A Hong Kong man is facing as long as 10 years in jail after he pleaded guilty to sedition for wearing a T-shirt featuring a protest slogan.
In court on Monday, Chu Kai-pong, 27, was the first person to be convicted under Hong Kong’s tough homegrown national security law enacted in March.

He was arrested on June 12 at a train station wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times”, and a yellow mask printed with “FDNOL” – the shorthand for another pro-democracy slogan, “five demands, not one less”. June 12 is a date associated with protests in the city in 2019.

Chu’s lawyer argued that the maximum he could be given would be two years.
What would US police have done?

And this person was wearing a t-shirt. He was convicted for wearing a t-shirt.
He was convicted for rioting
I was there, I fixed it for them.
Also the “tough homegrown national security law” contains only 4 clauses; No Treason, No Sedition, No terrorism and no foreign funding of political parties.
