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.
He was trying to cross a border illegally. So yeah, its exactly what america would do, except maybe they would have shot him.
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 @SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org I thought liberals had labelled him a russian spy
It's in the article.
but he didnt escape from jail and steal a jetski
Yeah I'm sure the Chinese government would freely admit to that being the reason lol
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.
Does america arrest people LEAVING the country?
This guy was arrested by south Korea, not China.
Oh yeah and america definitely does.
Yeah, and put them in Guantanamo Bay
