CCP interference promotes the show

Before the show, the most famous TV program in Australia, Lateline on ABC TV, reported the Spectacular and exposed the interference it faced from the Chinese Consulate in Sydney. There were still some tickets left and the publicity made people curious about the show and bought tickets. The CCP's evil behavior promoted the show.

CCP pressure cannot stop people watching the Spectacular

The night before the show, ABC TV reported that the CCP had exerted pressure on some people, trying to keep them from going to the show. Mr. Ian Cohen, spokesman of The Greens, published a media release titled "Chinese Government Bullying will not stop Green MP's attendance." He said: "Tonight's show will be an event not to be missed. The overreaction of the Chinese Government officials begs the question--what have they got to hide?"

Mr. Cohen told this reporter that the Spectacular was fabulous. The dancing and music was amazing. He said that he liked the Erhu performance and called it Chinese violin. He also liked the dance "Snow Mountain, White Lotus."

He mentioned that the Chinese Consulate had written to him, asking him not to go to the show. He said that the Chinese government should know that their action is useless, especially in Australia. He said that he would feel weird if any organization, political power or representatives from a government is afraid of such a show.

Diplomats: "This is a good chance to learn Chinese culture"

Mr. Ernst Hofstetter, the Consul-General from Switzerland in Australia and his wife expressed that they were very happy to come to the show. He said that it is a very good chance to learn the Chinese culture. He said that the things he learned through the show are very impressive.

Mr. Hofstetter mentioned that he got a letter from the Chinese consulate ten days ago, in which the Chinese government officials asked him not to go to the show, and slandered Falun Gong. His wife was very surprised and cannot believe the government officials from a big country would ruin their image by interfering with the freedom of diplomats from other countries.

Italian Newspaper will keep reporting the Spectacular

Mr. Gilbert was proud that his newspaper is one of the sponsors of the show.
