    Where is Peng Shuai

    Yale University’s student newspaper publishes an anonymous article from a Chinese student calling on the Yale endowment to end its investments in China due to the gross human rights abuses perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party.  The editors of the student newspaper took the unusual step of granting anonymity based on the right threat they assessed that the student’s family would be under if they published it with the student’s name.

    As Beijing Takes Control, Chinese Tech Companies Lose Jobs and Hope

    In the midst of a campaign for ironclad market authority, the CCP appears willing to cripple the economy it is attempting to bring under its control. Nowhere is this phenomenon clearer than in the Chinese technology sector, writes Li Yuan for The New York Times. From e-commerce giant Alibaba to Didi, the flourishing ride-hailing service, few major technology firms have managed to evade the careful and ruthless gaze of government regulators. The consequences of this crackdown are far reaching—and risk undercutting a key ingredient of the economic expansion Beijing strives to sustain. Across the Chinese mainland, the government has rendered entrepreneurs timid. Increasingly, founders and executives have shunned exciting and lucrative consumer opportunities for development in industries deemed more acceptable to the CCP. In the meantime, their firms are shedding workers and casting countless employees out of jobs. by Li Yuan

    Germany Nervously Tests the Indo-Pacific Waters

    ·       As a new government settles in at home, Germany finds itself undertaking an awkward naval deployment in the high-tension Indo-Pacific theater. Since its dispatch in August, the German frigate Bayern has been transiting regional waterways in an exercise which has “created more questions than it has answered” and offers a strikingly appropriate encapsulation of the current crossroads facing policymakers in Berlin, argues Blake Herzinger in Foreign Policy. German officials appear unable to strike a common chord towards Beijing—and Bayern appears handicapped by this indecision. While any deployment to the Indo-Pacific raises raises eyebrows in Beijing, and Germany has stated its commitment to the “Democratic Camp,” Berlin has refused to direct Bayern through contested waterways in a stark departure from courses charted by other western naval ships. Just as this deployment appears lacking in its efficacy, so, too, are German efforts to balance an increasingly cold relationship between Beijing and its closest Western allies. by Blake Herzinger

    Elite Capture: A CCP Primer in Making Friends and Influencing People

    America's elites love to talk about China's '5000 years of civilization', but such language - which could come straight from the pages of the China Daily - serves to amplify Beijing's talking points. In this way and due to their own business dealings with China, some American elites are helping Beijing grow more powerful. In his book, America Second: How America's Elites Are Making China Stronger, journalist Isaac Stone Fish zeroes in on the case of the former US secretary of State Henry Kissinger, casting him as an agent of Chinese influence.

    #StopXinjiangRumors: the CCP’s decentralised disinformation campaign

    The Chinese Communist Party employs American and Chinese social media platforms to wage a disinformation campaign against those who are seeking to shed light on Beijing’s genocide against Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The hashtag, #StopXinjiangRumors is used to organize an astroturf campaign of supposedly Uyghur voices speaking out about how much good the Chinese Communist Party is doing in Xinjiang. by Jake Wallis and Albert Zhang

    US Alleges ‘Transnational Repression’ Scheme Involving China’s Secret Police

    Shannon Tiezzi details the three separate cases the U.S. Justice Department announced this week charging five individuals with “stalking, harassing, and spying on U.S. residents on behalf of the PRC secret police.” One case involved an effort to interfere with a Chinese dissident that is running for Congress, one case involved individuals spying on activists for issues sensitive to the CCP, and the last case involved attempts to harass a 16-year-old Olympian who is the daughter of a Tiananmen protester who immigrated to the United States. Despite the fact that the Justice Department ended the “China Initiative” a month ago, these three cases were resourced and prioritized under the “China Initiative.” by Shannon Tiezzi
