If the Chinese Embassies keep calling wolf on journalists they'll just end up getting their embassies shut down -_-

I'm not that surprised to hear that China is doing that kind of shit, their government seems fond of shady shit.

More likely they wont be closed down. China has been doing this kind of stuff for a long time.

It's been doing it for a long time to Chinese that fled the country, yes. This is a first time though they did this to a foreign journalist. Also a first time they start making fake bomb threats to embassies around Europe.

Europe cant afford a pissing match with China in the current economic climate. Odds are this will get buried.

Case in point EU leaders are kowtowing to Xi in the last few weeks

Dutch journalist, maybe. They been threatening Swedish ones for the last decade or so.

Probably a first for the bomb threats though, definitely agree.

Can we confirm the fake bomb threat?
It's a bad place to be if it's only the Journalist's word.

If you read the article, you can read that the bomb threats were confirmed by the embassies, and the dutch police took them serious enough to cordon off the embassy area.

The article by the journalist that could be lying?
...it needs third party verification.

I think you have zero idea about how journalism works in the Netherlands. Volkskrant is a respected newspaper. It's redaction backs the journalist's story. They wouldn't have printed it if they were in doubt.

Here's the NOS (Dutch public radio and tv service) reporting on it
https://nos.nl/artikel/2470611-oud-china-correspondent-volkskrant-geintimideerd-en-bedreigd

Here's the NRC (another respected newspaper and competitor on the newspaper market) reporting on it:
https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/04/11/china-verslaggever-volkskrant-bedreigd-a4161714

Here's an interview about the matter with the chief editor of the Volkskrant by WNL, another Dutch news service:
