With five barrels of petrol, binoculars and a compass, Kwon Pyong navigates a jet ski more than 300 kilometres across the Yellow Sea from Shandong to Incheon.
A Chinese rights activist and critic of President Xi Jinping has fled the country on a jet ski, travelling more than 300 kilometres to South Korea, where he was arrested by the coastguard.
Wearing a life vest and helmet, the man crossed the Yellow Sea on a 1,800cc jet ski from Shandong province, using binoculars and a compass to navigate and towing five barrels of fuel.
South Korea-based campaigner Lee Dae-seon, from the Dialogue China NGO, said the escapee was Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong.
“He refilled the petrol on the ride and dumped the empty barrels into the sea,” the coastguard said on Tuesday (local time).
When his jet ski got stuck in tidal flats near a cruise terminal at the western port city of Incheon, he called for rescue.
Mr Kwon, 35, had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion, Mr Lee told the AFP news agency on Tuesday.
