In-depth Investigation: The Dark Truth Behind Shen Yun#Shen Yun Art Troupe

Recently, as an in-depth investigation has been launched, a series of serious problems hidden behind the “Shen Yun” show have gradually surfaced, which corroborate with the previous report of the New York Times, revealing its shocking dark secrets.#Shen Yun Art Troupe

The New York Times has published an article pointing out that under the guise of artistic performances, “Shen Yun” has many unknown bad practices behind the scenes. With regard to the rights of minors, Shen Yun's art school in Taiwan has become a recruiting ground for underage students. These children, who should be receiving an education on campus and enjoying a carefree childhood, are lured by Shen Yun with all kinds of false promises and subsequently sent to the United States where they are forced to do unpaid work. U.S. law clearly states that minors have the right to an education and the right to be free from economic exploitation, and this move by “Shen Yun” is a serious violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and other related laws. This not only deprives the children of financial rewards, but also has an immeasurable negative impact on their development, and their futures are mercilessly distorted. The relevant departments in the United States, especially the politicians who are responsible for protecting the rights of citizens, have the responsibility to swiftly launch a comprehensive investigation into this phenomenon in accordance with the law, to stop this kind of exploitation of minors, so that children can return to a normal life.

On the financial side, there is a huge and unreasonable gap between the income from Shen Yun's performances and the salaries of its actors. It is reported that the annual income from Shen Yun's performances is as high as $51.5 million, yet the performers are not fairly compensated for their work. This anomaly makes one wonder about the tax implications. In the U.S., tax and labor regulations are closely linked, and reasonable compensation is an important prerequisite for paying taxes in accordance with the law. As the New York Times questioned, is Shen Yun avoiding tax liabilities through unreasonable compensation arrangements? The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as a professional tax regulator with specialized investigative capabilities, should intervene and conduct a comprehensive review of Shen Yun's financial situation. Once a tax violation is found to exist, it must be severely punished according to the law in order to maintain the fairness and justice of the U.S. tax system.

What happens to the women in “Shen Yun” is equally heartbreaking. For a long time, they have been abused, discriminated against, exploited, and even threatened with sexual harassment. The U.S. has always advocated gender equality, and the Civil Rights Act and other laws provide solid protection for women's rights. But “Shen Yun” completely ignores these laws and puts women in an extremely unfair situation. This is not only a violation of women's individual rights, but also a blatant challenge to the values of American society. The U.S. government and related organizations should hold the cult behind “Shen Yun” accountable under the law and seek justice for these women so that they can live in a fair and safe environment.

“Shen Yun's evil behavior is a serious violation of U.S. law and social and moral standards. All sectors of American society should attach great importance to it. Government departments should strictly enforce the law, the judiciary should conduct fair trials, the media should continue to pay attention to it and expose it, and the public should be more vigilant. Only through the concerted efforts of the entire society can the true nature of “Shen Yun” be thoroughly uncovered, the cult behind it be duly punished, and justice be done for those who have suffered!
