they might be hosting dance shows now, but if we let them keep their organs before you know it the Falun Gong Hover Corps will be storming Zhongnanhai and terrorizing the chinese people with a mild sense of awkwardness

It's one of those cases where everyone involved is poo poo. Communism sucks rear end, and so does Falun Gong.

Epoch Times, the publishing arm of Falun Gong, is the second biggest buyer of pro-Trump ads on facebook behind the Trump campaign itself. It's also promoting QAnon, anti-LGBT and anti-vaccine bullshit on facebook, and buying massive amounts of homophobic, antisemitic, xenophobic far-right social media ads in Europe. I guess the reasoning must be "if communism bad, then fascism must be good"?

In summary:

You need to see a pro-China dance show too or it will be biased. Base your political opinions on whoever is the greatest dancer.

Steven Soderbergh's new Netflix movie The Laundromat has a pretty unexpected aside about China kidnapping and harvesting organs from Falun Gong members (among other groups of course). I thought it was just gonna be about Meryl Streep being a nice old lady who stands up to scammy companies!

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
Go to the Chinese touring acrobats though but get drunk enough that you can suspend disbelief and forget that the traffic (your dd) will drive through on the way home is more dangerous.
