Yu said that he sees the police invasion as standard for Chinese officials intent on asserting their own ideology of government.
"From the way I see it, it's routine that the Chinese government would warn against the West in supporting pro-democracy leaders, as a way of sending a message to the domestic scene discouraging anti-Party or anti-state groups," he said.
Yu said that American intervention in Chinese politics is hotly debated and the outcome is unclear.
"It's actually quite controversial
whether American foreign policy works to make China more cooperative, or
whether our preaching makes them less likely to turn out the way we want
them to," he said.
Within the HRCSA, Yu says that he is promoting education of China's current events instead of taking sides.
