    Yes, the reason diaspora isn’t speaking out against China is because there’s a conspiracy to silence them.~

    There can’t possibly be any other explanation.~

        No, clearly the Chinese government has your family hostage and that’s why you aren’t out protesting.~ Didn’t you read the article? 😏

      As someone who legitimately has family in China and who visits them and speaks to them in Mandarin, there is 100% a chilling effect caused by CCP autocracy.

      But I am eager to hear how a bunch of people who have never been and don’t speak the language know more about this because they read a pamphlet.

        Yeah, as someone who merely visited I got enough eyefulls and earfulls to know you don’t want the Chinese government to know you exist for any reason.
