With China rising as a world power, its internal affairs and poor human rights record are coming under media scrutiny from democratic countries. Over the past few years, millions of Chinese citizens have been the victims of arbitrary and secret detentions. Government persecution of Christians has intensified, with Pastor Wang Yi and approximately 100 members of his church also detained.
Photojournalist Lu Guang has also disappeared. His photographs expose social, environmental, and economic issues. Disappearing him will hardly suppress his work. It is readily available online. Is he considered to be a threat because his work challenges the image of itself that China wishes to present to the world?
