Thank you.
Now, in preparing the report, interviews and surveys with 25 Chinese, Hong Kong, Taiwanese, Tibetan, Uyghur and Falun Gong community leaders and activists were conducted. Page 15 of the report notes the following: “Almost all of the respondents to our survey reported experiencing or observing harassment or intimidation connected to PRC transnational repression objectives.”
Let's look at those numbers. For harassment, it's 19 out of 25 leaders; 18 leaders identify intimidation as occurring in their experience; for surveillance, it's 12 out of 25; and for online threats, it's 10 out of 25 cases of community leaders. It would seem to me that these results reinforce what we've heard from CSIS, law enforcement and national security experts—namely, that Beijing's transnational repression activities are pervasive, coordinated and widespread. Targeted communities are experiencing what is a serious threat on a regular basis.
Can you speak to this?
