Three-and-a-half years after fleeing China, Ruqiang Yu will be able to
make his case that he faced persecution for protesting the treatment of
workers in a state-owned factory.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overruled earlier findings of both an immigration judge and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that Yu faced an isolated, “aberrational,” instance of corruption at the hands of the Chinese government.
The Department of Justice argued the case against Yu.
Yu was employed in management at a state-run airplane factory in China.
When factory officials started refusing to pay his workers based on a supposed slump in business, Yu saw through his superiors’ fabrication.
Due to his high position in the company, he knew that factory officials had been embezzling money for months and spending it lavishly on themselves.
When unpaid workers came to Yu in protest, he took action, even though he himself still received a salary.
Yu wrote an anonymous letter to the government’s Anti-Corruption Bureau revealing the officials involved in the embezzlement.
