New Zealand: Chinese Defector Jia Jia’s Son Calls for Support.

It’s been 11 days since Jia Kuo last heard from his father, well-known Chinese activist Jia Jia. He’s worried—since neither CCP officials nor the New Zealand government are giving him any answers.

[Jia Kuo, Son of Jia Jia]:
“Today I come to parliament to ask for help from New Zealand Government. I hope John Key can give me his help.”

But while Prime Minister John Key met with China’s vice-premier on Monday, Key wasn’t briefed on Jia Jia’s situation, his office told us.

Meanwhile, Jia Kuo and supporters held a rally outside parliament. Kuo was hoping Key would raise it with the vice-premier.

[Jia Kuo, Son of Jia Jia]:
“Last week I tried to call the police station in China. I wanted to get some news from them. But they refused my requirement. They didn’t answer any question, so I feel very sad.”

When we contacted the Chinese Embassy in Wellington, they claimed they knew nothing about Jia Jia’s situation, and refused our request for an interview.

But what Jia Kuo does know is that his father was detained for questioning after arriving at the Beijing airport on October 22—and he hasn’t been heard from since.

Jia Jia’s reasons for returning to China, Kuo says, were to push for democracy and to encourage other Chinese to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party.

[Jia Kuo, Son of Jia Jia]:
“China is a dictatorship country. Chinese people really want to achieve democracy. That’s why so many people support my father, so many people try to help my father.”

And maybe Jia Jia’s efforts are part of something bigger. More than 30,000 people a day are now withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party—part of a global movement inspired by the Epoch Times’ 2004 editorial series “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.”
As for Jia Jia’s safety in China, Foreign Affairs officials in New Zealand told us they’ve begun making inquiries into Jia Jia’s whereabouts and wellbeing.
