After Dave Lee interviewed Drew Pavlou this time, he sent as many people he could to help Drew Pavlou out in Queensland.
Many of you guys know the Confucius Institutes and the CCP’s influence in Australia. It’s great that a lot of Australians have woken up these days.
Story of A university student named Drew Pavlou at the University of Queensland.
He could, at the end of April, be expelled and banned from university because of a CCP member.
To know all the story, I will interview him and tell you guys what’s going on at the University of Queensland.
Here is the whole conversation I had with Drew Pavlou.
Human Rights Violations In China – Drew Pavlou
Can you tell everyone at home what’s going on?
I’ve been a vocal voice at my university against the Confucius Institute, and my universities are linked to the Chinese Communist Party through the Confucius Institute.
In July 2019, I led a rally supporting Hong Kong and calling for the Confucius Institute on YouTube to be shut down.
At the same time, these massive human rights abuses were being perpetrated in Hong Kong, not to mention across China, especially with the uyghur, Muslims and the Tibetan people arguing for no links with the Chinese Communist Party.
At the same time, these human rights abuses were being perpetrated.And at this rally, I was assaulted by supporters of the Chinese government.
Chinese government supporters led a massive counter-protest. It probably numbered 506 hundred people.
It played the Chinese national anthem. I was assaulted and several other students who supported Hong Kong. We also let us fit in at the Confucius Institute on that day.
Universities are linked to the Chinese Communist Party through the Confucius Institute
After that incident, Doctor Zuji, the Brisbane PRC, Consul general.
He’s also an honorary professor at the University of Queensland, a pretty unprecedented appointment. You cure pointed him to this honorary position at the university.
In the aftermath of the violence in which I was assaulted, I’ve received hundreds of death threats; along with several other students who supported Hong Kong in the aftermath of that.
Doctor Zuj issued a statement, basically endorsing the violence against myself and the other pro-Hong Kong students as separatists.
That intensified the death threats. My safety was threatened. I had to go to class with security.
Drew Pavlou Receiving Death Threats From The CCP In Australia
When I was receiving death threats and was assaulted on campus, you could try to Crackdown on me, and I had my enrollment threatened.
They tried to stop my future protests. There were just several actions designed to try and harass and intimidate me into silence.
In the wake of that, the university did not support me and did not listen to us.
The demands regarding the Confucian institute’s closure due to the human rights abuses perpetrated by the Chinese government in the wake of that.
I ran for the University of Queensland Senate, which is the university’s governing board. So I’d have a seat at the table to argue these things.
China’s Using Universities To Influence Australian Politics
Unfortunately, even though a landslide of students elected me, the universities continued to keep up their campaign of harassment against me to sort of silence me.
My voice, I suppose, and what I just received the other day.
One day after, I had just organised a big charity drive for students delivering 253 hampers to impoverished students at the university who needed staples and supplies during this time.
One day after this Big Charity Act, UQ sent me this significant 200-page booklet composed of all these allegations against me.
So many vexatious accusations that are just basically there To cover them.
China Is Intimidating Australian University Students
In expelling me from the university for my activism against their links or Chinese Communist Party.
So for my activism against the Chinese Communist Party and my public post as a youthful senator supporting Hong Kong and condemning Chinese government interference in Hong Kong.
For those reasons, I believe you he’s trying to expel me now.
They’re pushing this huge 102 hundred page booklet Of allegations against me, most of them being vexatious and just and puffed up charges.
Basically as cover to expel me for there too as a cover for their real purpose, to expel me for my activism against the CCP and the universities links to the CCP.
Drew Pavlou Is Fighting For Human Rights
Thank you for taking the time to come on and share your experience with us.
This is part of a determined, organized attempt on the part of CCP members in Australia to silence anyone who believe in freedom and anyone who supports Hong Kong and Taiwan, piece by piece.
I checked Drew’s Twitter and his Facebook page, and he doesn’t appear to be doing anything improper.
I can see that all he’s doing is speaking out against authoritarianism and human rights violations, not only in China, but also in Australia, where we’re starting to feel the effects of our economic ties to the CCP.
CCP slanders its opponents as these anti-China and racists
It’s all coming back to the human rights aspect of it.
I know one major thing the CCP tries to do is slander their opponents of the sort of anti-China races, but for me, I’m pro-China and I love the Chinese people.
I want their human rights to be respected. I come at this from this humanitarian, like left-libertarian sort of angle, and I’m really like an anarchist.
I believe human dignity has to be upheld, like everywhere, against all tyrannical rulers everywhere. Oppose all these sorts of governments.
But yeah, you know, as the CCP slanders its opponents as these anti-China, China, race racists and whatnot?
For me, it’s not about that at all; it’s just human rights, human dignity, and upholding the rights of the wider: the Hong Kong people, the people of China itself.
Chinese government trampling all over Chinese peoples rights and freedoms
Against a Chinese government trampling all over their inherent dignity and rights and freedoms.
I don’t bring it up since I know that many of those speaking out against the CCP are not racist.
In fact, when I’m leaning to the left, I’m quite left. I speak out, and the reason why a lot of people are perplexed is that they’ve been brainwashed by CCP propaganda.
Like all these critics of the Chinese Government and its regime are then turned into these sort of like. Be an anti-Chinese racist in CCP propaganda, but.It’s such a mistake.
It all relies on the mistaken idea that the Chinese government is the sole representative of the Chinese people and the conflation of the people in the government.
In reality, this is a government that does not represent its people. It’s a dictatorship. It was never elected.
It doesn’t mean them, and it maintained its rule through force. It kills it, tortures dissidents, and it kills and tortures people who disagree with it.
Anti-CCP from Hong Kong in Australia
I met an anti-CCP individual from Hong Kong in Australia for coffee, and that was all they spoke about.
They don’t want to talk about anything else that’s going on in Hong Kong, but the reason I don’t is because some of my best friends are Chinese, and I don’t even want to say it.
It also aids the CCP by mentioning, “I’m not racist,” which it almost explicitly states. Do you get what I’m saying?
I don’t see anything you’ve done that is racist to me. There’s nothing there, and if anything, Australia, America, and the United Kingdom are among the most left-leaning countries on the planet.
We are the most left-wing countries on the planet, so the fact that we even need to discuss it is a little ludicrous.
You can look at his Twitter or Facebook page, or whatever else he wants to share with you.
I just thought I’d bring it up now because I happened to observe these protests.
There were a lot of CCP processes at the Pro Hong Kong protests that they were holding, or I remember where it was last year somewhere in July 2019.
Members of the community had attacked them, and I recall hearing about it on this channel, and it’s just another example of how we’re not standing up for our rights.
Little stuff like Drew maybe being thrown off college and to bed for speaking out against Hong Kong.
He also has a photograph of himself protesting in Tibet.
To some extent, this is free speech, but when you start suppressing people like this, you’re taking away everyone’s freedom, which is why it’s so vital to have people like Drew roaring and screaming out there.
He’s also doing it in a mature manner. He’s not like Chuck, the whipping boy, who throws a tantrum every now and then.
He’s out there working hard, and he’s doing it in a positive way. I had to look at his art and this individual.
These people don’t get compensated despite putting in a lot of altruistic effort for the cause. I also don’t get paid for this very often.
