Chinese protester defied China's Communist Party – after fleeing to Britain

It took months of elaborate planning for Qi Hong to stage a rare anti-government protest in China, launched on the eve of a major military parade in Beijing. Early deliberations led him to realise that unfurling a large red protest banner – in the style of propaganda slogans across the country – would be far too dangerous. Previous solo demonstrators that pioneered the method had been promptly arrested and imprisoned. So he settled on an innovative idea – to project a message outdoors onto an urban block to maximise reach, which could be activated remotely. “I purposefully chose to stage the protest in an area with many university students, and on a building that’s mostly a dormitory,” Mr Qi told the Telegraph, in his first sit-down interview. “My main priority was to make sure that they saw these messages.” #China #xijinping
