China's Transnational Repression Is Being Met with a Deafening Silence
The article reports on the detention of US citizen and Myanmar-born scholar Min Zin by Chinese authorities on espionage charges, which the author argues are baseless and stem from his critical research on China's investments in Myanmar and Beijing's support for the military junta. It frames this case as part of a broader, sophisticated Chinese transnational repression campaign, citing Freedom House data on 319 physical incidents since 2014, covert police stations abroad, and the use of Operation Fox Hunt to pressure dissidents. The author criticizes the Trump administration for prioritizing trade relations over defending detained Americans and calls for sanctions and clearer travel advisories.
