Ongoing concerns include inadequate safeguards against the exploitation of migrant workers and the Chinese government’s efforts to influence policymaking, media, and the democratic infrastructure."

48 Uyghurs who escaped from China, and have been detained in Thailand for a decade, are at imminent risk of return. Their case is an example of China's transnational repression
"...by saving these men, Bangkok, which was recently elected to the UN Human Rights Council, would avoid the costly international criticism... and demonstrate a practical commitment to human rights."
Freedom House's research on transnational repression has found ten repressive regimes commit the majority of the world's abuses. China is the worst offender followed by the governments of Russia, Turkey, and Egypt
