Trump's Attempt to Deport Chinese Dissident Guan Heng is Part of an Awful Pattern
The Trump Administration’s effort to deport Chinese dissident Guan Heng has rightly drawn widespread outrage and condemnation. Guan is a hero for his exposure of the Chinese government’s oppression and persecution of the Uyghur minority, and he faces near-certain imprisonment or death if he is deported to China, or to Uganda (a Chinese-aligned state to which the Trump administration may be trying to send him). Legally, he has an rock-solid case for asylum.
Sadly, the effort to deport Guan is part of a broader pattern of Trump administration efforts to deport dissidents and victims of persecution back to the regimes that oppress them. These policies now include deporting Russian dissidents back to Vladimir Putin’s brutal dictatorship, refugees who fled oppression in Cuba and Venezuela, Iranian Christians who fled persecution by that country’s radical Islamist regime, and Afghans who fled the Taliban (including many who aided the US during the war). Such policies are obviously cruel and unjust. They are also strategically counterproductive.
A policy that essentially aids anti-American regimes in their persecution of dissidents undermines our position in the international war of ideas between these governments’ ideologies and ours, and deters future would-be dissidents and allies from working against those governments or aiding us. This isn’t making America Great Again. It’s making us simultaneously evil and stupid.
