A 35-year-old dissident who served jail time for wearing T-shirts likening Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Hitler fled to South Korea in a daring 300-kilometer (185-mile) escape over the sea by jet ski.

The escape came as Beijing grapples with a mass “run” movement of people leaving China in recent months.
