This is the kind of stuff better foreign relations would smooth out nicely. You'd never see a news headline. There'd be zero drama.
How do you have better foreign relations? Better compatibility between legal systems would be a start. What sense is their putting a westerner up against a socialist legal system? They're not citizens. I can only imagine how much this man is being traumatized by this.
Reading material on China's criminal justice system (pdf): https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1161&context=jj_pubs https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...
China has different types of detainment. It doesn't specify if he's in the administrative kind or the one facing much more serious repercussions.
This is just one area where China's incompatibility is going to end up costing it. You don't see the intellectual property stolen / royalties, and people who would potential bring wealth to China if they weren't so stubbornly insistent on maintaining an oligarchy.
Who is China's gov really working for? Nobody knows, it's so opaque. But if their system - which they subject their own citizens and foreigners alike to - was so humane and just, why not show the innards of it to demonstrate the virtuosity and benevolence of it?
