various cultural activities among the elite

It would be fantastic for abstract and surreal reasons if the corporate poetry generated as part of this tax avoidance scam was set to music and played by this orchestra consisting entirely of senior Chinese communists. 

Not just senior communists. The 'Three Highs' orchestra also has an ex taikonaut on the trombone: he slides that thing against a rocking accordion section consisting of the apparat's top ethnic Mongolian and the Party Secretary of Shanghai.

I have to admit I don't quite get this one. I can have a few guesses, but I can't quite see how you can argue there's enough nominal value in poetry to generate a tax write off.

And if they're arguing that the losses generated on selling the book are from a trade with a view to profit, since when has poetry been profitable?

is it possibly an attempt to shore up the dubious charitable status of something?
