The wall street journal is reporting that china has threatened to detain american citizens if its academics are prosecuted in the United States several chinese academics with undisclosed ties to the military were arrested in recent months theyre accused of lying on their visa applications in order to conduct industrial espionage china has reacted to the report saying it will ensure the safety for residents we may be why alleging that foreign citizens are being arbitrarily detained in china the u. S. Is calling white black and its trying to play the victim here its trying to find excuses to justify its damage of chinese citizens legitimate rights and interests chinas been ensuring the safety and interests of foreign citizens in china as long as they abide by chinese law and regulations they have nothing to worry about. Well as cross live thats a beijing work actually u. S. Stands and by katrina whats prompted the stern response from china. Well time is for misuse Spokes Person wanting to a question about a recent wall street journal article that was published over the weekend which is reporting that Chinese Government officials have been warning their counterparts in the u. S. That if this socalled persecution of chinese academics in the u. S. Does not stop then u. S. Nationals in china may find themselves on the wrong side of the law and essentially may be detained in response so this seems to be quite a reckoning message and intimidation in order to sort of warn the u. S. And for force them rather to stop persecuting chinese nationals in the u. S. We know in the u. S. Has been quite a crackdown due to security concerns on chinese academics at least 5 have been arrested and charged for failing to acknowledge their connection to chinas military we also know that about 1000. 00 chinese academics in the u. S. Have had their visas revoked also due to some security suspicions or concerns one of those academics who was detained was named tung joined she took refuge earlier in the San Francisco chinese consulate before being arrested and detained now this whole fiasco involving these 5 chinese academics has been a huge point of embarrassment for china and as weve heard earlier from jolly jen its what theyre calling political persecution saying that the u. S. Is crying victim for what they think has been a sort of fight started by the u. S. Itself now what is interesting about what chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson said today he said he did not flat out deny that there would be a response or some Richard Boucher or impact on u. S. Nationals here in china he didnt flat out deny that laura he did say that foreign nationals in china are protected as long as they do follow the law katrina how seriously shoots the u. S. Take this threats of retaliation from china. Well there was no confirmation from chinas Foreign Ministry that they had been sending this message to the u. S. But if these reports are to believed in as it is quite serious according to the wall street journal these messages were repeatedly sent to the u. S. Government via various channels including to the u. S. Embassy in beijing now this is the case then there should there be some concern for u. S. Nationals in china now china has always maintained that it protects all the foreign nationals and the expats who are living here and in china but china has at the same time been accused by many governments of hostage diplomacy we do know that for example there are 2 canadians who are currently have been detained in china since the end of 2018 and these 2 canadians michael coverage and michael stable were detained directly almost after the detention of monk one joe the chinese weiwei executive in canada now china has said that these cases are not directly linked but its hard not to imagine terms of the timing of those cases that they are some sort of retribution for the treatment of long one joe and 4th michael coverage and michaels fable have been charged with espionage here in china we also know that australia for example has also have had very tense relations with china recently we had journalists cheng lei detained in august specific reason was given until weeks after her detention it was said that shes been charged herself with espionage in the Australian Government has released a warning to australian citizens that china and china the may be an arbitrary enforcement of the law and in discouraged australian citizens from traveling to china the canadian government has done the same and now the Us Government has also warned its citizens of the possible arbitrary detention here in china as well ok actually you bruise on the very least us there from beijing thank you.
