Threatening the families of separatist activists is definitely wrong and despicable, but it's very different from what we're discussing here. I haven't heard of any cases similar to the type of scenario you're suggesting.
- GenericsMotors 7y agoI can't see how you think there's absolutely no connection here. The Chinese government has demonstrated very clearly it will coerce their citizens' compliance - they're not going to be immune to this just by not being activists. If you have something they want - or are able to do something they want - it's quite obvious they will use your family as leverage.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoThat hasn't been demonstrated. You're citing the treatment of Chinese people abroad who are affiliated with CIA-funded separatist organizations and drawing conclusions about how random people working for tech companies will be treated. I don't think these situations are analogous.
- GenericsMotors 7y agoI guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
