    From what I understand, Chinese consulates in the West have programs to try to convince ex-pats, namely well off ones, to repatriate. Basically, it’s a way to mitigate capital flight. Western media, of course, spin this as “China man has secret police arresting people in our country!”

      Oh yeah, the thousand talents progam, which is very public knowledge. Crackers are mad that embargoes cannot be enfored on human beings that might, just like every CEO in any industry, just be persuaded back to china to spill the beans in exchange for a larger paycheck.
