He was going to be arrested in China, but his insiders tipped him off and he "fled" to Hong Kong. Not the brightest, since Hong Kong is still part of China and they arrested him there. I guess that's why it's an "abduction", supposedly the law didn't allow for extradition from Hong Kong to the mainland due to the autonomy of HK. This was before the national security law and HK riots (he was arrested in 2017).
