There's no element of this story that couldn't have happened in the US, and no reason presented to believe that your brother wasn't involved in something shady under Chinese law, other than the fact that the situation was resolved in his favor.

> He had zero due process.

Are you saying that Chinese law wasn't followed?

Maybe but it's a lot less likely to happen AND it might make the news over here if it did happen. That was my original point.

You aren't going to see many (or any?) media stories that are critical of the government in China.
