Chinese Dissident Escapes to South Korea on Jet Ski
A Chinese dissident, believed to be activist Kwon Pyong, was detained in South Korea after riding a jet ski for hundreds of miles across the Yellow Sea to escape China. The man, who had criticized the Chinese government's authoritarian rule and participated in pro-democracy protests, was apprehended near Incheon and is suspected of entering the country illegally. Activists claim he sought asylum overseas due to political investigations, unfair trials, and surveillance by Chinese authorities. China's increasing censorship and crackdown on dissent have led to heightened public fury and protests.
