    If I first threaten your family member if you don’t do exactly as I say, it is not a simple request to return home. There is a legal process for that called extradition.

      What you’re describing is not kidnapping. The article implies China is threatening family members, but it provides no examples, and I have no reason to trust people who deliberately mischaracterize the facts.

      If China, for example, was arresting family members of people for no other reason besides being related to a citizen China wants to return home, the authors would probably have just said that.

          If you want to make a convincing argument then post the relevant bit of information from the report or it just sounds like you’re handwaving
