TL;DR Summary

The Chinese government is targeting critics living in exile as part of its crackdown on pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. China has issued arrest warrants for scholars, pro-democracy activists, and former lawmakers who are no longer living in Hong Kong. Critics living abroad are being targeted to extend the reach of China's repression, with the aim of scaring them into silence. The government's tactics include detaining family members and using illegal means to intimidate critics. Despite censorship and control of the media, exiled activists are staying informed about the situation in Hong Kong, which they describe as resembling a police state under the national security law.
