If he is deported to China, he will likely face execution or life in prison. We should not be deporting people to countries where their lives will be in danger. According to both US and international law, it is illegal to return someone to a country where they could face persecution or torture.

Since we released this @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social documentary two years ago, more information has come to light that Boris Johnson went to this meeting to discuss a 'backchannel' to Putin with Alexander Lebedev, who was working for the Kremlin in Crimea at the time
