Hello fellow Christians, i'm a Chinese citizen and under Zersetzung harassment in China. This kind of psychological troubling is like what David experienced in the book of Psalms.

I have been a Christian/Jesus believer since 2009. Due to my faith I was forced to quit the Communist Party of China in 2022 by the command of the college Party Secretary at that time. Currently I and my family are under severe Zersetzung/Gang Stalking harassment by the local secret police and their liners. This kind of psychological weapon is brutal and hard to describe. They stirred up the neighborhood to hate and therefore harass me, and poured the "dirty water" on me saying that I'm mentally illed. The surrounding environment is increasingly hostile and they expressed their hatred for me without any cause. Now i'm under heavy pressure, persecution and suffer from depression, and nearly commit suicide. This atrocity is a direct violation of the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

So if you can, please save us out of this fiery pit. Help us denounce this kind of psychological weapon aiming to force me to kill myself or drive me insane. Many thanks and God bless you.
 
I had to look up this term "Zersetzung harassment" and I see it's a real thing. Grace to you, and prayers to you.

FYI for others who were ignorant like me, here's the Google AI overview:


Zersetzung Harassment

"Zersetzung harassment" is a term used by some to describe modern forms of state-sponsored psychological warfare and organized harassment in China that are modeled on the methods of the East German secret police (Stasi).

Tactics Used

The term Zersetzung (German for "decomposition" or "disintegration") describes techniques designed to secretly destroy the self-confidence, reputation, and social stability of political opponents and dissidents, making them unable to continue their activities. The goal is to make the victim appear to collapse on their own, without any obvious evidence of harm.

In China, authorities use a similar playbook, often referred to as "organized harassment" or "stability maintenance psychological warfare," which has been digitized and socialized.

Methods reportedly include:
  • Smear campaigns: Spreading false information or rumors about the target's character to destroy their reputation.
  • Social isolation: Engineering the victim's social exclusion from their community, friends, and family.
  • Career sabotage: Undermining their professional life, engineering professional failures, and controlling their income/bank accounts.
  • Psychological pressure: Using constant intimidation, surveillance, threats (including anonymous ones), and property damage to give the target the impression their life is in continual danger.
  • Transnational repression: These tactics extend beyond China's borders, targeting diaspora communities and their family members back home to silence criticism abroad.
  • Digital monitoring: Utilizing advanced technology, big data, and AI for surveillance and information manipulation to control narratives and sow distrust.
  • Exploitation of personal life: Gathering private information to devise strategies to "disintegrate" personal circumstances, including family relationships.
Human rights organizations such as Freedom House and Human Rights Watch have published numerous reports detailing these and other forms of psychological and physical harassment used by the Chinese government against critics, human rights defenders, and ethnic/religious minorities both domestically and internationally.

Know that as long as you endure to the end, those people will be delivered into your hand.

Have you thought about leaving China? Not sure if there's a country of preference for the Chinese but Australia seems nearby.
 
Thank you @RoboOp @crmvet @Ceph @Eli1 @jacko for your kind-hearted prayer. I love China and am reluctant to leave my homeland. But if the persecution keeps deteriorating i think i will be forced to leave here. This high load of harassment and hatred make me in depression and affect my working performance. It seems that sooner or later they will deprive my job on the excuse of i'm beside myself. thank you all again for your Christlike support.

Hello! How are you doing today? I hope you had a peaceful night. It's nice to meet you, and I would love for us to get to know each other better. If you don't mind sharing, I would love to hear more about yourself.
 
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save our brother from all them that persecute him, and deliver him: Lest they tear his soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

O Lord my God, If he has rewarded evil unto the government when it was at peace with him; let them persecute his soul Amen.

But if not, Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of our enemies: and awake for our brethren in China to the judgment that thou hast commanded. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If they turn not, He will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high. Amen.
 
I said a small prayer for you. I can't imagine what that must be like. It all sounds awful. May God give you strength and protect you.
