Legal basis:
Article 13 of the Criminal Law endangers national sovereignty, territorial integrity and security, splits the country, subverts the people's democratic dictatorship and overturns the socialist system, disrupts social and economic order, infringes on state-owned property or property collectively owned by working people, infringes on citizens' personal rights, democratic rights and other rights, and other acts that endanger society. However, the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great.
