As FBI director Wray is cited in 'How China Tries to Intimidate Its Dissidents Living Overseas' (2020), for example:

In one case, according to Wray, the CCP “sent an emissary to visit the target’s family here in the United States.” This emissary warned the target that he or she “had two options: return to China promptly, or commit suicide.”

A more recent analysis on China's illegal police stations can be found at 'China's Consular Volunteers.'

But there are very good sources across the web.

Addition:

In December 2021, a 'Private Investigator' working for the CCP has been advised to also consider physically attacking the Victim. In a voice message intercepted by the police, it was said:

You can start thinking now, aside from violence, what other plans are there? Huh? But in the end, violence would be fine too. Huh? Beat him [chuckles], beat him until he cannot run for election. Heh, that’s the-the last resort. You-you think about it. Car accident, [he] will be completely wrecked [chuckles], right? Don’t know, eh, whatever ways from all different angles.
