Growing fears for Chinese-Australian writer who has disappeared in China

The Australian government is searching for information concerning the whereabouts of Yang Hengjun, a prominent Chinese-Australian writer who friends fear has been detained by Chinese authorities.

Yang Hengjun, a dissident and former Chinese diplomat, flew from New York to the city of Guangzhou on January 18 despite friends warning the Australian citizen it was too dangerous for him to travel to China.

He assured one of his friends, Sydney academic and prominent Chinese community figure Dr Feng Chongyi, that he would not be on the authorities' radar. Mr Yang believed he had "done nothing to offend the authorities over the last two or three years," according to Dr Feng.

However, after arriving in Guangzhou from New York, Mr Yang did not complete the second leg of his journey which was a flight to Shanghai.

Great news! It looks like re-education camps are being rolled out all over China now. No reason for Xinjiang to get preferential treatment.

I don't really know what happened, I speak from principle. Deciding to detain someone because he is a dissident is not a show of power, strength or resilience. If you think about this objectively my friend, it is the exact opposite.

LOL then why is Australia jumping up and down in frustration? They should be celebrating such a "show of weakness" as you would put it.

when you are threatened by a simple idea it shows your weakness
you remind me of a Chinese emperor who ordered all books burned to get rid of threatening ideas

Looks like the charges are very serious. Probably a death penalty.

I don't know if it can be called as disappear.

Usually the west always use bad word on China.

Arrest = disappear

Progress = ambition

Policy = control tight

Military = threat


While the west use good word to describe themselves.

The Western legal system has terms like habeas corpus. it applies to all citizens and most non-citizens
