    Yes, the CCP is notorious for being super friendly when persuading people. They would never ever threaten a person’s entire family to get people to step in line.

    Grabbing a person off the streets and throwing them into a van isn’t the only method of kidnapping.

      Pg. 18 of the full report, linked in the post:

      Ye is the former mayor of Chuanliao Town Government in Qingtian County, Zhejiang. Accused of bribery, he fled to Milan, Italy, in July 2001.

      In December 2014, the Zhejiang Public Security Department and the Protectorate sent a joint working group to Italy and Spain to carry out persuade to return operations of fugitives from the Lishui and Wenzhou areas.

      After being persuaded face-to-face by the working group, Ye flew back to China with the working group to surrender himself on December 23, 2014.

      Not only is there no evidence of what you’re suggesting, but this anti-China group’s own report paints a pretty mundane picture.

      Their strategy is to create an unfalsifiable position:

      1. Print a bunch of “China Bad” bullshit, like this report.
      2. People skim the headlines and think “China Bad.”
      3. Other people read the report and point out how the facts presented don’t show anything objectionable.
      4. The first group thinks “but we all know China Bad, so I’ll just read that into the facts, no matter how tame they are.”
