Sudden Deaths and CCP Censorship Both Rising in China
Young people are dropping dead in cities across China—and the Chinese Communist Party’s response isn’t alarm or investigation. It’s silence, censorship, and intimidation.
Levi Browde and Leeshai Lemish, spokesmen for Shen Yun Performing Arts, and American company based in New York, say what many are too afraid to say: This is the CCP’s playbook—deny, deflect, and disappear the truth.
“The same regime that covered up COVID, that murders prisoners of conscience for their organs, is now sweeping unexplained deaths under the rug,” says Lemish. “It’s not just corrupt—it’s evil. And it’s happening right now.”
Shen Yun was founded by survivors of CCP persecution. Its mission: expose the brutal reality of communism and revive traditional Chinese culture, which the regime has spent decades trying to destroy.
Lemish is available to comment on:
- Why the spikes in sudden deaths may be far worse than reported
- The CCP’s obsessive need to protect its image—even at the cost of human lives
- How the West’s silence enables this kind of authoritarian cruelty
- Why Shen Yun’s performers risked everything to tell these stories
“When a government hides the deaths of its own citizens, it forfeits any claim to legitimacy,” Lemish adds. “This isn’t just about China—it’s a warning to the world.”

ABOUT YING GHEN…
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.
