Drew Pavlou, an anti CCP student activist from Queensland had this stunt pulled on him in London, and wound up on the Met's bad books back in July '22. The police seem to think a precautionary principle here is to pull in the swatted individual, one hopes over time their name gets flagged as being targeted, not perpetrating.<p>He'd previously been in legal strife for organising anti CCP protests at uni. Chinese state funding of tertiary education in Australia and the influx of fee paying Chinese students is a significantly important economic and political/strategic issue in Oz.<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/23/australian-activist-drew-pavlou-arrested-in-london-but-denies-sending-chinese-embassy-bomb-threat" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/23/austr...</a>
Way to nitpick. By now, probably 95% of the people in Western countries are China critics. How many of them had fake bomb threats?<p>Meanwhile, what are the threats made to people who are neutral or pro-China?<p>So much anti-China propaganda.
