眾籌圖示

More than 30 years ago, Wang Huning, the current member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, wrote "America Against America." This political ideology is being implemented by the CCP, exploiting the openness and freedom of the American system to create political divisions within the US, manipulate US elections, collect US data, steal intellectual property, destroy US supply chains, remotely control US infrastructure, buy off mainstream US media, and weaponize US executive departments (Department of Justice, IRS, EPA, Labor Bureau, Department of Homeland Security, etc.) to target groups or individuals the CCP seeks to eliminate. These strategies have become one of the most serious national security problems in the US.

Therefore, We plan to raise $200,000 to produce a documentary exposing the CCP's conspiracies. We appeal for everyone's support and donations.

All board members will not receive any salary, and the amount raised and its use will be disclosed to donors. Excess funds will be rolled over to the next project or used to fund other non-profit organizations, such as Shen Yun Performing Arts or Fei Tian University's other projects.

Donors of over $250 will receive a free set of the complete e-books Talks on Chinese Civilization authored by Dr. Tianliang Zhang.

Donors of over $5,000 will have their names acknowledged at the end of the documentary.
