In special coverage of the 24th anniversary of the Persecution of Falun Gong in China, host Evelyn Li engages in a gripping interview with Benedict Rogers, Co-founder and Chief Executive of Hong Kong Watch and author of “The China Nexus.”
The conversation focuses on the recent uncovering of covert Chinese police stations worldwide, and the apparent slow and weak responses from Western democracies. Rogers attributes this to an economic-driven reluctance to upset Beijing. The discussion sheds light on China’s intimidation tactics, such as threatening family members of activists and leveraging espionage.
Lastly, Rogers shares his optimistic view on the public becoming increasingly aware of China’s propaganda, although he believes more work is needed to translate this awareness into effective political action.
