Thirty-Seven Years On, a Wound That Never Closed
A former star of Chinese state television turns her camera on a Taiwanese journalist wounded in the Tiananmen crackdown — and on the limits of what witnesses could say at the time.
Chinese Embassy in Portugal
The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Portugal is China’s chief diplomatic mission to Portugal. The mission was established in September 1979, following the normalization of diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and Portugal on February 8, 1979. The embassy attracted public attention in January 2023 when local residents raised concerns about its alleged surveillance practices. Residents expressed alarm that the three surveillance cameras installed at the facility might capture footage of surrounding residential apartments, raising questions about privacy and surveillance overreach beyond diplomatic premises. Following media coverage of the installations, local residents observed that the embassy had modified its surveillance setup, with one camera removed entirely and the remaining two repositioned away from the exterior perimeter of the embassy compound.
