(Clearwisdom.net) On February 19, 2008, the host of the popular local talk show Pauw & Witteman (which is shown on Channel 3 of the National Dutch Television Station) said that the Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular received obstruction from the Chinese embassy, but the show went on, nevertheless.

Guests invited to take part in the talk show included the most famous comedian in the Netherlands, Erik van Muiswinkel. Van Muiswinkel promoted a "Don't go to China" song in the Netherlands together with lyric writer Jeroen van Meermijk. The name of the song is "China Song," and is sung by a famous four-person group.

The lyrics of the song:

Van Muiswinkel said if we go to China, it will mean that we condone the things that take place there. Our mission is to stand up for the moral standards and values that we in the west have known about in the past 200 to 300 years, such as the rule of law. Going to China without considering this, it is unacceptable.

Van Muiswinkel said the he urges athletes not to take part in the Olympic Games because they are the sole candidates able to send a clear signal. If an athlete can hold a press conference in China talking about the persecution in China, that would be great. No matter what, the CCP regime will collapse. It is only a matter of time.

He said that in the performance presented by Divine Performing Arts in The Hague, some of the performers are Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP embassy made concerted attempts to interfere with the performance and to shut it down. Luckily, they were unsuccessful in their attempts.
