Swiss Government Exposed to Have Allowed In Chinese Agents in Secret Agreement

Human rights group Safeguard Defender has published a report exposing a secret agreement between the Swiss government with China allowing operations of Chinese public security agents in Switzerland. The agreement, the existence of which had been unknown to the Swiss parliament, allowed Chinese agents to enter the country in unofficial capacities and to track down and help investigate Chinese citizens that the Swiss authorities wished to expel.

According to the report, the “readmission agreement” was signed on 8 December 2015. The agreement allowed Chinese officials to enter Switzerland and to track down, investigate and question “illegal immigrants” or potential repatriates to help the Swiss authorities ascertain if the individuals were Chinese citizens.

While the agreement provided that Chinese officials could only come by the invitation of the Swiss authorities for an investigation lasting two weeks, China had full discretion in deciding in naming the agents without Switzerland’s approval. Upon arrival, the officials might be admitted in unofficial capacities with their identities and reports guaranteed secret by the Swiss authorities. They were also allowed to act freely on Swiss soil and to question up to six people every day for 10 days without being supervised by Swiss officials, meaning they could question as many as 60 people on each visit.

The annex further provided that all their travel and local expenses be covered by the Swiss authorities. Accommodation would also be arranged.

#ChinaDaily Caught Promoting China with Stolen Photo of #Switzerland, After Criticizing Western Media's Credibility

China Daily, China's state-owned newspaper, released a satirical cartoon via its Twitter account on May 10, 2021, suggesting that "western media lacks credibility".

The account subsequently shared a promotional video on sightseeing in China, which showed a natural landscape with the hashtag “#ChineGlamour”. However, German and French TV station #ARTE(Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) discovered that the landscape image was taken by a travel blogger, and was in fact recorded in #Brienz, Switzerland. The image is then flipped horizontally, and the blogger's watermark cropped out.

The blogger criticised China Daily’s #plagiarism, and mocked them for promoting China with a stolen picture of Switzerland. China Daily had since deleted the video without apologies.

#CCP has committed #humanrights abuses for 100th years. On July 1st, we had nothing to celebrate, only tragedies to share, and warnings to sound to the world. Rallies against CCP and in support of the oppressed people are held in #Belgium, #Canada, #Germany, #Japan, #Switzerland, #UK and #US. The fight for freedom is not only the struggle of #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, IT IS YOURS TOO! CCP has shown how precisely it can oppress people outside of #China, in the international community, through infiltrating governments, universities and businesses. Never take #democracy for granted and stand up to the tyrant before they gag you like they gagged #HongKong, #EastTurkestan, #Tibet!

#CCP doesn’t even bother to do research before concocting a lie?! As ridiculous as it sounds to us, perhaps #Chinese within the Great Wall agree with everything this “#WilsonEdwards” said. 🥸

Chinese official media quoted from “Swiss scholar” on the traceability of the politicized virus in the United States; Swiss Embassy in China: no such person  

In the beginning of this month Chinese multiple official media including People Daily and Guancha, quoted a published article from Swiss biologist Wilson Edwards. In which, it stated there is a scholar being suppressed by United States as he supports the first virus traceability report which published by China and WHO, the article was criticizing WTO virus traceability work as political tool of the United States. However, Embassy of Switzerland in Beijing posted a statement in Twitter on Tuesday night (10August), cleared out there is no citizen in Switzerland called Wilson Edwards, and no relevant article was signed with his name in the biology community. The embassy claimed for Chinese press and netizens, who have retweeted that news take down the posts and post correction statement. They also called for, if “Wilson Edwards” really “exists”, please contact the embassy and they would like to meet him.  
 
Now, many Chinese media have taken down those relevant posts, but people can still search the original links from Google by using the Chinese translated name of “Wilson Edwards”; those official media have not posted any correction statement and the relevant report is still available on Eposh Times.

Aim: dissing US: "US was meddling in efforts to find the origins of Covid-19."

Proof: "Swiss embassy said that it was unlikely this person existed." + no academic articles under the name.

Swiss set to match #EU sanctions if #China invades #Taiwan - agency chief

//The head of the Swiss agency that implements economic sanctions expects the neutral country to adopt any punitive measures the #EuropeanUnion launches against China if it invades Taiwan, she said in a newspaper interview.

China has been stepping up military activity around Taiwan seeking to pressure the democratically elected government there to accept Chinese sovereignty...

Asked by the Neue Zuercher Zeitung paper if #Switzerland would adopt EU sanctions against China in that case, State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (#SECO) Director Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch said: "I strongly believe that we would adopt such sanctions.//
