Transcript ｜ Chinese Censorship in American
Our top story; the U.S. going after Chinese censorship on American campuses.
A prison sentence doled out for silencing Chinese dissidents on U.S. campuses.
U.S. prosecutors sentenced a former Chinese student at Berkeley College of Music to 9 months in prison plus 3 years of supervised released Wednesday. That’s because he threatened to chop off an activist’s hands, all because she posted flyers supporting democracy for China on campus.
- Any comment on the case?
No, thank you.
The goal is to send a message; that the U.S. will not tolerate China’s efforts to silence critics.
The Chinese student is named Xiaolei Wu. In 2022 he threatened an activist after she posted a flyer on Berkeley’s campus demanding freedom and democracy in China.
Wu later messaged her, daring her to post more, threatening to chop her hands off if she did.
In a statement, acting attorney for the District of Massachusetts said Wu’s threats achieve the goal of instilling fear to silence the victim and others who wish to speak out. Adding censorship and repression campaigns will never be tolerated in the U.S.
