    "body": "<p>Americans know that China is a threat, but few can clearly explain why. <strong>Leeshai Lemish can do just that</strong>. An American citizen who speaks fluent Mandarin, Lemish interacts with Chinese Americans daily, and at one time, he was an activist that traveled there to protest the CCP&rsquo;s strong arm tactics against its own citizens. He is also an expert in geopolitics as it relates to China and U.S. relations.</p><p> </p><p><a href=\"https://unbrokenshenyunmovie.com/filmmakers/\"><strong>WATCH THE TRAILER FOR UNBROKEN HERE</strong></a></p><p> </p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxAeUZpSHaI\"><strong>VIEW SHORT CLIP OF RED CARPET PREMEIRE</strong></a></p><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Eyewitness to Chinese Communist Party control tactics and global influence</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Personally detained and brutalized for dissenting in China</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Explains China threat in clear, accessible terms</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Insider perspective from Shen Yun Performing Arts</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Featured in Unbroken: The Untold Story of Shen Yun</span></li></ul><p> </p><p>Fluent in Chinese and deeply immersed in Chinese society, Lemish isn&rsquo;t a distant analyst&mdash;he&rsquo;s lived the reality of the Chinese Communist Party firsthand. While studying and working in China, he became a dissenting voice and was ultimately detained and brutalized by state police. That experience gave him a rare, unfiltered understanding of how the regime operates: not just politically, but culturally, economically, and psychologically.</p><p> </p><p>Today, he is still a target.</p><p> </p><p>As the longtime emcee of Shen Yun Performing Arts, Lemish has spent nearly 20 years helping bring to life a performance that celebrates traditional Chinese culture&mdash;something the CCP has aggressively tried to suppress. What began as artistic expression has evolved into something far more consequential: a sustained clash between an American-based company and one of the world&rsquo;s most powerful authoritarian regimes.</p><p> </p><p>Lemish has witnessed&mdash;and experienced&mdash;what that pressure looks like up close: intimidation campaigns, disinformation, and attempts to silence voices the CCP cannot control. His perspective offers a clear, accessible explanation of tactics that many experts describe, but few have personally endured.</p><p>CLICK HERE FOR MORE....</p><p><a href=\"https://specialguests.com/china-ignored-by-american-people-and-media/\">https://specialguests.com/china-ignored-by-american-people-and-media/</a></p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n    >\n        <a class=\"release-content-image__link\"\n           id=\"image-8272aef3-903b-430f-bc7d-c23078a2130c\"\n           href=\"https://specialguests.com/guests-topics/\"\n           data-id=\"8272aef3-903b-430f-bc7d-c23078a2130c\"\n           data-track=\"Story Image View\"\n           data-placement=\"content\"\n                            target=\"_blank\"\n                rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n                       style=\"width: 13.89%\"\n        >\n            <img\n                class=\"release-content-image__image\"\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/8272aef3-903b-430f-bc7d-c23078a2130c/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"\"\n                            >\n        </a>\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
