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.

    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

      Chapter 10 in this book gives lots of examples of political repression in US where activists have been harassed, arrested, and even assassinated by the state https://archive.org/details/DemocracyForTheFew16147062951821

      The fact that you think US government doesn’t do these things says a lot about the effectiveness of western brainwashing.
