The FBI has indicted Jin Xinjiang, an employee of Zoom, a web conferencing software based in China, for allegedly interfering with video conferences organized by the United China Alliance and the U.S. NGO Humane China.
Wang Dan, one of the leaders of the 1989 pro-democracy movement, also told the Washington Post that he was interfered with by Zoom when he used it to make calls about the Tiananmen pro-democracy movement meetings this year, saying, “Interfering with the freedom of speech of exiles already living in the United States is a serious infringement on the sovereignty of the United States, and the American people should be alert to the Chinese Communist Party’s threat to American democracy. “
The U.S. indictment notes that during a May 21 conversation between Jin Xinjiang and the Chinese side, Jin specifically mentioned a videoconference held the following day at a U.S. server, and Jin asked U.S. employees to take action. The event, which was valued by the Chinese side, was actually a video conference of the Alliance in Support of China, and Lee Cheuk-yan’s account was deactivated half an hour before the conference. Lee Cheuk-yan said the incident reflected that the Chinese Communist Party’s clutches to ban speech “have infiltrated U.S. technology companies,” he said, describing that the outside world cannot know exactly how many U.S. companies have been affected by the Chinese Communist Party, but the outside world can clearly see that the Chinese Communist Party has been organizing infiltration efforts in various places.
Humane China’s 31st anniversary of June 4 was held and interrupted on May 31, and founder Zhou Fenglock’s account was once deactivated afterwards. Zhou Fenglock told the newspaper yesterday that he was not satisfied with the current outcome, because the FBI and the Department of Justice’s prosecution is only the first step, and he hopes that later the U.S. Congress will propose amendments to legislation to prevent companies with operations in China from being controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, because this is actually a crackdown on the United States.
Zhou Fenglock also said that the incident could not be considered as the responsibility of one of Zoom’s former employees in China, but Zoom also had its own responsibility, and Zoom still has not apologized to him.
