"Is it possible to get a fair and just trial in China?"

What makes you ask a such question? Here are some bad ideas which comes to my mind:

* you think China is inferior?

* or maybe Chinese are inferior?

* maybe you think they always lie?

* or maybe they don't have laws?

* maybe plain old racism?

Forgive me, but your question sounds so bad. Counter question, did any of war criminals get a fair trial in the USA? (I am not listing countries they did war crimes, because there are too many)



> What makes you ask a such question?

Obviously, it is that a political opponent of the administration is facing life in prison seemingly for being an outspoken critic of the administration.


Calling on other nations to harm your country is generally considered treason in any country.

If you own a newspaper and use that platform to make such a request, you're likely to attract a law enforcement response wherever you are.


He isn't a political opponent, he isn't a politician. He met with high-ranking officials of a foreign nation and lobbied them to take action that he believed would harm China and lead to a change in government.

I also wouldn't call him outspoken critic either. For obvious reasons, the main one being a level of economic development unknown in human history, there isn't very much to criticize outside of politics. His gripe is solely political in that he believes that a different system of government is required (one assumes with more input from people like himself, again though he isn't a politician and, afaik, has no real political positions apart from supporting Trump and NY Post-style sensationalism/xenophobia, iirc they created a meme depicting mainlanders as locusts...it is quite funny to see people who, I can only assume, are not massive fans of Trump cream themselves over the Chinese equivalent).


Is the US currently running massive concentration camps? Is the US currently involved in large scale organ harvesting?

China isn't running massive concentration camps, nor is it involved in large scale organ harvesting.
