          Do not kiss Uncle Sam’s ass. I’m not about to believe anything based on hearsay.

        The case against him is for collusion with foreign forces to undermine national security.

          That is a very different thing from simply being “pro democracy”, they charged rioters in the US with this excuse and they were also calling themselves pro democracy.

          Still can’t find a clear answer to my question on Google, smells weird to me.

            It’s difficult to find information on Google because vague terms like “pro-democracy” are used leaving the readers to imagine what it means.

            I got what I told you from this Reuters article: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/national-security-trial-hong-kong-pro-democracy-tycoon-postponed-next-sept-2022-12-13/

            If you’re pro-democracy in an authoritarian state you kind of have to collude with foreign democracies.

              Being pro democracy is as vague as it gets. What was he actually fighting for or against?
