The Swiss government in February last year published a report saying that exiled Tibetans and Uighurs are facing transnational repression from China. The oppression has escalated into transnational repression, which targets not only Tibetans and Uighurs, but also Hong Kongers and Taiwanese, Yeh said. Hong Kong Outlanders member Sky Fung (馮詔天) said that Tibetans and Hong Kongers with connections to Taiwan are at risk of being charged of “collusion with external forces” by Beijing. However, Tibetans and Hong Kongers continue their independence movements in Taiwan because they cannot voice dissent in their homeland, Fung said. “It actions push Tibetans and Hong Kongers to the limit,” he said, calling on people in Taiwan to take action to resist Chinese oppression.
