An Australian businessman I know had a similar experience about 3 years ago. In his case, he had gone to China to set up manufacturing facilities to produce for export a biomedical device he had invented and patented (in the west). He was welcomed with open arms by the Chinese authorities and received a lot of help from the local district governor in setting up his factory and hiring a skilled local workforce. Not long after production began he was informed that his business was being compulsorily bought out (for a fraction of the cost of setting it up) by a local politician and he had absolutely no say in the matter; he was told to take the money and leave China quietly, otherwise he'd end up in jail for 10 years on trumped-up charges. He initially decided to stand his ground and fight, however after receiving a tip-off that the police were coming for him he decided to make a run for it in the middle of the night and managed to get out via Hong Kong. Not only did he lose all the money from his investment but also the intellectual property for his invention; it is still being produced in that same factory and evidently sold under a different name & model branding as a unique Chinese product.

He quickly called my father and he packed his most important things and talked with my Chinese mother. My mother understanding the situation, quickly let him leave the house.

I had to flee Shandong Province the same night and fly straight to Beijing. Then I fled Beijing to Hong Kong the next day. I feel your pain. It was so abrupt, and my gut was like, "Damn I have to get outta there". On the flight out of Yantai, a man told me they were targeting a bunch of foreign teachers that month. Setting them up. I thought for sure they were going to arrest me for trying to get PAID. It happened so fast, and I knew they were following me around town. It was abrupt and so emotionally traumatizing. I still get upset about it, because I also had a life and many students that I adored. Not a lot of people can understand how hard that abrupt exit was.

Then she went back to visit for a year. She came back and had nothing good to say. She was suddenly the nation's greatest critic, though she was evasive when we asked her why. Over time, we stopped asking and forgot. Years later, she abruptly vanished with messages stating she was going back for a family emergency. All contact with her ceased after that.

The whole thing was crafted by their internal security people I’m almost certain of it. If you are a US citizen, Australian citizen or from another country that is standing up to the CCP they may arbitrarily detain you for political reasons just because you have a passport from one of these nations though so he was wise to bug out. I also know people here who have been grabbed by state security in China when they have arrived by air and interrogated about things they’ve posted online. The whole house of cards there relies on a false narrative and if everyone learned what was really going on the CCP would collapse. It’s why they’re so damn afraid of words or criticism.

I visited Hong Kong back in 1996 - the year before control was handed back over to China. I remember a conversation with a friend who was working there at the time. I told him that the CCP would not respect the agreement to allow Hong Kong to remain independently governed. I said that it was just a matter of time before they seized control. It took a few more years than I thought it would, but it did happen. The CCP has never really changed from the days of Tianneman Square. The outside of the CCP is more polished, but inside they are as corrupt and evil as they have ever been. I hope that someday China will be free but that may never happen.

Do you know what’s ironic? I am from and live in the U.S. I have followed your channel for years. Watching your adventures made me think perhaps I should have taken a different path. I seriously considered chucking in all and giving a foreign nation, quite possibly China, a chance. Your videos were no threat to anyone. I was aware that you self-censored, but that is irrelevant. You showed the world that China could be beautiful and fascinating. You did so much to educate what the country used to be about. You loved the country and that came across in all of your videos. I cannot even begin to understand how you were considered a threat. By treating you like this the government undermined their propaganda. It is ironic for them, sad for most of us, and horrifying for you/your family. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

But it just goes to show how strict that government is and how they are intent on shutting down ANYONE who dares to speak a single word against it. You've done well. Best wishes to you buddy

I used to live in China near the Hong Kong border. When the chaos started to happen in Hong Kong, I said "nope! I think now is the time to yeet out of here!" Pulled a midnight run via Hong Kong (literally cuz I left for my current country at midnight). I do not regret leaving, just regret the lovely people I met are still there.

I loved that city and we often had enough time between flights to go out and sightsee. In 2007, we stayed there for three nights. Our last time there was 2015. The next time we go to Philippines I don't feel safe visiting Hong Kong because my social media criticism of the CCP might get me arrested. A damned shame.

I've been binge watching your and adv media's content for the past few weeks. From one American to another, welcome back home! I escaped from China 8 years ago and was naturalized last year. I really appreciate what you and Winston are doing, you guys are real inspirations. There is never a more important time for people to wake up to see the dangous of CCP and Chinese establishment.

Thank you for sharing your story. This is so scary. I married my Chinese husband in America 4 years ago. He now holds a green card and works in the US. But at the beginning of our relationship, while he was finishing up his doctorates, he suggested me and my son move back to China with him. I considered it, not knowing how controlling the Chinese government is. Due to certain circumstances, we stayed in the States & I slowly began to learn about the difficulties of Hong Kong and Chinese government. I am beyond grateful I never moved there. I am a Latina, I naturally speak my mind about things I don't approve of & now I realize that had I gone to China my own personality could have put me in jail. I told my husband that if he had to ever move back to China, I would not go and neither would our children. The American government has sooooo many flaws, but at least I don't live in fear of going to jail for speaking my mind or being an activist in this country. I really hope you, your wife, and child are safe and stay safe from here on out!

I feel for your husband. It must be sad for him to see all this stuff going down. I am thankful for all the videos these two have put out, I learned of the beauty of china and the uniqueness of their people but also of the hidden horrors going on because of the CCP. I wanted to see the great wall of china, the old temples and the "old" china that is fast disappearing but alas, will stick to videos. You couldn't pay me to go there now, especially with the increasing animosity towards foreigners. Best wishes!

The current situation in Hong Kong is literally insane, I feel like the Chinese government has always done stuff like this, but under such a light smoke screen?

@@jamesfry8983 It's at least in part because things are so bad with the economy in China that the Party is weak, and the ruling faction has to show the other factions how "strong" they are. It's also a sop to the jealousy of the Shanghai faction, who resent HK's financial success... not being willing to admit that HK was so successful precisely because it was not governed by pure PRC "law" which make it impossible to be a world class financial center.

China always use a facade to show the world a different image of CCP. Just look at all the "donation" of mask they show, or the "achievement" they made. The very fact that this Pandemic change everything. CCP no longer need to put on their masks, they screw up and they knew it, that's why they just throw away the mask and show their true face. To understand more, watch Xu Xiaodong, the Chinese MMA who exposed Fake Kungfu Masters and the prices he paid. That's why you no longer see how "great Chinese Kung fu" and craps since 2017.

That's how the Nazis started their expansionism. First they try the waters by trying to take on & annex smaller or politically less significant areas. Then if the World doesn't pay significant heed to it, they get more and more aggressive every time.
