China\u2019s foreign ministry has responded to reports that the prime minister\u2019s evacuation from The Lodge was prompted by Mandarin-language bomb threats aimed at a dissident dance troupe.<\/p>\n

Beijing\u2019s foreign minister spokeswoman, Mao Ning, in response to questions from the ABC, said China opposed \u201call forms of violent attacks\u201d.<\/p>\n

She went on to attack the Shun Yen dance troupe, which is linked to the Falun Gong religious movement, saying that \u201cthe so-called \u2018Shen Yun\u2019 performance is not a normal cultural activity at all, but a political tool used by the Falun Gong organisation to spread cult information and amass wealth\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe Shen Yun Group received threatening emails about a scheduled performance.YouTube<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, the so-called \u2018Shen Yun\u2019 performing arts troupe\u2019s systematic abuse, illegal employment, and mind control of its staff have been repeatedly exposed. We hope that all sectors will remain vigilant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dance troupe, operated by the persecuted religious movement, is currently touring Australia.<\/p>\n

The threats reported in The Epoch Times, also linked to Falun Gong and independently verified by this masthead, said The Lodge would be blown up unless the performances were cancelled. The Australian Federal Police is investigating.<\/p>\n
