The Chinese government, previously known for its focus on political dissidents and exiled activists, is reportedly shifting its attention to artists in the United States.
Federal officials have indicated that these artists are being targeted due to their creative expressions, which challenge the government's tolerance for dissent.
This change in focus highlights a broader strategy by the Chinese government to suppress voices that may undermine its authority, even in foreign countries.
The implications of this targeting raise concerns about freedom of expression and the potential repercussions for artists engaging in political commentary through their work.
