The jet-ski escapee is Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong. He had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion.

      Treason and sedition is a no-no around the world…

      There’s a difference between going “yo government y’all suck” and “let’s take up arms and overthrow the government”

        Yeah the American government always imprisons those who make fun of them. Exactly the same as this for sure.

          Please show me where he was arrested for criticising the Chinese state.

          Pretty ironic comment coming from @[email protected] I thought liberals had labelled him a russian spy
