A Chinese pro-democracy activist imprisoned in the early 1990s for “counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement,” after which he fled to the United States, claims that X, the Elon Musk-owned social network, unilaterally shuttered his account based on disinformation circulated by Beijing.
Former student leader Wilson Lei Chen, also known as Chen Pokong, says higher-ups at X took the Chinese Communist Party’s false accusations at face value, subsequently cutting him off from his 150,000 followers with “zero explanation,” according to a $2 million-plus lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
