    Like Sir Gordon Wu said a while back ... "you kids are f'ed in the head if you think China needs an extradition law". Or something like that.

    Apparently he was detained on Aug 8 travelling in - strange it has taken this long for it to be reported.

    I'd assume they were trying to get him released without going public?

    He is a British Consulate staff member and he spells "border" as "boarder"?

    Why would he ask whoever to pray for him going through the border?

    Come on! WhatsApp, auto-correct!

    I think something like that might be said somewhat jokingly. I think I said something similar when I crossed the border recently, like "Here it goes...".

    Only people like @hullexile can spell these days

    He's actually got a very nice cv - MS from London School of Economics.

    British National Overseas Passport - might be detained to punish UK (for phoning Lam) - everyone is left to guess if they have done something wrong.

    as bad as the septic tanks and their Rendition kidnaps

    On August 10, the Immigration Department confirmed that Cheng had been "administratively detained, but had no further details. "Till now, we have not received any Notice of Administrative Detention, supposed to be sent out within 24 hours of a person's detention. We simply have never received any documentation confirming that Simon has been formally detained by the authorities,"
    apparently, they knew he was detained on 10-8-2019, China didn't issue the notice within the required 24 hours, so they sit back and wait??? Probably still waiting
