Highly doubt it. The government view is that Communism IS the religion of China. Of the older population 49% are Taoist, and 49% of Buddhist, 1% Christian and 1% Muslum. Many of the younger folks have fallen for the "communism is our religion" motto. UGH.

There will be dances and opera performance. Some of the characters are based on legends and Chinese mythology. I am sure the monkey god will be on stage.
