Who the fuck cares about Shen Tong? The shithead asked for it. 
Chinese Government clearly stipulated that student exiles are welcomed
to return to China as long as they do not participate in any activities 
prejudicial to the national interests. That implies that all the assholes
fucking around brandishing their notions of what is good for China 
should not return to China to organise stupid anti-Government activities
funded by foreign governments or agencies. It does not matter what
kind of banner you wish to uphold...democracy, bullshit, religious shit
etc. Shen Tong wished to fuck the system in the eyes of the world. The 
system fucks back! Few countries around the world would welcome agitators
to return to their home country to establish rebellion and overthrow of the
ruling government. S. T. knowingly fucked with the law. Let the law fuck
him. May not be the best law in the world but once the regulations have
been clearly established....it's not up to Shen Tong and his bunch of 
advisers to toy with the law and then cry foul afterwards when they are
implemented. No need for us all to sell our backsides as well signing all
these fucking pompous bullshit. Shen Tong will be news as long as 
western newspapers think he is newsworthy. No more call for Chinese
cunts for sale please.
