Did the meeting of Bank of England guy and China PBOC guy went bad? BBC has another article:
" 'I had anti-government views so they treated me for schizophrenia'
Zhang Junjie held up a blank piece of paper to symbolise censorship and was sent to psychiatric hospital [...]"
"[...]
Junjie, who now lives in New Zealand, is devastated by his experience[...]"
"[...]He was accused of "picking quarrels and troublemaking" - a charge frequently used to silence criticism of the Chinese government. Junjie says he was forcibly hospitalised again for more than two months[...]." (Author is Nyima Pratten)
"[...]Junjie is one of 59 people who the BBC has confirmed - either by speaking to them or their relatives, or by going through court documents - have been hospitalised on mental health grounds after protesting or challenging the authorities.[...]"
"[...]An activist called Jie Lijian told us he had been treated for mental illness without his consent in 2018.[...] He says he was discharged after 52 days.
He now has a part-time job in Los Angeles and is seeking asylum in the US.[...]"
"[..]Speaking to foreign media such as the BBC without permission could get them into trouble, so our only option was to go undercover.[...]"
"[...]Eyes are now on the fate of vlogger Li Yixue, who accused a police officer of sexual assault. Yixue is said to have recently been hospitalised for a second time after her social media posts talking about the experience went viral. It is reported she is now under surveillance at a hotel.[...]"

The author seem to like to write CN related stories, Nyima Pratten, below her "journalism portfolio":
(I suddenly remembered the "protests" abt a bank in CN that was covered alot ng western press/twtr before... im just curious, could this incidents be efforts by foreign entities to try to influence public opinion(?) Using some "public discontent"? Maybe like the car ramming things(?) Or maybe not connected?)
