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.
That was in 2016
Yeah there's no way that guy was allowed to buy train tickets, let alone airplane tickets. He probably had no passport
Yes I read that. So he did time and was released... go on.
What were you trying to say?
