At first, China’s hard-line leadership insisted the couple confess to criminal charges and surrender to security forces. Instead, Fang and Li merely admitted the obvious: their views violate the Chinese Constitution. And they promised the inevitable: they would not “oppose” China (the wording did not specify the Beijing regime).
