A prominent overseas watcher of Chinese protests says police in China are cracking down on some of his million-plus followers on social platform X, as unrest grows over the nation’s economic slowdown.
The X user, who goes by the name “Teacher Li,” wrote in a long post Sunday evening that the Ministry of Public Security had been approaching his followers “one by one” and inviting them for “tea” — a euphemism for interrogation in the Asian country.
