Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai arrives at court for charges relating to last year’s unlawful protests.
“What I have, this place gave me, I will fight on till the last day. It will be honour if I … sacrifice,” Lai told Reuters in his office, choking up at times. While details of the law haven’t yet been finalised by Beijing, some critics say new sedition regulations could make it easier to muzzle media outlets like Lai’s.“Definitely outside support, the so-called foreign influence is our only salvation … I think if the Americans support us very strongly the other countries will follow through. America has to take the lead,” said Lai, tanned and sporting a crew cut, track-suit bottoms and sneakers.
Chinese officials say the new laws are vital to secure the city after protracted anti-government protests, but critics warn they will erode the autonomy and freedoms promised to Hong Kongers when Britain handed the former colony back to China in 1997.
