I agree with what you say about Hong Kong
He does say he would like to end up in Iceland
Wonder why he did not go there in the first place
Such an immensely brave and honest person

Actually, and I think this is pointed out in either the video or an
article somewhere, Hong Kong doesn't generally suffer the speech
restrictions mainland China does. Sure, they aren't completely free but
protests and unpopular political speech happen quite frequently and are
generally well tolerated by the government.
Still, I have to wonder why he didn't go somewhere like Iceland. To me,
that would have been a no-brainer.
