A Chinese dissident known for posting pictures on social media commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown says he had fled to Taiwan and pleaded for help seeking asylum in the United States or Canada.
It is unclear how Cheng was able to travel to Taiwan, and The Associated Press has not been able to reach him for comment. Taiwan is a self-governing island that is claimed by China.
In the post, Cheng described being harassed by state security police over the years during such “sensitive period” around the anniversary dates.
