.@UCNZ's current gagging of Brady and the fatal car crash against her petition coauthors two months ago are covered by Sky News in Australia. Brady's house has also been burglarized and her car tampered with - both suspicious occurrences.
Photos of the fatal car crash two months ago in which a Brady coauthor died.
About the crash of Freeman Yu, Xi Weiguo, and Wang Lecheng Indo, in which the latter two died and Freeman survived with terrible injuries, Anne-Marie told me, "The three men were all part of a civil society group who have given me a lot of support. They bravely signed the ..."
"... open letter of 2018 demanding NZ government protect us against the harassment activities. Freeman has been a sounding board and big supporter of me. He also spoke at NZ Parliament twice on the issue of CCP political interference. The three men were travelling down from ..."
"... Auckland to Wellington to hand deliver a petition pleading with NZ government to take action against CCP interference. They and others had permitted protest on that topic at Parliament arranged for the day before my oral testimony, then were going to come and hear me..."
"... speak. They are incredibly brave people, who speak for the silent majority of our 247,000 strong NZ Chinese population...."
"... The accident occurred two days before my oral testimony to the Justice Select Committee inquiry into political interferences in local government," where Anne-Marie released the PLA/NZ universities paper that is the subject of the current investigation.
"A copy of the petition the men wr[o]te was found in the car wreck with a heart shaped blood stain on the left corner of the page." - Anne-Marie Brady
.@ucnv Vice Chancellor Cheryl de la Rey is also a big supporter of #China's Confucius Institute on the UCNV campus. xinhuanet.com/english/2019-1… Image
According to Chinese state media (long after evidence of state-supported genocide emerged in China), the "Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canterbury Prof. Cheryl de la Rey, said that the Confucius Institute is the mainstay of the University of Canterbury."
"The institute not only actively engages in the Chinese language education in the South Island, but also brings academic exchanges and cooperation, said de la Rey, adding that the university will further strengthen its close ties with the institute ..." -Xinhua
"... so as to further promote cooperation with Chinese universities. The University of Canterbury jointly established the Confucius Institute with China’s Wuhan-based Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2009." -Xinhua
VC Cheryl de la Rey claimed that she stands for "anti-discrimination, social equality and why universities should be uncompromising in our commitment to human rights", yet she failed to sufficiently support #Uyghurs, #FalunGong, and #Christians in China. stuff.co.nz/the-press/news… Image
Ten @ipacglobal advisers have come out in support of Anne-Marie Brady's academic freedom to criticize #China's influence in #NewZealand. stuff.co.nz/national/12315…
In August three activists with whom Brady was working were bringing a petition to the NZ parliament and were in a suspicious car crash. Two died and one was seriously injured.
We are now over 3/4 of the way towards our goal of $20,000 NZD for Anne-Marie's legal defense, in only four days of fundraising. The people love you, Professor Brady! Image
From the South China Morning Post: Image
US National Security Council China expert Matt Pottinger at the White House cited @Anne_MarieBrady @UCNZ in his speech today. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…
"The Kiwi scholar Anne-Marie Brady, a pioneer in sussing out United Front ploys, points to the Party’s global campaigns—'One Belt, One Road' and the 'Community of Common Destiny for Mankind'—as classic specimens of the [Leninist] genre." - Pottinger, US NSC
"Brady calls United Front work a 'tool to corrode and corrupt our political system, to weaken and divide us against each other, to erode the critical voice of our media, and turn our elites into clients of the Chinese Communist Party, their mouths stuffed with cash.'”- US NSC

U of Canterbury professor @Anne_MarieBrady is being administratively harassed by @UCNZ for her work on #China's influence operations. The China Democracy Foundation is crowd-financing $20,000 NZD in legal support. Please donate and spread the word here: chinadem.org/take-action Image

We have an incredible board overseeing the founding of the organization and our first case to support Anne-Marie Brady: @DEANforDVW @cburton001 John Dotson at @ChinaBriefJT @nathanlawkc @CleoPaskal @benedictrogers, all of whom are volunteering in a personal capacity.

"We have little illusion about our chance of success … but we simply refuse to let #HongKong succumb to tyranny. We try anything and everything; we soldier on,” it said. -LIHKG statement. theguardian.com/world/2020/may…
While I admire and honor anyone who chooses to remain in Hong Kong under siege by the fascist #CCP, sometimes tactical retreat is a smart move. I hope activists who can live to fight another day by getting out of #HK do so and are honored to equal degree. #BeWater #DontGetCaught
Look at the #FalunGong - they have regrouped outside of China and are doing massive damage to the CCP through public education and support to anti-CCP electoral candidates in the USA. That is arguably more effective if you have the option than sitting in a CCP prison.

#NewZealand @jacindaardern why didn't you sign the joint statement on #HongKong with the US, UK, Canada and Australia? You don't really agree with freedom and democracy at the cost of renminbi? #jacindaardern #turnardern #nz #nzpol #5eyes - 1=4eyes state.gov/joint-statemen…

.@NPR still hopes that engagement with #China will soften Beijing in the future. It's not paying attention to the #CCP's uncooperative drive for advantage in nearly all of its global interactions. @emilyzfeng @amy_23_cheng npr.org/2020/05/11/852…
NPR authors: "While assigning blame might score points with populist elements in both China and the U.S., it comes at a cost for an important geopolitical relationship." Yet, not assigning blame risks a repeat by the CCP.
"Instead of collaborating on a global health crisis, the two countries are now even further apart, according to U.S.-China relations experts." Yet, it is our overdone collaboration with China that has led to China's outsized influence with US elites and thus our weak defenses.

"The sooner #China was included into the international community, the earlier it would learn to play along with international norms, the argument went. But, China’s current measures indicate otherwise. International norms are the ones being played." thediplomat.com/2020/04/how-ch…
"China’s attempts to make the @UN a tool for achieving its hegemonic ambition would erode the institution’s trustworthiness from within and render international cooperation parochial."
"China’s approach to international cooperation would defeat the UN’s purpose to settle distributional conflicts since, very soon, other stakeholders would realize that cooperation is a cloak for advancing China’s national interests."
