Overseas Critics Brave Chinese Intimidation Tactics, Defying Silence
Chinese Government’s Attempts to Suppress Information Led to a Global Outcry
According to NBC News, people who criticize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from outside China are facing more problems recently. Even those living abroad are being targeted by Chinese authorities. The Chinese government does things to make people scared to criticize them. They use threats, harassment and online spying. Some people stop talking because they are scared but others still speak up. Like, there’s a scientist in the U.S. who said Chinese police asked her family questions because she said things against the government online. She told everyone her story to show she’s not scared of their ways to make her quiet.
