Authoritarians often give vague or even contradictory justifications for arresting people. Apple Daily was promoting democracy in Hong Kong which was enough for him to be made an example of.
Democracy is a vague word that can mean different things. Both US and China call themselves democracies. Tell me what those justifications actually are and I can judge for myself instead of just believing whatever I’m told.
They didn’t need justifications, at least not specific ones. There’s a very distinct implication here that China vaguely found this man’s pro-democracy speech and assembly dangerous to the establishment and that was enough
