Скачать или смотреть Hong Kong Court Convicts Jimmy Lai: 'British' Media Tycoon 'Guilty', China Smiling?

A court in Hong Kong has found pro-democracy ex-media tycoon Jimmy Lai guilty of plotting sedition and engaging in collusion with foreign entities.

This trial highlights the significant transformation of the semi-autonomous city since Beijing initiated an extensive campaign against dissent five years prior.

Lai found himself detained in 2020 due to a national security law enacted by Chinese officials aimed at suppressing the extensive anti-government demonstrations that shook the city in 2019.

He may potentially face a life sentence if convicted on the collusion charge.

The 156-day trial of Lai has drawn significant attention from international governments and political analysts, serving as a barometer for the state of judicial independence and media freedom in the ex-British territory, which was assured it could enjoy its Western-style civil liberties for half a century following its return to Chinese rule in 1997.

So what does the Jimmy Lai verdict mean for Hong Kong?
