HK activist bemoans ‘long-arm’ actsBy Chen Yu-fu and Fion Khan / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has increased cross-border intimidation efforts against Hong Kongers in Taiwan over the past year, Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Henry Tong (湯偉雄) said. “The criminal act was meant to be a scare tactic to intimidate Tong and other Hong Kongers in Taiwan. During Hong Kong’s legislative election campaign last year, he published several articles and urged Hong Kongers to boycott the vote, he said. This time, the vandalism was carried out by operatives who were allegedly dispatched directly from Hong Kong, he added. Hong Kong entities have also paid Taiwanese private detective firms to conduct surveillance, he said.
