And that justifies the students getting jailed?

will you be jailed for threatening to overthrow your govt illegally?

No? Do you live in a place that you would?

I think yes

There is literally no evidence of this in the article. There is no family named, no specific protest the person attended, and not even a specific university.

No investigation in China at all. Nothing being claimed is even worth the guardian posting the article without covering it with “allegedly” everywhere.

Is this really the level of evidence you think is enough for you to instantly believe?

I'll give you credit. You play the same character in every thread.

I am ideologically consistent

The source of all of this is from an unnamed family in Australia who says their relative was jailed for that reason. Like, we have zero idea of what this is even referring to.

And the article isn’t doing any of this to “protect” the family. If they had any real evidence of this the entire article wouldn’t be covered with “allegedly”.

They couldn’t even get a comment from the Australian universities. They don’t even mention a specific university or protest. Like, there is just literally nothing here that is verifiable.

The entire article is just “Maya Wang” says. Someone who is not involved with the family or university as far as I can tell.

Though she does have several connections to the US state department; with her entire faceless Twitter profile just filled with a lot of posts, with similar levels of evidence (vague or none), about China. Totally unrelated I’m sure.
