In his post, he called the government "very litigious" and the judiciary a "pliant court system". As a result, he was fined $15,000. And according to the court orders, it was decided that if he did not pay within two weeks, he would have to spend one week in jail. But Shengwu is based in the United States, so he refused to take part in legal proceedings.

If a wise person reads Mr. Li post, i...
