Chinese student activists in Canada face threats, harassment from Beijing

Some Chinese students studying in Canada report that they are being targeted by Beijing, according to CBC. A report from Amnesty International released in May noted that many Chinese international students live in fear and feel that they must censor themselves in their activism due to the risk of potential repercussions from the Chinese state. CBC spoke to several Chinese students and alumni who shared experiences of receiving threatening messages, bullying, and social media infiltration due to their activism. Ontario Tech University Academic Associate Dennis Molinaro said that Canada is limited in what it can do to protect Chinese students from pressure from Beijing.
