Frances Hui Wing-ting, a Hong Kong exile currently living in the United States, is the first pro-democracy activist from Hong Kong to be granted political asylum in the United States. She shared her experiences organizing rallies in Boston in support of pro-democracy activities in Hong Kong in 2019, and facing threats and intimidation from pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) figures.

One of the key figures behind these threats, Liang Litang, the president of the New England Alliance for Peaceful Unification of China (NEAPUC), was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in May 2023. He is charged with illegally acting as an agent of a foreign government. The indictment alleges that he organized protests against Hong Kong residents at the direction of CCP officials.
