As a pro-democracy activist is locked away for life, a shiny new Chinese embassy rises like a monument to hypocrisy. One sentence silences dissent — the other paves way for diplomacy with dead eyes.

🚧 Constructing Power, Demolishing Dissent

Isn’t it poetic? A man loses his freedom for wanting people to have a say, while a government that doesn’t tolerate questions breaks ground on a new embassy — that architectural handshake they use to smile internationally while jailing their own at home. 🤝🧱

What’s the charge, again? Oh yes — wanting democracy. Which in today’s upside-down diplomacy dictionary translates to “subversion.” Meanwhile, the real subversion wears suits, signs trade deals, and hosts polite luncheons in taxpayer-polished marble halls.

But don’t worry — the embassy will have excellent security. Wouldn’t want any awkward protesters reminding folks about the life sentence handed down for holding a sign.

And spare us the “internal matter” routine. When a regime treats peaceful speech like terrorism and diplomacy like an alibi, that’s not sovereignty. That’s stagecraft — with prison bars for footlights and embassies as velvet curtains.

Because let’s be real:

This isn’t about justice. It’s about making an example.

One man loses everything so a regime can say: “See? That’s what happens when you don’t shut up.” 🎭

Where’s the outrage? Where’s the courage to call it what it is — tyranny in a tie? If you’ve ever wondered how democracies die, here’s a hint: not with a bang, but with silence from those who should’ve spoken. So say something. Loudly. In our comments. 🗣️💬
