Die chinesische Führung verfolgt ihre Kritiker zunehmend auch außerhalb der eigenen Landesgrenzen, wie neue Recherchen zeigen. Wer eine kritische Meinung über chinesische Politik äußert, soll mundtot gemacht werden – egal wo auf der Welt. Und wenn Dissidenten sich dem nicht beugen, gerät ihre Familie in China ins Visier.

00:00Tsai Jiahui is a Chinese dissident living in the U.S.
00:03Even while he's in America, Chinese authorities have tried to silence him by pressuring his family at home.
00:30Tsai left China in 2023 after police ordered him to stop criticizing the government's draconian coronavirus lockdown measures.
00:41Since moving to the U.S., Tsai has denounced Xi Jinping's authoritarian regime at protests around the country.
00:47The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and its media partners have interviewed dozens of people who, like Tsai, are victims of China's transnational repression.
01:05ICIJ's China Targets investigation sheds new light on the government's effort to crush any form of dissent.
01:10Internal Chinese government records, including domestic security guidelines, reveal new details on the playbook for China's repression beyond its borders.
01:19The targets include political dissidents and oppressed minorities like Tibetans and Uyghurs.
01:24It's not just, you know, official government entities or, you know, government officials engaging in transnational repression.
01:31We also have examples of the CCP mobilizing grassroots and civil society diasporanizations to harass and intimidate pro-democracy activists.
01:42The Chinese government also uses the police organization Interpol and international institutions such as the United Nations to go after regime critics.
01:50As we've seen internal repression grow within China, we've also seen external repression grow against individuals in the diaspora who the Xi administration views as threats.
02:00Authorities in many hosting nations have failed to protect the victims from China's long reach.
02:05In some cases, ICIJ found that law enforcement in foreign countries arrested dissidents who were protesting peacefully against Xi's regime.
02:13Liberal democracies have not done enough to actually address the problem of transnational repression.
02:18It's had a chilling effect on the ability of people to actually stand up and call out Chinese state abuses.
02:24Broadly, this also has an impact on civil society and democratic institutions within liberal democracies.
02:31I think I've been to the United States and I've been to the United States.
