Even more disturbing, on the second day of the trial, the Chinese police formally arrested Xu Zhiyong, a human-rights lawyer who was leading a campaign to force mandatory disclosure of the wealth of senior officials and their family members. The Chinese government has also begun a ferocious crackdown on social media, arresting prominent activists on dubious charges.
更令人不安的是，审判第二天，中国警方正式逮捕了人权律师许志永，许在被捕前是强制公开高官及其家属财产运动的领导者。中国政府还开始凶狠地镇压社交媒体，以可疑罪名逮捕著名的社会网络评论家。
