    Umm, China got its feelings hurt on its national day? It was the 70th anniversary, I remember watching Xi dressed up like Mao (sans hat, no one fucks with Xi's poofy hair) in the morning parade, then went out to protest...

    “His presence at that press conference was a deliberate act to rally support for and publicly spotlight the unauthorised assembly that followed. He need not use words of incitement to intend to incite others,” the reason for verdict read.
