Beijing’s systematic theft of Western technology has resulted in a growing skepticism toward Chinese nationals in the international community. They are increasingly seen as potential allies or agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). With Western vigilance against CCP influence overseas on the rise, the Chinese community finds itself increasingly isolated, amplifying distrust from Western institutions.
One factor behind that distrust is coercion from the CCP, which follows Chinese even after they leave China seeking new lives in the West. Analysts suggest that for Chinese individuals to avoid manipulative tactics and integrate into Western society, they must first draw clear boundaries with the CCP.
