    Why didn’t he just take a plane? Just a stupid publicity stunt.

          heres the very beginning of the linked article that you’re asking about: 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.

            Yes I read that. So he did time and was released… go on.

            What were you trying to say?

                Chinese people don’t have freedom to travel…

            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.

              That’s an awful long winded way of saying he was jailed for wrongthink.

              After getting arrested like that, I doubt he has enough social credit score to be able to buy a plane ticket abroad without getting autorejected by the system. Not to mention getting a passport itself is super duper hard in china even without arrest records.

            Nothing you said backs up your original claim. And more importantly, is completely irrelevant.

                Lol you lemmygrad people hate hearing from people who have actually lived and worked in China.

                No it’s very interesting actually, when it’s relevant. You claimed that Chinese people didn’t have freedom of movement, then went rambling on about how Chinese people do have freedom of movement.

                If he tried to buy an airplane ticket it’s possible he would have been denied.

                You just pulled that out of your ass though, didn’t you?

                Riding a jetski across open ocean is pretty dangerous and not preferable.

                But it gets you in the news. It was a stupid gimmick and you know it.

                So maybe it was a stunt but… Risky move.

                So we’re in complete agreement.

                China stopped issuing new passports in recent years.

                Jesus christ man. Use your brain.

                It’s possible that the guy’s passport expired

                Pathetic.

                    I just ran down a list of possibilities

                    You were caught lying about Chinese people not having freedom of travel. You’re going to have to learn to accept that.

                    Why do you feel a need to knee-jerk glorify and defend a nation-state you’ve never lived in or associated with?

                    Because it’s a target of the USA. Simples.

                    simply described a facet of life in China without hyperbole

                    A completely irrelevant facet of life that had nothing to do with what we were talking about.
