A Portuguese man has become the first European citizen jailed under the China-imposed National Security Law in Hong Kong, a law widely criticised by rights groups.
Joseph John, also known as Wong Kin-chung, holds dual Portuguese and Hong Kong nationality and was previously based in the UK.
He was arrested for posting pro-independence and anti-China content on social media, after returning to Hong Kong to visit family in 2022
In February, he was convicted of “secession” and on Thursday sentenced to five years in jail.
If they dont give any words to their disagreement im just gonna assume they are china fanboys that think nothing is wrong with chinas treatment of hongkong.
What?
Have you not seen these kinds of people on here before? They just downvote you for saying something objectively true like “There is a Uyghur genocide”
Your reply implies that i dont, but its pretty obvious from my comment that i do “care about whats happening in hong kong”. So whats your point?
Im talking about the guy that went to hong kong, you seem to be wondering why. Im saying maybe he cares about hong kong
OOoh thats the first time that “they” plural and “they” singular led to confusion for me lol Yeah ofcourse i cant blame him for caring about his home and family, but being in prison doesnt help either of those i think.
But i admit i am in no position to judge his decision, because i simply cant imagine what its like to be in that position.
