Their crime? Writing articles that criticise China's political system and the Communist Party that sits at the apex of power. One more writer awaits trial.



I like this part: "... the prosecutors claimed his words demonstrated "anti-government thoughts" and it should be presumed he would take part in "anti-government actions"."

Democrats want this for themselves. Anyone who doesn't agree with them deserves to be killed or locked away.
