South Korea's coastguard said Tuesday it had arrested a Chinese national who tried to enter the country after travelling by jet ski from China -- a journey of more than 300 kilometres (186 miles).

Wearing a life vest and helmet, the man crossed the Yellow Sea on a 1800-cc jet ski from Shandong province, using binoculars and a compass to navigate and towing five barrels of fuel.

"He refilled the petrol on the ride and dumped the empty barrels into the sea," the coastguard said in a press release.

That’s actually pretty badass.

"While his means of entry into South Korea in violation of the law was wrong, surveillance of the Chinese authorities and political persecution of Kwon since 2016 are behind his life-risking crossing into South Korea," Lee said.

"He is now weighing whether to apply for refugee status in South Korea or choose a third country," he said.

Well, that's nice. Glad they don't even consider sending him back or something. Hope he gets out of this well.

Hope he gets asylum.

China simps will find a way to say this is also exactly like what America would do

"Let’s work together and topple this invisible wall" Mr. Kwon said in the Twitter post

He described himself as “dedicated to overturning communism.”
