The elder Mr. Xu’s daughter had already been jailed because of his son’s refusal to return home, jurors were told.
She had already received several threats related to Mr. Xu and knew that the Chinese government was trying to find him, she said.
To thwart them, she arranged a meeting the next day at a nearby mall, rather than at Mr. Xu’s home.
