Would say that the way HK government has ripped off #FreeJimmyLai & shareholders in his company with use of a second tier liquidator skating the rules makes it perfect fodder for Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party to reject and all liquidations undertaken in Hong Kong.

"As you can see, I am not Jimmy Lai. Instead of being here with you wonderful people, accepting this prestigious award, my father sits in a maximum security jail in Hong Kong as a high-risk category a prisoner. He’s in jail in Hong Kong for the same reason he is being celebrated

Benedict Rogers nails it in this The Telegraph piece on the scale of the injustice being perpetrated against #JimmyLai: "The key question is what is the British government actually doing to free its citizen? If Mr Lai dies in jail, what will be the consequences for China’s

Virtue signaling at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health reaches new levels of hypocrisy, as Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health was funded by HK’s Ronnie Chan family, without question one of the most pro-CCP tycoons. Literally famed for his passionate anti-democracy positions the school is a blight on common decency.

Hard hit from a celebrity death? Is there a connection to the celebrity? A religious or political leader, okay, yes. But a singer or movie star? No way For the emotionally healthy, the death of a neighbor's dog brings greater sadness than that of an unfamiliar movie star.

🧵A quick follow-on comment on the story in the The Wall Street Journal about Harvard University being the premier educational institution for communist China's party elites.
