Chinese activist Kwon Pyong, a critic of Xi Jinping, flees to South Korea on jet ski
With five barrels of petrol, binoculars and a compass, Kwon Pyong navigates a jet ski more than 300 kilometres across the Yellow Sea from Shandong to Incheon.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Chinese rights activist and critic of President Xi Jinping has fled the country on a jet ski, travelling more than 300 kilometres to South Korea, where he was arrested by the coastguard.
Wearing a life vest and helmet, the man crossed the Yellow Sea on a 1,800cc jet ski from Shandong province, using binoculars and a compass to navigate and towing five barrels of fuel.
South Korea-based campaigner Lee Dae-seon, from the Dialogue China NGO, said the escapee was Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong.
"He refilled the petrol on the ride and dumped the empty barrels into the sea," the coastguard said on Tuesday (local time).
When his jet ski got stuck in tidal flats near a cruise terminal at the western port city of Incheon, he called for rescue.
Mr Kwon, 35, had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion, Mr Lee told the AFP news agency on Tuesday.

This guy was prepared AF, towed 5 barrels to refuel along the way 😳 damn
I was going to ask how far that was. Jeez.
Now I can ask how long did that take? *Googling says average jetski is 90 km/h, so about 3.5 hours, but he's pulling 5 barrels.
300 kilometers for anyone not reading the article. He

I went in wondering how far a jetski could get you. Pretty impressive.
That’s the top speed lol. I rented a jet ski once, 130bhp and it could do 70kmh. At that speed it’s super tiring lol
At 60kph which a 1.8 litre jetski should be able to handle fine, that's 5 hours minimum. Considering he would have had to stop for gas and stretch his legs, add a few hours extra.
towing five barrels would slow that to a crawl methinks
Hopefully the coffee is better in the sea than it is at truck stops.
I wonder how long it would take to cross larger bodies of water, and how many barrels you'd need to tow.
Goddam, based on his previous actions he clearly had the balls to do it, but still, that's pretty nuts!! Lol
I hope the sea wasn’t too choppy for him
when I rode through thunderstorm last time it kept hitting my balls.
Had to stand up lol.
Next day it felt like somebody gave me cock and ball torture or sth 🤣🤣
The weight of his balls slowed him down a fair bit...
Guess you could say he ... jetskedaddled.
