The CCP has long engaged in transnational repression targeting Falun Gong and a global censorship campaign to silence Shen Yun Performing Arts, an American classical Chinese dance company founded by Falun Gong practitioners. 
However, the aggressiveness, frequency, and violent nature of incidents has increased dramatically over the past year, especially in the United States. This shift is not accidental. Since June, internal party sources have leaked details and instructions from Xi Jinping and other top CCP officials that outline tactics that the regime plans to deploy. These are now manifesting in real-world events.
