It's been pointed out to me that the Shen Yun show is in fact soft power from the Falun Gong movement, rather than the Chinese government (who they oppose). I suspect it may end up serving both causes in fact. As Titus Alexansder says:
"I don’t know if the show contains explicit anti-government propaganda, but I suspect not or its too oblique to be noticed and does more for the government than not – just as Hollywood films condemned as unamerican probably did more good for the USA than House Committee on Un-American Activities."
