Comment on China abducted its own citizens on EU territory, report finds

Report by “Safeguard Defenders” formerly “China Action”… website here if you want to see a bunch of “HOLY SHIT CHINA BAD” stuff…

Human rights NGO Safeguard Defenders first revealed in 2022 that China operates more than 120 illegal police offices in 53 countries around the world, including around 50 in the EU.

Wasn’t this deemed super false? Those “police offices” were just outreach centers for Chinese nationals needing help filling out paperwork or being tracked down to remind them to fill out paperwork?

China in just one year as part of a special campaign in which the threat of collective punishment was also used as a means of persuasion.

Nowhere in the article does it source any of these claims. Doesn’t even link to the “report”

…Chinese indiciduals who…

heheh… misspelled “individuals”…

From the Safeguard Defenders website where the .pdf for the report is located. The first two sentences reframes things differently from the EuroNews linked article.

Just around Christmas last year, China’s global hunt for “fugitives” hit a new milestone. Since its launch in 2014 as part of Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign, 10,000 are claimed to have been successfully returned from over 120 countries around the globe under Sky Net (and junior partner Fox Hunt) operations…

Its not JUST Chinese citizens, its people that that the Chinese government is claiming have broken the law and fled the country.

Also… the EuroNews article says the report is 169 pages long, the .pdf from Safeguard Defenders is only 69 pages long.

I mean… sure, if you want to make an argument about how the Chinese government may or may not be following extradition treaties/laws to have people accused of criminal activity brought back to the country to stand trial, you can make that argument. Framing it as “Chinese government kidnaps citizens traveling abroad!!!” is wildly inaccurate.
