South Korea's Coast Guard says it had detained a Chinese man in his 30s on August 16, after he had traveled from China on a 1,800 cc jet ski, wearing a life jacket and helmet and carrying a telescope, compass, and 5 containers of fuel
SEOUL, South Korea – A Chinese man who rode a jet ski more than 300 km across the sea to South Korea from China was jailed in his homeland several years ago for making fun of its leader, Xi Jinping, a South Korean activist said on Wednesday, August 23.
The Coast Guard did not identify the man who was taken into custody in the western coastal city of Incheon. Reuters was not immediately able to contact the man and a press officer at the Chinese embassy declined to comment. “He appears to have decided to flee after feeling political pressure,” said Lee, who said he had visited Kwon in a detention center on Tuesday.
Kwon appeared to be in good health after his jet ski voyage, which South Korean media said took 14 hours, Lee said.
