Students and workers who joined the Communist party say they have been asked to spread propaganda
China is demanding acts of loyalty from its young professionals living and working in the US, sometimes putting them at odds with local law and immigration requirements, as it seeks more control over expatriates amid rising tensions between the two countries. The demands are increasingly being placed on Chinese nationals who joined the country’s Communist party as students or young professionals before they left home, in the hopes of career advancement once they eventually return.
More recently, the campaign has sought to mobilise overseas members to burnish its image. In a report published in February, a party secretary at the global affairs office of Shanghai University said it should train overseas student members to become “disseminators” of positive China stories and strengthen their belief in “listening to and following the party”.
