Taiwan shows solidarity as bookseller who fled Hong Kong opens shop

TAIPEI - Taiwan’s ruling party on Saturday showed support for a Hong Kong bookseller who fled to the democratic island amid fears of Chinese persecution, with President Tsai Ing-wen offering congratulations as he opened a new shop in Taipei.

The case triggered a huge controversy and raised fears of growing Chinese control in the financial hub. Senior officials from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party joined the reopening on Saturday, including head of parliament Yu Shyi-kun, who said it was a moment of “pride” for the island’s democracy.

“We must strongly condemn violence and intimidation. Everyone, please support the bookshop. Supporting Causeway Bay Books in Taipei is to support freedom of publication in Taiwan.”

The clown fleed to Taiwan still try to draw attention

Thank Taiwan for Taiwanese supports HK's and China's Freedom of speech and democracy movement!

How is this news worthy?

什么书商？真把自己当回事，跳梁小丑而已，中国没时间迫害你

Good for them.

Long Live Free Taiwan!

I'm glad he escaped. It bothers me that I support China with every trip to Walmart. I will be looking hard for products made anywhere else in the future. DecoupleChina

“Speaking in the shop crowded with journalists, DPP Secretary General Luo Wen-jia congratulated Lam's reopening in the 'land of democracy.' 'I hope one day the bookshop could return to its origin - Hong Kong's Causeway Bay,' he told Lam.”

China misinformed the world and continue to use disinformation to mislead the world ChinaLiedPeopleDie

The fact that Mr Lam finds it dangerous to run a book store which sells books disliked by Chinese authorities, and that he has to move the business to Taiwan, simply prove that freedom of speech in HongKong is at risk.
