Chinese authorities have been working to discredit the protesters by casting them as tools of malevolent foreign powers. Read more at straitstimes.com.
BEIJING - First, the accountant and the freelance writer were taken away. Then, the former tutor with a degree in English literature. And several days later, police came for the editor at the Beijing publishing house.
Authorities have not officially announced the arrests and have largely avoided even acknowledging the protests. In seeking to tamp down unrest without further inflaming public anger, the party has often favoured discreet repression. Police have asked the women about their use of overseas messaging platforms or involvement in feminist activities, such as reading groups, according to the people. Chinese propaganda has decried feminism as another tool of foreign influence.
It is far from clear that the four women were targeted because of their interest in feminism. Other protesters may have also been arrested. Some Chinese social media users have tried to publicize the names of people missing since the protests, with various crowdsourced lists naming around two dozen people.
That night, Beijing police were relatively restrained, even as the vigil turned into a street protest calling for an end to “zero Covid” and greater political freedoms. Officers filmed participants but did not aggressively detain people on-site. A similar theme may have emerged in the police interrogations of the four women, according to the people familiar with their cases.
