For those going, "well, what is the Chinese government going to do, compared to Facebook?" Or saying, well, Facebook does the same thing right?
Well... potentially kidnap you and bring you to China, if you don't comply. They supposedly "convinced" 230,000 Chinese nationals from April 2021 to July 2022 to "voluntarily" return to China to face criminal charges, complete with over 54 "international police stations" and a new law, going into effect this December, claiming extraterritorial authority over their "citizens" for certain crimes.
This, along with other incidents, show that China is more than willing to harass people outside their country, at a minimum.

- gjsman-1000 4y agoExtraordinary rendition is still a legal procedure, done in courts from both countries. China's alleged activities do not even talk or rely on authority from their own courts, let alone another country's.
- waffleiron 4y agoThats not true, read the Abu Omar case. This was not done legally using the courts of both countries.
- stormbrew 4y agoYou seem to be confusing extradition and extraordinary rendition? The former is a legal process built on treaties. The latter is a euphamism for a kind of government kidnapping to circumvent legal restrictions, hence the "extraordinary."
