The curious case of Yang Hengjun

 Donald Rothwell has a very useful article on Yang Hengjun.

The Chinese government have been very Trumpian in their handling of this matter. Lots of assertions but have provided no evidence. The Chinese law system is very opaque and this is being highly euphemistic.

I must admit to being totally confused why Hengjun would be in China. He was highly critical of the country and was very much to the fore in the hong kong democracy protests. Of course if he was a spy it would be even more absurd.

This is now tough for the Australian government. They have little to negotiate.

It is yet a further blackmark over China.
