- leereeves 7y agoThank you for questioning that. Some articles (like [1]) said he was arrested, but the BBC said[2]: > Four days later he was summoned to the Public Security Bureau where he was told to sign a letter. In the letter he was accused of "making false comments" that had "severely disturbed the social order". > "We solemnly warn you: If you keep being stubborn, with such impertinence, and continue this illegal activity, you will be brought to justice - is that understood?" Underneath in Dr Li's handwriting is written: "Yes, I do." I misunderstood. But the point remains the same, just replace "jailed" with "threatened". 1: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-02-06/coronavirus-china-xi-li-wenliang https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-02-06/corona... 2: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51364382 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51364382
