近来，“新唐人电视台”策划于2007年在华盛顿搞所谓“新年晚会”，并正大力宣传、兜售“晚会”门票，蒙骗公众前往观看。
“新唐人电视台”成立于2000年。它自称为“服务于全球华人”的“独立公众媒体”，实则受“法轮功”一手操纵，是其邪教和反华宣传的喉舌。该台除播出少量新闻和电视剧作为点缀和包装之外，集中力量赤裸裸地宣传“法轮功”邪教理论，为李洪志歌功颂德，散布谣言和攻击中国政府。
众所周知，“法轮功”宣扬反人类、反科学的歪理邪说，对信徒实施极端的精神控制，是彻头彻尾的邪教。“法轮功”头目李洪志宣称人类已经毁灭了81次，地球很快又要爆炸，只有他才能拯救人类；地球是宇宙最大的垃圾站，美国则是地球上最大的垃圾场；只要练“法轮功”，生病时不需就医、吃药就能痊愈。他甚至宣称希特勒屠杀犹太人是天象变化的结果。李洪志还利用“法轮功”从事危害社会、侵犯人权、残害生命的违法犯罪活动。据不完全统计，在中国就有1000多名“法轮功”信徒因病拒绝就医而死；数百名信徒自杀或自残；30多人被“法轮功”信徒杀害。事实充分证明，“法轮功”与美国的“人民圣殿教”、“大卫教”和“摩门教末世圣徒原教旨教会”一样，是严重危害社会、侵犯人权的邪教，是现代化文明社会的毒瘤。
为保护广大人民的人权，中国政府依法取缔了“法轮功”，得到了全社会的拥护。但“法轮功”在美国找到了生存和发展的土壤。除继续以各种手段蒙骗公众、宣扬邪教理论外，在美“法轮功”已沦为反华的政治组织。它们捏造所谓受到“迫害”的事实、攻击和诬蔑中国政府，诬告中国政府机构和官员，骚扰中国驻美使领馆和访美团组，与境外其它反华势力相勾结，鼓吹推翻中国政府，破坏中国社会稳定，企图给中美关系正常发展制造麻烦。
近年来，“新唐人电视台”在中国春节期间打着“弘扬中华文化”、“展示东方神韵”的幌子搞所谓“新年晚会”，拉拢不明真相的演员和演出团体参加演出，蒙骗公众前往观看。“新年晚会”拼凑的节目暗含邪教理论，格调低俗，毫无艺术水准可言。“新年晚会”完全是“法轮功”扩大影响、从事邪教和反华宣传的政治工具，是对中华文化的玷污和歪曲，是对观众的欺骗。

Essence of NTDTV and its 'Chinese New Year Gala'
The New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) in the United States is recently vigorously publicizing and selling tickets for the so-called "Chinese New Year Gala" that it plans to stage in Washington D.C. in order to inveigle the public into watching the show.
The Falun Gong organization preaches anti-humanity, anti-science and heretical fallacies and exercises extreme mental manipulation on followers. It is nothing but a cult. Li Hongzhi, the chief ring leader of Falun Gong, says that the mankind has been destroyed 81 times, that the earth is about to explode very soon, and that he is the only savior of man. He says that the earth is the dumping ground of the universe, with the United States being the largest of all, and that by practicing Falun Gong, one could cure any disease without the need to seek medical assistance or medication. He even claims that the Holocaust of Jewish people by Hitler was a result of the changes in celestial phenomena. While preaching Falun Gong cult doctrines, Li Hongzhi committed numerous crimes that endangered the society, violated human rights and destroyed lives. According to incomplete statistics, over 1,000 practitioners died because they followed Li's teachings and refused to seek medical treatment for their illnesses. Several hundred practitioners committed self-mutilation or suicide. Over 30 innocent people were killed by mentally deranged practitioners of Falun Gong. Just like the "People's Temple", "Branch of Davidians" and "Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" in the United States, Falun Gong is a cult organization harmful to the society and violating human rights. It is a cancer of the modern, civilized society.
To protect the human rights of the general public in China, the Chinese Government outlawed Falun Gong. This was endorsed by the whole society. However, this cult has found breeding ground in the United States, where it is surviving and developing. In addition to continuing to cheat the public and preach cult doctrines through various means, the Falun Gong cult organization in the United States degenerated into an anti-China political organization. It fabricates stories of "persecution", attacks and slanders the Chinese Government, files false charges against the Chinese Government institutions and officials and harasses Chinese Embassy, Consulates and visiting delegations. Working hand in glove with other overseas anti-China forces, it clamors for overthrowing the Chinese Government, undermines social stability in China and attempts to create troubles for the normal development of China-U.S. relations.
NTDTV was set up in 2002. Claiming to be an "independent public media organization serving Chinese people all over the world", it is, in essence, a mouthpiece of Falun Gong used for cult and anti-China propaganda. Peppered with limited news and teleplays as a camouflage, NTDTV programs concentrate on undisguised preaching of Falun Gong cult doctrine to eulogize its founder Li Hongzhi, broadcast anti-China programs such as the so-called "nine commentaries on the Communist Party of China" and spread slanderous rumors against the Chinese Government.
In recent years, NTDTV staged the so-called "Galas" during the Chinese New Year festival in the name of showcasing the Chinese culture and the oriental charm in order to draw performing artists and groups who are unaware of the nature of the "Gala" and inveigle public audience into watching the show. However, the "Galas" were patchworks of programs with low artistic value and full of implied preaching of cult doctrine and attacks on the Chinese Government. They were, in fact, a sheer political tool used by Falun Gong organization to expand its influence and spread cult and anti-China propaganda. They were an insult and distortion of the Chinese culture and a deception to the audience.
