Transnational repression is a potent tool of the Chinese Communist Party used to threaten the freedom and democratic rights of dissents. The CCP currently directs the most targeted, oppressive, and comprehensive campaign of transnational repression in the world against Falun Gong practitioners. According to leaked Chinese Communist Party documents, congressional testimonies from former Chinese diplomats, and third-party investigations, the CCP has enacted operations around the world to silence, marginalize, and suppress Falun Gong since the launch of the persecution in 1999.
