The Chinese regime’s Ministry of State Security is undertaking a plan against Falun Gong spiritual practice and Shen Yun, whistleblower says.
The head of China’s Ministry of State Security, Chen Yixin, is personally driving a smear campaign in the United States against Shen Yun Performing Arts, a whistleblower within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) security apparatus recently revealed.

Shen Yun, a premier classical Chinese dance and music company, has been a prime target of the CCP for its portrayal of Chinese culture free of communist influence. The New York-based company was founded by practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice persecuted by the CCP for the past quarter century.
Chen has been known as a loyal acolyte of CCP head Xi Jinping. He has headed the regime’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) since 2022 and has made it his personal mission to carry out the regime’s wish to eliminate Falun Gong overseas, with Shen Yun becoming a prime target, according to the whistleblower information published on Nov. 24 by the Falun Dafa Information Center (FDIC), a nonprofit monitoring the persecution of Falun Gong.
“His plan was to undermine Falun Gong’s overseas presence, dismantle the organization, and completely resolve the ‘Falun Gong issue’ by the end of the year,” the whistleblower said.
After failing with several of his domestic initiatives, Chen turned to the Falun Gong campaign as a source of political capital, according to the whistleblower.
“Every time Xi goes abroad, there are protests from Falun Gong practitioners, which greatly displeases him,” he said.
