You probably heard about China's disinformation and online harassment campaigns using ChatGPT, as revealed in a new report from OpenAI. Interesting to see their ongoing campaign against both SD and some of its individual staff continues, now with the help of AI.

头等舱:我被遣返出中国的经历 以下为保护卫士负责人彼得·达林撰写的个人评论文章。就在昨天,整整十年前,我被中国遣返,并依据《反间谍法》被禁止入境,这标志着我在中国秘密监狱指定居所监视居住(简称指居)中的那段地狱般经历的结束。中国的人权捍卫者们曾讲述过他们被拘押、遭受酷刑和被监禁的故事,一些外国人也公开谈论或写下了自己在指居中的经历或被迫进行电视认罪的遭遇——但几乎没有人讲述过被遣返回国这一经历。在曾深度卷入我这场“闹剧”的…

昨天正好是保护卫士负责人彼得·达林从 #指定居所监视居住 中获释、在武装押送和一系列精心安排的“表演”下被驱逐出境,并被禁止入境满 10 周年的日子。为纪念这一时刻,特此分享一篇关于较少被讨论的“驱逐出境”过程的短篇故事。

Last year #China tripled the number of #Taiwanese citizens it disappeared (at least 178 in 2025 from 55 a year earlier). The danger of arbitrary detention in #China is real and growing.

Prepare yourself, or the people you send to China for work.
