Request for comment relating to an unblock request

You have blocked an editor called Huffendal, without access to talk page or email. The editor has requested an unblock on UTRS. The editor's one and only edit does not provide an obvious reason for the block, but you gave "long term abuse" as the block reason, so you must know something else, not visible to me. To make it possible to review the unblock request, can you let me know what the reason for the block was, and what long term abuse it involves? (Obviously you can use email if necessary.)

Li Hongzhi Loves Xi Jinping "China"

I have no idea what was up with that guy. I rv'd his other edits and does a global lock basically mean that his ability to mess with wiki stuff is gone? -MegaGoat ^Contribs 21:13, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

All his edits got revdeld' so I assume it's serious. -MegaGoat ^Contribs 22:29, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
