Doubtful. I don't know if it's true, but, from the article:

> “We’re seeing the Chinese government resort to blackmail, threats of violence, stalking and kidnappings. They’ve actually engaged criminal organisations in the US, offering them bounties in hopes of successfully taking targets back to China,” said Mr Wray last year.

You don't blackmail or threaten terror suspects, you'd kidnap them immediately. And from the numbers, if "thousands" is accurate, there isn't that much terrorism going on.

Looks more like an intimidation campaign against oppositional Chinese people living abroad.
