You really didn’t think this one through huh
Maybe you can explain it to me? Nobody else can.
Citizen of dictatorship country criticizes govt with a fucking t-shirt
Is aggressively pursued for beating and jail time
Flees to other country, gets caught anyways by said dictatorship.
Maybe if you weren’t a brain dead tankie troll you’d understand better buddy :)
He wasn't wanted. He was a free citizen leading a normal life after he was in prison for inciting violence against the government for spreading messages that Xi is equivalent to Hitler and participating in Tienanmen revisionism to glorify that time when students violently attempted to create a counter-revolution and killed 200 soldiers while the US cheered them on hoping for another color revolution.
So after that he decides to pull a publicity stunt that he absolutely didn't need to do and what he chose to do was flee to South Korea, a US military vassal state that literally just asked the US to station tactical nukes on it.
This guy is as right-wing reactionary as they come.
And you claim he is the one guilty of revisionism.
That's an awful long winded way of saying he was jailed for wrongthink.
