He was prosecuted under Chinese law and sentenced according to their laws so we cannot say that another country is wrong because their laws differ from ours in many ways.
If you do a crime in another country do not expect to be treated in the same way that the UK would treat such a crime and ignorance is no defence in law regardless of whatever country you are travelling to, if it is illegal in this country then assume that it is also illegal in that country.
