John Yang:
Geoff, for several years now, Hong Kong has been cracking down on dissent at home.
A strict new security law was implemented in 2020, after nearly a year of pro-democracy protests. Since then, more than 260 people have been arrested, nearly all independent media shut down, and opposition candidates disqualified from elections. Now China is trying to extend the reach of its repression by targeting critics living in exile.
They have issued eight arrest warrants for scholars, pro-democracy activists, and former lawmakers no longer living in Hong Kong.
Elmer Yuen is named in one of those warrants. He's a Hong Kong businessman turned online commentator now living in the United States.
Mr. Yuen, the government accuses you of subversion, colluding with foreign forces, and they put a six-figure reward for your arrest. How does that — how do you feel? How do you react to that?
