(Mary Man/The Epoch Times) VANCOUVER—Renowned Canadian violinist Andrew Dawes enjoyed the visual and aural components of Shen Yun Performing Arts, which when combined seeks to illustrate the beauty of a thousands year old culture said to be inspired by the heavens. “As a musician, I was very pleased with everything, with music and the dance and the production, it’s great, it’s a wonderful show,” he said. “I think all these musicians are doing an excellent job, really a great pleasure to hear you all.” Dawes is known for being first violinist of the Toronto-based Orford String Quartet for almost three decades. He was also Professor of Music at the University of Toronto and is Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia School of Music. The musician has also acted as a juror in several music competitions including the London International String Quartet competition, the Coleman Chamber Music Competition, and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. He attended the performance of Shen Yun at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, Canada, on March 31. Shen Yun was founded in New York in 2006 with a goal of reviving traditional Chinese culture through the arts. Since then, the company has expanded from one to six contingents that tour the world each year to showcase the wonders of an ancient civilization to modern audiences.

This exhibition takes place on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing of Apollo 11. A wide range of photographs from NASA’s Apollo Program 1961 -1972, published in Austria via the U.S. Information Service (USIS), highlight #MILANEUM the culmination of technological development and international cooperation in space. (19-39) 4/2019 Photographs by the Austro-Hungarian astronomer Ladislaus Weinek from the 1880s illustrate the efforts of the 19th century to accurately depict the lunar surface. (3-6) The attraction between astronomy and photography is natural, since both are concerned with the reflectance or absorption of light upon surfaces. Around 1900 even simple studio photographers tried to profit from the fascination for the moon. (13-15) Photomontage postcards convey bizarre fantasies about life on the moon.

  • Chinese Government Influence on the U.S. Media Landscape
    Chinese Government Influence on the U.S. Media Landscape Written Testimony by Sarah Cook Senior Research Analyst for East Asia, Freedom House Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Hearing on China’s Information Controls, Global Media Influence, and Cyber Warfare Strategy May 4, 2017 Introduction Reuters establishes a new round of internal vetting on stories about human rights in China after its English and Chinese websites are blocked.1 Radio stations in fifteen U.S. cities broadcast content provided by Chinese state-run media.2 Tech giant Apple removes the New York Times’ mobile-phone applications from its download store in China with little explanation.3 And several rounds of crippling cyberattacks hit the New York-based servers of New Tang Dynasty Television and The Epoch Times newspaper’s websites.4 These are a small sample of incidents that have occurred over the past three years. Collectively, they illustrate various ways in which Chinese Communist Party (CCP) information controls—in terms of both censorship and propaganda—extend beyond mainland China’s borders and influence the media landscape in the United States. This testimony summarizes and supplements a 2013 study I authored of this phenomenon globally—The Long Shadow of Chinese Censorship,5 while attempting to offer updates on its recent evolution as it pertains to the American news media sector. The CCP and various Chinese government entities, have long sought to influence public debate and media coverage about China in the United States, particularly among Chinese language communities. However, over the past decade, these efforts have expanded and intensified.
