    As far as I understand from the article, by Chinese law what they’re accusing him of is a crime, so technically this is much, much stupider.

      Yes it’s a very stupid law. “No cooking fried rice on anniversary of death of son of great leader who cooked fried rice in Korean War during bombing run, literally exposing his own position”

          If you’re seriously questioning this, then the actual terrible laws and acts going on in China would BLOW your mind in… five.

            I’m a bit informed about the current situation actually. It’s just that the reason behind this law in particular is just… Comical…

              Yeah, they imprisoned a Chinese UFC fighter who said he could beat any traditional Chinese martial artist because their kung fu doesn’t work in the real world.

              They agreed to set up the match and when he, predictably, beat the living shit out of the spiritual mumbo jumbo guy, over and over again, they claimed he intentionally dishonored China and tried to lock him up.

          No, it’s a law criminalizing the act of insulting “heroes and martyrs”

          Same regime that outlawed posting pictures of Winnie the Pooh because he was being compared to their figurehead. With that context, the surprise should be…lessened.
