A Chinese student in the US has been sentenced to nine months in prison for stalking and threatening a female Chinese student who put up pro-democracy fliers on campus.
The fliers, put up at the Berklee College of Music in Boston in late 2022, read: “We want freedom… We want democracy, we want to love, stand with Chinese people.”
In response, Xiaolei Wu said he would “chop [the woman’s] hands off”.
A federal judge has ordered that the 26-year-old be deported after serving his sentence.
“What Mr. Wu did in weaponising the authoritarian nature of the People’s Republic of China to threaten this woman is incredibly disturbing," said Jodi Cohen, who leads the FBI’s Boston Division that investigated the case.
The pro-democracy fliers were put up in late October 2022 during a wave of activism among Chinese people abroad.
Justice well served.
Forget what his name was, but during the revolution there was a world acclaimed Chinese pianist. Mao had his hands cut off.
His name was Liu Shikun. Despite Mao having committed many atrocities, this one is just an urban legend spread for decades by rubes who don’t bother to verify if the things they hear are true or not.
Well great. If an urban llegend, it started during the revolution.
*slow clap*
Good. Punish authoritarian scum.
