Same with the people going to russia or dubai. This dude was actually a semi citizen of hong kong so surely he knew that it was dangerous to go there.
Edit: As people seem to be mad, i am not saying he deserves any of this. Its horrible what the people of Hong Kong are forced to go through, but there is this thing called "travel advisories" that every western country has for its citizens. If you take 5mins to look at the info for hong kong you would realize that no sane person would ever willingly go there in the current political climate.
This dude is right, why the downvotes?

To answer your question: The comment comes across as criticism, in a way similar to saying: "Sophie Scholl new the Nazis were killers. If she's been executed, it's her own fault for being part of the resistance." (a deliberately exaggerated comparison)
It's accepting evil power, instead of fighting back or at least supporting those who try to push back.
