National Security Officers Allegedly Interfere with Church-Organized Webinar on Google Meet
In Hong Kong on 30 August 2020, the Church of Christ in China (CCC) Tuen Mun Church held a webinar under the theme "The Historical Changes of the Crucifix under the Red Flag" through the communication software Google Meet.
The talk was a four-part series which discussed church and the religion policy in China. Soon after the webinar began, users who called themselves "Hong Kong Branch of China National Security Bureau", "China National Security Agency", and "Shenzhengovernment" (sic.) requested to join, but were refused by the webinar administrator.
Towards the end of the webinar, Pastor Chan Min-yi, who is also the director of the Tuen Mun Church, reported the incident to the participants. Following that, Chan was constantly being removed from the chat room by an unknown third party. In the end, Chen had to use his wife's phone to join the chat room, but whenever he turned on the camera to speak, he was being removed again. At the same time, several church members and speakers who were hosting the talk were also being removed from the chat room. Under the circumstances, he webinar was forced to end.
Pastor Chan said that the church chose to use Google Meet instead of Zoom for security reasons, but they suspected that they were still being monitored. He emphasized that the webinar was an introduction to the history of church policies in China and did not touch on the national security law. He said that the church will report the incident to Google, but has no intention to tell the police, "It is meaningless. The police are friends of the national security folks."
