"As Washington and Beijing engage more and more in geopolitical competition, we should not lose sight of the passionate longing for freedom that people in China still hold. We should support their aspirations at every opportunity." Me testifying @SFRCdems: foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

This is exactly the kind of stuff I feared would emerge from the Huang spy saga. It won’t really affect the extremely privileged people on this list, but the insinuations it makes could have real consequences for ordinary people in similar relationships.

Seeing a flood of stories and photos, real or fake, about the alleged Chinese spy in the Nvidia case. Countering espionage is a legitimate national security priority. But the frenzy is concerning. A climate of suspicion can have consequences far beyond the individuals involved.

The Huang spy case is dominating headlines. Let's not forget: The CCP also targets activists, critics and persecuted minorities in their influence operations abroad, often with far more coercive tactics. Those victims get a fraction of the attention—and far less protection.

To those newly elected to positions of political power in the U.S.: educate yourselves about cases like these. Understand what they reveal about the CCP, and make sure that understanding informs your decisions on China.

Joshua Wong's 10-year sentence is appalling. But this is also worthy of attention: Au Kam San, a teacher-turned-lawmaker who served in Macao legislature for 20 years /made only mild criticisms against the govt, was given a 12½ years sentence in city's 1st national security case.
