCP persecution.

Newly emerging evidence suggests that the recent riots in Los Angeles — originally sparked by anti-ICE protests — may have been far more organized than previously believed. Federal authorities are now examining potential foreign influence and financial backing behind the violence, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has come under increasing scrutiny.

Shen Yun’s leadership has long warned that the CCP is not merely a distant authoritarian regime but an active global disruptor with deep infiltration capabilities. Shen Yun has been directly targeted on U.S. soil through coordinated bomb threats, cyberattacks, and intimidation campaigns — all tied back to the CCP’s vast network of repression and control. This isn’t speculation. It’s personal experience.

What’s happening in Los Angeles isn’t new to Shen Yun. They’ve seen firsthand how the CCP mobilizes proxies, funds domestic chaos, and weaponizes free societies against themselves. From cultural sabotage to physical threats, Shen Yun has stood on the front lines of the CCP’s covert war against freedom of expression.

Now, as federal investigations dig into possible CCP-linked financial and organizational support behind the L.A. riots, Shen Yun is uniquely positioned to provide insight. This isn’t about protests. It’s about foreign manipulation masquerading as grassroots unrest.

Key topics Shen Yun can address:

  • How the CCP exports repression abroad
  • The pattern of organized sabotage they’ve endured firsthand
  • Why bomb threats and riots often come from the same strategic playbook
  • What Americans must understand about Beijing’s influence operations in our cities

A Shen Yun spokesperson is available now for interviews, commentary, or expert analysis. The chaos in Los Angeles may be homegrown in appearance — but behind the curtain, familiar hands may be pulling the strings.

Shen Yun’s representatives can speak to the CCP’s deep playbook—and why Americans, especially conservatives, should be paying closer attention.

ABOUT LEVI BROWDE…

Levi Browde serves as the Executive Director with the New York-based Falun Dafa Information Center – an organization dedicated to ending the human rights abuses against people who practice Falun Gong in China.

A career software entrepreneur, Levi’s life changed dramatically in 1999 when his best friend came to the office one morning and announced the Chinese Communist Party had taken away his mother in Beijing to be tortured and “brainwashed.” This marked the beginning of his volunteer work to defend human rights in China. Two years later, Levi himself was detained in a Chinese jail outside Beijing for secretly meeting with Western reporters and protesting on Tiananmen Square.

Over the past 20 years, Browde has been interviewed and quoted by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, CNN, the Associated Press, TIME Magazine, BBC, AFP, and other media outlets. He has spoken about Falun Gong and human rights in China at briefings on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, at the United Nations human rights sessions in Geneva, Switzerland.

Browde studied East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University and is an avid supporter of traditional Chinese culture. He founded several software start-ups, and lives in New York with his wife and two sons.

ABOUT YING CHEN…

Ying Chen is an orchestra conductor who has been with Shen Yun from the very beginning. She can offer insights and personal stories about how Shen Yun started as an all-volunteer group of first- generation immigrants, and through hard work, faith, and a relentless dedication to a grand vision to revive a culture almost destroyed in communist China, created the fastest growing performing arts company in American history.

Ying can also tell the horrific story of her family’s detention and torture in China, an experience that helped drive her and the entire community at Shen Yun to create a production that would shed light on the tyranny of the Chinese communist regime, while also inspiring people around the world with hope and a renewed sense of our common humanity.

The story of Ying, her family, and community at Shen Yun is a quintessential tale of facing the evils of the world with resilience and faith, and never letting others, even the largest totalitarian regime on earth, take away one’s hope.
