I defected from China and revealed its spying tactics – now I fear assassination

1. A common problem with diaspora communities is that often enough they have left because they have extreme ideological opposition to the government.

   An easy thought experiment is to imagine interviewing a MAGA person that had fled Biden’s America (or a democrat that had fled Trump’s america). Do you think you’d get a balanced, impartial analysis of anything? Of course not. You may be able to empathise along perceived shared ideological lines, but the assessment of ‘they’re all evil and corrupt and beyond help’ which you’d get in either example isn’t actually helpful (or maybe it is :P)

   Which has just raised an interesting point now that i come to think of it. The past couple of decades migration has been far less along ideological grounds than it used to be. There’s definitely something in that imo.

   That said, i’m not sure his commentary on the uk’s legal process holds any value, and that’s seemingly the purpose of this interview.

2. Defected from to China to…the UK? We know their spying capabilities are at least as good as the Chinese, if not better.

3. This fear seems rational and justifiable. Nunavut territory in the far north of Canada is where I would hide.
