「當時中國受突尼斯茉莉花革命影響……警察來我辦公室和家中，沒收我的電腦和身份證件……一星期後，警察請我去，歸還我的電腦，目的要我與他們合作並保持聯繫。」
Zhang said he was interrogated for nearly 30 hours—often standing, without food and without his eyeglasses.

Zhang was paid for his travel expenses and also about 480 US dollars.

中國論壇(chinaworker.info)網站引述張的說法，「與其成為獨裁政府的間諜，我選擇離開中國。這是我唯一的方式能夠捍衛自己權利，大聲說出而不是沈默，就像許多受國家鎮壓而沉默的人。」
