Coward here, too. The perfidious thing is that even emigrating doesn't put you out of Xi Jinping's grasp. It's well documented how pressure is applied to vocal opponents of the new Leaders policies by going after their families in China.

Yep, happens in New Zealand on the regular. It's well known that all the local Chinese language newspapers toe the party line, and Chinese community groups (especially Skykiwi) are infiltrated by the CCP to a rather large extent, and if you're overly critical, well, hopefully you managed to get residence visas for 奶奶 / nǎi nai and 姥姥 / lǎo lao beforehand. Also, expect to be ostracised by the emigrant Chinese community. Oh, and even if you're not Chinese, but you're critical of China, well... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-curious-case-of-the-burgled-professor/LIFRYA3UBZNGCZPT45NB77KCY4/ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-curious-case-of-the-burgle...

  Didn't heard of any widespread anti-chinese progroms in Germany in early pandemic times, but I know a lot about German servility towards potential new masters. And their markets, of course. It's always a good idea to pull the racism card in Germany, especially against the truth. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3124849/childrens-book-pulped-over-claim-covid-19-originated-china https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3124849/ch... https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/covid-kids-book-pulped-after-china-complains https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/covid-kids-book-pulped-a... This example looks cute, but people can't even imagine what the propagandistic future of this cold war will look like.

  China’s reach extends into the Chinese emigrant communities in foreign lands. Some believe it’s because they are afraid of dissent organising abroad. https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/08/the-chinese-communist-party-is-still-afraid-of-sun-yat-sens-shadow/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/08/the-chinese-communist-p...
