I'm a Chinese national working in the US. I have never heard of this kind of punishment. Can you provide any evidence?

  Try becoming an activist, or attend a pro-HK freedom rally in the US.

    The post I replied to was specifically referring on the "employee actions". My argument was it's not reasonable to simply discard these employee's claim by somehow suggesting they are only acting because of the pressure from CCP. But the point you made is correct, activist's family could be punishment. edit: punishment -> punished

  My post was based on recollection of this article. China detains relatives of U.S. reporters in apparent punishment for Xinjiang coverage. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/china-detains-relatives-of-us-reporters-in-apparent-punishment-for-xinjiang-coverage/2018/02/27/4e8d84ae-1b8c-11e8-8a2c-1a6665f59e95_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/china-detains-relatives... While the specific context of this was related to journalists, I would certainly take pause with respect my actions at an employer likely to bump heads and attract the attention of that government. There is an escalation of tensions, with the US and China taking hard stances on vistor visas. It's not unreasonable to be concerned about other sanctions.
