Freedom House Report: China’s Transnational Persecution of Human Rights Tops Global List
Freedom House, a U.S.-based human rights organization, released a report entitled “Out of Sight, Not Out of Reach,” revealing that the Chinese Communist Party is targeting many groups, including Uighurs and human rights defenders, in a global, transnational crackdown that far exceeds the scope and scale of other countries.
According to Freedom House’s report, the CCP authorities have conservatively recorded 214 cases of direct physical attacks, far more than in any other country. “Freedom House calls on governments not to take for granted that dealing with the CCP will not involve human rights persecution and consequences.
The report describes the methods used by the CCP as ranging from direct threats such as rendition, to cooperation with other countries to detain and deport exiles, to operational control, to remote threats such as cyber threats, spyware, and threats by proxy.
The threat to global freedom is growing as the CCP’s authoritarian repressive tactics affect other countries.
The report also cites Uighurs, Hong Kongers, Singaporeans, Taiwanese and U.S. citizens, human rights defenders, journalists, overseas Tibetans, and Inner Mongolians as examples of varying degrees of persecution and repression by the CCP.
The report “Invisible, but Conceivable” notes that the CCP has used the full range of human rights abuses, including direct attacks, influencing other countries to engage in interactions, mobile device control, distant threats, assassinations, raids, physical threats, accidental disappearances, detentions, illegal deportations, Interpol abuses, passport document control, coercion by proxy, digital threats, and spyware.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind reminds governments that despite the CCP’s efforts to create an image of legitimacy, governments and companies should not take for granted that human rights abuses and consequences are not involved in their interactions with the CCP.
U.S. Intel Exposes CCP’s Next Move: Political Murder, Cyberattack…
The Chinese Communist Party began implementing a ban on the importation of Taiwan pineapples on March 1, which is seen by outsiders as using the economic card to suppress Taiwan. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) former intelligence officer Henley (Lonnie Henley) even broke the news that the Chinese Communist Party’s strategic means, not only to combat the economy, but also to use political murder, cyber attacks.
According to a report by Taiwan’s New Head Shell, based on Germany‘s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Henley pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party prefers to force Taiwan through “economic means, supplemented by military threats” rather than direct military force against Taiwan.
And if the Chinese Communist Party risks attacking Taiwan by force, it will face a huge price of failure.
Henley revealed that the Chinese Communist Party could also use political assassination, cyber attacks, the occupation of Jinma, or a non-comprehensive air attack on Taiwan. He said that these means used by China are non-comprehensive methods of warfare, and the verdict is still out on whether they will be effective in unifying Taiwan.
However, most observers say outright that the CCP’s use of these means would instead allow other countries to target CCP issue allies, and that most of the Taiwanese public would resent this and would be less inclined to unify with the CCP once Taiwan is attacked by China.
