Omg! Trump retweeted your post! @DrewPavlou yiiikes! Incredible! 😃 bet you didn't see that coming! Lol they were circulating this screenshot in the Chinese social media.

Sydney local council @TheHillsCouncil 's Castle Hill Lunar Street Festival 2026 partnered with William Yu (余俊武 Yu Junwu), a prominent figure in the Chinese Communist Party's United Front influence network, and his Huaxing Arts Troupe for this year's performances. Yu is a strong advocate for China reunification, saying that he uses arts and performances to promote Chinese culture, repay the motherland and achieve peaceful reunification. The Hills LNY festival also featured a speech delivered by Sydney Chinese Consul General Wang Yu calling on the Hills district Chinese locals not to be misled by "wayward" and "radical" groups and that the Chinese Communist government is the one promoting true Chinese traditional culture (although he does not mention that the CCP denounced traditional Chinese culture and all religions in 1949 in order to solidify power which brought about the infamous decade long Cultural Revolution). This LNY street festival was funded by taxpayers’ @nsw_olg @nswdphi Open Streets program, yet it features a non-local organization led by a prominent UFWD person who promotes the CCP’s political interests. Yu is currently the president of the Australian Chinese Performing Artists Association (ACPAA), the leader and founder of the Sydney Huaxing Arts Troupe, a director of the Beijing Overseas Chinese Friendship Association, vice president of the Cultural Promotion Association of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and a member of the Advisory Committee of the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. Yu and Huaxing Arts Troupe are also mentioned by @alexjoske as part of the overseas united front network in his 2020 research report “The party speaks for you: Foreign interference and the Chinese Communist Party’s united front system”. Yu has a close VIP relationship with the Sydney Chinese Consul General Wang Yu, appearing at many Chinese Consulate events. Wang Yu also spoke at the Huaxing Arts Troupe’s 10th anniversary in 2025. United Front Work Department (UFWD) acts directly under the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee and is a large clandescent Communist party web that infiltrates the Chinese diaspora around the world through forms of “cultural exchange”, art performances and various events. Yu’s profile is featured in Beijing’s UFWD website, emphasizing “unity” –--- very different to Australia’s values of diversity and harmony.

"No evidence" and "jumping to conclusions"? @stephendziedzic I would have expected more nuanced analysis of who was behind these bomb threats. It is happening in almost every city Shen Yun is performing in around the world. That cannot be a coincidence without any CCP directive?

Now they are doing it to Australia. PM @AlboMP receives bomb threat over Shen Yun performance here. This time the CCP used the name of another famous US-Chinese commentator Chen Po Kong to issue the threat. #TransnationalRepression

Received a hoax from someone pretending to be well-known Canadian Chinese journo @ShengXue_ca who supposedly filled out an online form at the performance venue (using one of our emails!) to make a bomb threat against the world famous Shen Yun performing arts show in Knoxville, TN

Japan 'walking alone' due to Labor silence over China row, ex-ambassador says @SkyNews

Received this Open Letter from the Australian and NZ Alliance for Victims of the Chinese Communist Regime requesting a formal statement from Penny Wong over HK police warrant for human rights advocate Dr Feng @FengChongyi. @SenatorWong: please stand up for our Australian values.

Disgraceful! @SydOperaHouse giving oxygen to Chinese Communist propaganda artworks: White-haired Girl (one of the 8 model operas promoted by the CCP), the Communist's Daughter (self explanatory), Xiao'er Hei's Marriage (propaganda piece during the anti-Japanese war). 1/2

😂 This pro-ccp guy comes up to a protester and says "Take a photo of me!" Then crosses the road to the police and yells "Police! I need help!" Police replies, "No, you don't." 😂😂 This is GOLD!
