Joseph refused to cooperate with the CCP agents. In early 2020 while Joseph was applying for
asylum in South Korea, he was found hanging on a tree in a mountainous area in the suburb of
Seoul, South Korea. This is a clear though tragic example of the CCP’s transnational repression in
foreign soil. CCP must be held accountable for Joseph’s death.
3.2)CCP’s repression against China Aid staff members. Since 2012, at least five China Aid former
staff members were arbitrarily detained while traveling in China to visit their family. They were
all naturalized American citizens. Their American passports were confiscated and they had to apply
for approval for out of town travel before they can return to America. They were all asked to spy
on China Aid and our work. One of them was even forced to surrender at Chinese consulate in
Houston (now closed) in order to sign a written deal committing to spy for China in exchange for
a Chinese visa to visit his aged parents in China.
3.3)CCP hired agents directly involving violence against Chinese dissidents from New York to San
Francisco.
On July 11, 2019, when a group of Chinese dissidents held a public welcome ceremony in front of
a hotel in Manhattan New York City for President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, the CCP hired agents
violently beaten these dissidents under daylight. Five dissidents were hospitalized because of the
injuries they had. No one had been held accountable for that incident. (

During the APEC summit in San Francisco November 15-17, 2023, CCP organized a well
orchestrated systematic effort with violent assaults on Chinese dissidents who protested against
Chinese leader Xi Jinping's visit. Despite Human rights organizations and activists in the United
States are calling for a federal probe, so far no substantial actions have been taken by any local,
state or federal law enforcement agencies. (https://apnews.com/article/anti-chinese-protesters-sanfrancisco-apec-16c9ce2d81ec54a818e341e46b2a0c44 )
3.4) Transnational Persecution of Li Chuanliang and his family members:
Li Chuanliang, born on September 27, 1963, served as deputy mayor of Jixi City Government and
deputy mayor of Hegang City Government in Heilongjiang Province before resigning from public
office in May 2014. In 2020, he joined the Chinese Democratic Party (CCP). In China, Mr. Li
repeatedly. publicly reported corruption among CCP leaders and cadres. He also insisted on
freedom of speech and made political statements regarding the CCP's concealment of the Wuhan
virus, which had caused a heavy death toll among the people. Thus, CCP authorities suppressed
and persecuted him.
In August 2020, in solidarity with Hong Kong, as Mr. Li adhered to the political view of advancing
democracy and freedom in China as well as in the United States, he participated and carried out
various pro-democracy campaigns against the CCP’s tyranny. Particularly since August 19, 2020,
he publicly accepted special interviews from various media, including Radio Free Asia, Epoch
Times newspaper, New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV), Vision Times newspaper, and China
Forbidden News, etc. Using his real name, Mr. Li publicly announced that he relinquished his
membership in the CCP. He also disclosed the truth of the Party’s concealment of the Wuhan virus.
Mr. Li revealed the fact that CCP authorities arbitrarily arrested dissidents. He criticized the CCP’s
various tyranny routes, dating back to the Cultural Revolution, and exposed the CCP’s tyranny
system, as well as the tyranny of the political and legal king of northeast China. He initiated the
work of "China Torture Officials Whistleblower Center (CTOWC)."
