It's so frustrating and upsetting to see and hear these targeted smear campaigns against your organization. The very fact that you have been banned from performing in China should raise alarm bells for journalists, reporters, and news agencies. Sadly, many media outlets have become more interested in getting clicks and likes through sensational headlines and divisive reporting designed to stir up emotion, controversy, and pit people against each other/coerce people to "gang up" on particular organizations, communities, and even individuals. Often, those who are targeted are the ones doing actual "good" in the world by promoting true unity through sharing cultures, traditions, stories, and other artistic expressions.
Your organization and your musical/dance/artistic performance is beautiful! What you do and share greatly enhances communication, encourages conversations and helps to break down barriers and beliefs that otherwise encourage/create segregation and separation of peoples.
I would be willing to bet that many of the news organizations and/or many of the reporters get "gifts" from China and Hong Kong (post CCP takeover), much like many of our universities and other institutions do. Easier to silence the dissidents and keep the narrative going in the favor of authoritarian regimes by doling out bribes to suppress the truth and confuse/misdirect people about where to "focus" their attention.
You certainly don't see a lot of news coverage about Tibet, the Uyghurs, or Falun Gong members who have been exploited for decades—forced sterilization, organ harvesting, slave labor, and so on. Better to give large sums of money to people and buy them off by dangling shiny things in their faces to keep them from reporting truth.
