“I receive death threats on a daily basis": Chinese artist's exhibition in Poland will be attended by Western officials to prevent censorship by Beijing
Australian consular officials will attend the opening of Badiucao’s show in Poland after Chinese ambassador demanded it be closed down
On 9 June, executives at Ujazdowski Castle, a museum in Warsaw, expressed their “concern and astonishment” after the Chinese ambassador entered the museum and demanded the exhibition by Chinese artist Badiucao to be closed down. On 12 June, Yao Dongye visited the museum a second time to repeat his demand. Chinese-Australian artist Badiucao uses art to explore censorship and human rights abuses in China, including the manipulation of historical memory about the Tiananmen massacre, the forced cultural assimilation of Uyghurs, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and China’s position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
CCP has it's hands everywhere, unfortunately. There are even "Chinese police stations" in western countries. Saw a documentary in the German language recently about a chinese citizen in Germany recieving death threats by such police on a regular basis.
