Slaves don't pay taxes. Citizens do. Citizens accrue debt to government by not paying taxes.

//Fang Ran, a doctoral student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Hong Kong, was under residential surveillance (secret detention) in a designated residence by the National Security Council for "suspicion of subverting state power" in Nanning, Guangxi on August 26. He is a labor rights activist and his research direction is the labor movement in China. He has also written a book review on Chinese investment in Africa.

I wonder if the University of Hong Kong can respond and care about it?
