I can give you two short examples.
One, personally, is an account of people within my circle who flipped 180 degrees when it became international news, folks who wanted to actually be part of my slate—I'm sure you folks are aware, with elections—because I was running for president. So there was a 180-degree turn, asking me for actual statements about what my stance was on Tibet. That was my personal experience, knowing that they, themselves, were facing intimidation of their families back home.
Number two, in 2017 I organized an event at the U of T downtown with Lobsang Sangay, who is the former CEO of the Central Tibetan Administration. Overnight we had students show up, protesting against the event. But then when I questioned them and welcomed them inside the event, they chose not to and said they had no information about why they were there. It was as simple as that.
