In light of the recent @4corners expose on covert Chinese secret police activities in Australia, I feel it's important to once again highlight my recent encounters with PRC transnational repression. (Background: I wrote for @ASPI_org about China's minority populations, namely

Australian police assaulted me during a protest related to China two weeks ago. On top of minor injuries, the officers forcibly removed my wig. This experience was deeply violating and has ongoing safety implications for myself and others, making it easier for the Chinese

注意到我的用語是「去中國」嗎? 我現在的身分認知是 前中國人 被問是不是中國人我會答「以前是中國人」 上週末被當面叫漢奸 被拿來跟汪精衛做對比 我告知對方「漢奸」是建立在粗淺落後的民族主義上的概念 僅僅因為血統是漢族人不代表我這一生都要在每一件事情上一味服從漢族政府/共產黨的意願
