Deep Dive
Why has the number of Chinese seeking asylum abroad surged under Xi Jinping's leadership?
The number of Chinese seeking asylum abroad has surged due to increasing political repression, censorship, and human rights violations under Xi Jinping's leadership. From 2012 to 2024, over 1.158 million Chinese citizens have sought asylum overseas, with 116,338 fleeing in 2022 alone. This figure surpasses the total number of asylum seekers during Hu Jintao's decade-long tenure.
What methods has China employed to infiltrate Taiwan's military and government?
China has used multiple methods to infiltrate Taiwan, including collaborating with gangs, establishing shell companies, and exploiting unethical partners. The Chinese intelligence system targets both active and retired Taiwanese military personnel to gather defense and government-sensitive information. In 2024, 15 retired and 28 active military personnel were prosecuted for espionage, accounting for 23% and 43% of total espionage cases, respectively.
What is the significance of the recent major espionage case involving Taiwanese military officers?
The recent espionage case highlights China's intensified efforts to infiltrate Taiwan's military. A retired Taiwanese army officer, Qu Hongyi, was recruited by Chinese intelligence in 2019 to develop a network of retired soldiers. The group collected sensitive military information, including coordinates of key locations like the American Institute in Taiwan and military bases, and even drafted plans for establishing an internal armed force to support China's unification efforts.
How has China benefited economically from the Russia-Ukraine war?
China has significantly benefited economically from the Russia-Ukraine war by increasing trade with Russia. Despite international sanctions, China's total trade with Russia reached a record 1.7 trillion yuan in 2024. This surge in trade has allowed China to exploit Russia's isolation and strengthen its economic ties with Moscow.
What was the reaction of Xi Jinping to economist Gao Shanwen's criticism of China's economic data?
Xi Jinping was reportedly furious after economist Gao Shanwen publicly questioned the reliability of China's GDP growth data during a forum in Washington. Gao estimated China's actual GDP growth to be around 2%, significantly lower than the official 5%. In response, Xi ordered an investigation and disciplinary action against Gao, highlighting the government's sensitivity to criticism of its economic management.
