A prominent Chinese American author and longtime pro-democracy activist is urging the U.S. government and public to confront Beijing’s escalating campaign of transnational repression—one that increasingly targets Shen Yun Performing Arts and the spiritual group Falun Gong on American soil.

Drawing from his own experience after editing a book on the Tiananmen Square massacre, Jiang Pinchao shed light on how far the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is willing to go to silence dissent within and beyond China’s borders.
