Chinese Intellectuals Join Support for N. Korean Refugees

That'll have as much effect as the words of American intellectuals...
Opposition is growing within China against the forced repatriation of North Korean defectors who were arrested there, with columnists, novelists and other intellectuals posting comments on the social media criticizing Beijing's policy.

They called on the Chinese government to deal with the North Korean defectors under humanitarian principles.

Some comments on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, directly criticized Beijing. One survey on the site conducted by a user in Shanghai showed that 75 percent of respondents were against sending the North Koreans back.
