I know that, what did this guy actually do?
The case against him is for collusion with foreign forces to undermine national security.
That is a very different thing from simply being "pro democracy", they charged rioters in the US with this excuse and they were also calling themselves pro democracy.
Still can't find a clear answer to my question on Google, smells weird to me.
With limited information, knowing what we know about the Chinese government, I know I sure ain’t giving them the benefit of the doubt here
Edit: interesting to see which way this sentiment swings the votes here
