On the tenth anniversary of the 709 Incident, human rights lawyer Fang Xiangui, who was once persecuted, has gone into exile in the UK. He stated that over the past decade, China has imposed further shackles on the judiciary, handling sensitive cases solely in accordance with the Party's opinions, regardless of any legal norms. As China's international profile has grown, international attention to human rights issues in China has declined. Despite international attention, the Chinese government has ignored the case of the Covenant Home in Linfen, Shaanxi.
