China’s crackdown on dissent is getting more extreme – and bizarre – by the day. In an outrageous abuse of power, the pro-Beijing leader of Hong Kong has announced that a bounty has been placed on the heads of eight pro-democracy activists. John Lee says he’ll pay $200,000 for the capture of each one.
