Strike Hard Campaign

December 28, 2020;

Chinese officials have announced yet another campaign against individuals who use the internet to “split the country” and “undermine national unity” in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Any political critique is considered tantamount to “splittism”. A list of banned activities, including using virtual private networks (VPNs) and joining discussion groups, was also made public on December 24. Offenders could face up to 8 years in prison under the regulations.
