France: La Gaîté Lyrique Théâtre [The Lyrical Gaiety] – Demonstrates Solidarity with the Belleville Park Youth Collective [Collectif des Jeunes du Parc de Belleville]! (17.1.2025)

Due to the occupation of the building, and in the absence of solutions proposed by the competent authorities, the Gaîté Lyrique is currently unable to maintain the conditions allowing the reception of the public in its spaces. The decision has been taken to keep the building closed: scheduled events are cancelled, postponed or relocated to partner venues until further notice.

Shen Yi, a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai and a leading expert on cyberspace governance studies, said, “U.S. intelligence agencies have a typical behavioural pattern in hyping cybersecurity governance and national security issues, which is fabricating facts using false and inaccurate information, and fabricating so-called cyberattacks by other countries.”

The objective is to hype security threats and create anxiety, Shen added.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned a Beijing-based cybersecurity company, accusing it of helping Chinese hackers infiltrate U.S. telecommunication systems and conduct surveillance.
