      I am not a fan of the Guardian, but according to the subject of the article (they call him Li), he is a dissident and was under active investigation. I don’t think they would have just let him leave

          Assange is Australian so I’m not sure how that’s relevant

          Just because one state is also shitty to dissenters does not mean another state isn’t. They don’t cancel each other out.

          Dissident is pretty vague, probably on purpose. As much as I dislike the US government, I can say the government here is shit and not get hauled to jail for the most part. The same is not necessarily true in China

              I think you 100% missed the point. No matter how the US treats people, China can also treat people terribly. They are not mutually exclusive.
