Transnational repression

And by we, I mean, um, it should be every state and local government, but certainly the federal government to make sure the- that there's a system in place, that our postal service knows to, to help to make sure that any mail-in ballot out or coming in, um, has safeguards around it to make sure that it's, it's, again, one person, one vote, and that the one person who did vote is allowed to vote.

So shifting gears, uh, a topic that's very interested to us at The Epoch Times and our audiences is, uh, and you're doing a lot of case around this from what I can see, Chinese Communist Party espionage and also transnational repression cases.

So just, you know, Congressional Executive Commission on China has produced a report this summer showing all sorts of examples of transnational repression, and there's been...

I've, I've read a lot of instances that it's, for example, very difficult to, to identify in some cases because, for example, this last week, right, there you have all these people that are, uh, for example, uh, w- at- attacking some of the protesters against the visit, right? But, you know, are those people...

They're- they happen to be acting exactly in line with what the Chinese Communist Party would want, but are they acting at the direction of them?

She also recounted her husband's experience of being detained for nearly 22 hours in Malaysia and then deported back to the United States in March of this year.

She called on the U.S. Congress to continue to pay attention to her sister's case and issues such as forced labor, family separation, and transnational repression.

Events in Canada call for united resistance to communist transnational repression.

Practitioners staged a rally in Toronto's Queen's Park on September 19th to raise awareness of the repression of Falun Dafa in Canada.

As the persecution of the practice by the CCP has extended beyond China, the communists have set up secret police stations in Canada, interfered with practitioners' activities, threatened practitioners' relatives in China, and coerced Canadian theaters into canceling Shen Yun performances through such underhanded means as bomb threats.

Practitioners also held an impressive parade, drawing attention to the events.

Many people along the route stopped to watch and some took photos.

People from all walks of life were urged to reject the communist transnational repression and to defend Canada's human rights and freedom.

Yeah.

And they've had transnational repression happen to them here-

Yes

... or will.

Yes, this means that they were deliberately sent there from China to intimidate and harass us When the police searched one of the assaulter's bags, they found mace.

These thugs were sent by Xi to stalk, harass, attack, intimidate, and most importantly deter us from protesting.

This is what transnational repression looks like, but we will never stop resisting.

We were there to be seen.

If you travel to China, Beijing may take you hostage as leverage in diplomatic negotiations.

And if you are an American belonging to a minority group, Persecuted by China, you may be subject to the CCP's transnational repression.

One of the prime examples of transnational repression is China's ethnic unity law.

It's a policy that forces all Chinese citizens to conform to the CCP's views on history, ethnicity, culture and religion.

The Chinese Communist Party and ruling government of the People's Republic of China does not see their people as citizens.

Coming up, that's going to be a bit of a test of his administration.

One thing that I really hope that we would see, though, is an absence of the terrible transnational repression that occurred the last time Xi Jinping was in the United States.

And if we go back to November of 2023, at the apex summit in in uh san francisco you had peaceful protesters these are americans lawful permanent residents uh people that are of chinese descent but also uyghurs and tibetans they've gotten permits to protest the she visit and the um you had thugs united front uh organizations that were directed by the consulates in san francisco and los angeles uh attack them The Washington Post did an excellent expose of that, naming names.

And I think this underscores a problem that we have.

Yet repeatedly, I think we've failed to see action taken.

I think we are starting to see some traction even in states.

You know, Texas has passed a bill on a law on transnational repression and addressing that.

And that's a positive.
