"Jimmy Lai is being arrested for collusion with foreign powers at this time," said Mr Simon, an executive at Mr Lai's media firm Next Digital, which publishes the Apple Daily newspaper.The new security law for Hong Kong makes it easier to punish protesters, and reduces the city's autonomy.
It gives Beijing powers to shape life in Hong Kong, a former British colony, in a way it has never had before. Critics say it effectively curtails protest and freedom of speech - China has said the new law will return stability to the territory.
Arrest of JimmyLai & AppleDaily raid is a statement from the CCP: the authoritarian regime will never tolerate what's considered to be universal values of the free world - human rights, freedom of press/speech. The free world will need to hold CCP accountable b4 it's too late
Nuke china end of
There's a surprise, not, China slowly making themselves the Pariah's of Modern Times, said it before, feel sorry for the ordinary folk, suffering for a few Sh*theads, who still think Mao Ze Dungheap is the Bee's Knee's
