A jet ski rider who has been detained since he washed up on South Korea’s coast is believed to be a Chinese dissident who feared for his safety and fled by crossing hundreds of miles of sea, trailing barrels of fuel behind him.
The coast guard in the western South Korean port city of Incheon said in a statement Sunday that a Chinese man in his 30s tried to illegally enter the country Aug. 16 by riding a jet ski from the Shandong area of China, an eastern province around 200 miles away across the Yellow Sea.
People like him are welcome in the non-authoritarian part of thè world. Just sad that he had to leave family and friends behind.
Also, very cool stunt!
any country a citizen needs to run from in fear for their life is objectively an utter shithole
Like the US?
Are there many people from the US seeking asylum in other countries or migrating at high numbers?
Snowden
Less in fear for his life, and more in fear of jail time. Which he shouldn’t have had to fear, don’t get me wrong. But there’s still a big difference in scale between fleeing jail and fleeing death.
For violating the espionage act? The Rosenbergs were executed for that. US psyops truly out in force.
There was Snowden , alghtough other than that there wasnt that many cases.
There will be soon. The entire west is quickly becoming uninhabitable.
Got em
American, don’t really disagree
Lee said Kwon attended Iowa State University and has a degree in aerodynamics.
He puts his knowledge to good use.
Nobody noticed the dude zip tying 300 miles worth of fuel to his jet ski?
It’s not that much fuel. From what I can tell, jet skis usually get about 20 miles per gallon, so he would need 15 gallons of fuel, minimum
Article states a lot more than that.
He Is a Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will
And a lot of petroleum.
Like that last scene in resident evil 4, he might be carrying the President’s daughter too.
Most fun defection ever! Going to lose his deposit though.
Jk jk that’s a terrible joke.
He can afford jet ski, but not a plane ticket?
