"Blinken's Diplomatic Dance: Meeting Top Chinese Official Ahead of Taiwan Elections"
Chinese diplomat Liu Jianchao, known for orchestrating "Operation Foxhunt" to target anti-Communist dissidents globally, was warmly received by top US officials, sparking outrage from human rights groups. The visit comes amid concerns of transnational repression by the Chinese Communist Party, including the operation of a secret police station in Manhattan's Chinatown. Liu's trip aimed to promote better understanding between the US and China, but his history of human rights abuses and coercion of Chinese nationals abroad has drawn criticism and calls for accountability.
