Hu Liren said on the "Real China" program that the Chinese Communist Party has sent well-known figures such as Wang Zhi'an overseas, mainly targeting Falun Gong media, claiming that they criticize in small ways while helping greatly under the banner of opposing the CCP, and stand on the CCP's side on key issues.
Taiwan's Shilin District Court issued a ruling in the case in which Wang Zhian sued Hu Zhongxin, accusing him of being CCP overseas propaganda and a double agent. The judge dismissed all of Wang Zhian's claims, finding that the statements in question constituted opinion expression and political commentary based on facts, and were protected by freedom of speech.
The lawsuit brought by blind rights activist Chen Guangcheng, based in the United States, against Wang Zhian for defamation and libel held its first hearing in February 2026, since which five hearings have been conducted.
