Chen Kuan-ting said there have been many cases where individuals who fled China due to persecution continue to be harassed by Chinese national security agencies after seeking refuge overseas. In a joint statement issued at the G7 summit in June, cross-border suppression was recognized as a “global security issue,” he added. With the international community working to contain and prevent cross-border suppression, he said the purpose of the news conference was to encourage all sectors to address the issue and seek solutions.
