The Dalai Lama's representative office in South Africa was firebombed in an attack suspected to be politically motivated and linked to Chinese Communist Party transnational repression. Rights groups call for a thorough investigation by South African authorities into foreign state involvement.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face rising risks if your work involves Chinese political issues in South Africa, as law enforcement is now pressed to probe foreign state motives in attacks that previously seemed local. Strengthen local partnerships and legal protections to guard your operations from political violence.
