They most definitely threaten close and extended family members if they don’t comply. That’s the only reason I can see so many people buckling. It’s one thing if you shame/hurt me, but I’d rather shut up before you take it out on anyone close to me.
Peng Shuai can easily come over for Wimbledon or an Olympics and ask for amnesty and get it. But her family are at the CCPs mercy if she does that.
‘We’ll find everyone in your family, your family’s family, and so on, you will never be in peace’. There’s nothing more effective than that.
- inglor_cz 5y agoWhen somebody defected from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, his/her relatives would be punished by being fired from good jobs and forbidden to take new ones; usually they had to do some harder and worse paid work. Unless they were members of the Party; in that case, their position was a bit shaken by a defection in family, but they usually could survive in place. And yeah, their kids were either banned from studying interesting majors, or at least their education became more complicated. This even concerned highly qualified people such as surgeons.

- powerapple 5y agoIf CCP is as you described, and Peng Shuai worry about her family, she wouldn't speak in the first place. There was nothing happening for her before she made the post online.
