HRW Warns of China’s Growing Political Repression in Japan

Human Rights Watch warns that China's political repression is extending beyond its borders, particularly targeting Chinese nationals in Japan, including minorities from Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia. Chinese authorities use "transnational repression" to silence critics abroad, with some individuals receiving threats via family members or through apps like WeChat. Those promoting Tibetan culture or advocating for Uyghur rights are often pressured to stop. HRW urges Japan to stand against these actions, which Beijing denies, claiming it respects other nations' sovereignty and citizens' rights.
