German journalist Jürgen Kremb thought he was safe from state surveillance after being expelled from China years ago. That changed when a suspected intelligence agent tracked him deep into the mountains of Taiwan.

Taiwan's Investigation Bureau just confirmed that Kremb, a veteran Der Spiegel correspondent researching state espionage at Soochow University, was systematically stalked in Alishan mountain. Surveillance footage captured a woman hiding behind parked cars and street corners before following his group directly into their hotel.

Kremb recognized the surveillance tactics immediately, picking up on her northern Chinese accent as she attempted to eavesdrop on private phone calls in the lobby. Within 48 hours of Taiwanese authorities opening a formal investigation, the suspect fled the island.

Taiwanese officials warned that the incident highlights a dangerous expansion of the Chinese Communist Party's transnational repression. Beijing is no longer just monitoring its own citizens, but actively hunting and harassing foreign researchers on foreign soil.

Key Quotes from Focus Taiwan:

“"China has begun engaging in transnational repression, targeting not only Chinese and Taiwanese people but also individuals who oppose totalitarianism and advocate democracy, freedom and human rights."”

I wholeheartedly believe the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong should end. They deserve to have their rights protected, but honestly they're not free of criticism, but that's a different story.

It looks like a harmless spiritual stuff, but they have a lot of pseudoscience, pseudohistorical claims, and many controversial claims.

My opinion is that they deserve the right to practice their beliefs, but it's still a strange cult. What about your opinion?
