Chinese activist who mocked Xi Jinping flees to South Korea on jet ski, arrested
"While his means of entry into South Korea in violation of the law was wrong, surveillance of the Chinese authorities and political persecution of Kwon since 2016 are behind his life-risking crossing into South Korea," Lee said.
"He is now weighing whether to apply for refugee status in South Korea or choose a third country," he said.
Well, that's nice. Glad they don't even consider sending him back or something. Hope he gets out of this well.
If this had happened in my country (UK) he'd be in a concentration camp by now.
Nice to know some countries are still civilised
Can you provide context and a source for that claim? Seems very sensational and hyperbolic
Edited to add: it was sensational and hyperbolic. They were referring to asylum centres to reduce the cost of housing asylum seekers. There are issues here but they are certainly not concentration camps - calling them such is at minimum very disrespectful to those who have suffered and died in actual concentration camps.
Or Rwanda. They love sending immigrants to Rwanda.
"Let’s work together and topple this invisible wall" Mr. Kwon said in the Twitter post
He described himself as “dedicated to overturning communism.”
showing images saying “use our votes to overthrow the government”
Hoh boy
Yeah I was expecting stuff like "Maybe don't chain people into apartment buildings because one dude got COVID?"
That be treason.
No country likes treason.
Counter revolutionary let's run him over with a tank
China simps will find a way to say this is also exactly like what America would do
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"
"Someone will find a way to make this about America" he said, immediately making it about America.
I fucking love this story
I wonder how long it takes hexbear to blame white western liberals for their leaders weak personality?
not fast enough, clearly
He even drove almost 500 kilometer
Lemmygrad and HexBears Xi groupies: "You just committed a graaaave sin"
Are there any personal thoughts or insights about the article you wish to share?
SKCG didn't want to identify him but someone else identified him anyway. lmao why do the agencies even try.
Bro studied in Iowa 😐
Lots of Chinese citizens come to the US to study. Look into the Confucius Institute (孔子学院). Many (probably most) universities in the US have partnerships with them (which has led to many conspiracy theories by paranoid people).
Lol
Real OG
That shirt is giving big "Fuck Trudeau" vibes. It's funny how libs who claim to be leftists will cheer on Chinese right wing extremists (Kwon Pyong) just because "China bad".
Word soup
right wing means things I dont like
oh shid oh fug I misread the comment I thought it was typical liberal accusations of China being right wing 😳 😓
I can see how the phrasing of my comment could be taken that way. Edited for clarity.
Here's another article that claims him to be a "critic" of the Tiananmen Square "massacre". A thing that objectively did not happen.
Why didn't he just take a plane? Just a stupid publicity stunt.
Rich boater fucks around, finds out.
😏
That’s actually pretty badass.
totally completely 100% badass
Does anyone know what the sea is like on that trip? I would think if it was not very calm this would be a nightmare.
I don't really know but...
Looking at it on a map it looks like it's a huge bay, enclosed on 3 sides. I doubt there would be any significant "swell". There might be small waves whipped up on a windy day but barely enough to trouble you on a jet ski particularly if you're moving.
The main risk would be exposure. Too hot, too cold or too much sun even on a cold day can really fuck you up.
I've sailed there, granted it was on a merchant ship, and it varies a lot. If it's little or no wind or a slight breeze from the west he would be fine weatherwise but when we had a small storm pass through it was a bit rough even on a 200m ship. Would look carefully on the weather report before attempting this, especially since he was towing his fuel.
1800cc? That's a bigger engine than my car. In fairness, it sounds like my car gets better mileage.
I dunno... Even with a full tank, I bet your car is not going to get very far into the water.
