On 9 June, executives at Ujazdowski Castle, a museum in Warsaw, expressed their “concern and astonishment” after the Chinese ambassador entered the museum and demanded the exhibition by Chinese artist Badiucao to be closed down. On 12 June, Yao Dongye visited the museum a second time to repeat his demand. Chinese-Australian artist Badiucao uses art to explore censorship and human rights abuses in China, including the manipulation of historical memory about the Tiananmen massacre, the forced cultural assimilation of Uyghurs, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and China’s position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    CCP has it’s hands everywhere, unfortunately. There are even “Chinese police stations” in western countries. Saw a documentary in the German language recently about a chinese citizen in Germany recieving death threats by such police on a regular basis.

      For anyone else who was curious about it, you can find the documentary on their youtube channel and it has working English subtitles!

      Edit: actually scratch that, Piped has subtitles too, just click on the three dots and you’ll find the English Captions option there too.

        I already linked the documentary in my comment. I linked it with Piped, a privacy respecting YouTube frontend that also supports subtitles.

          OOhh, I didn’t notice! The are English CCs/subtitles on Piped!
          My bad, didn’t see the options, that’s why I looked for another source in the first place.

    These CCP clowns still don’t understand freedom of expression and never will.
