Background: Jimmy Lai (Wikipedia) is a criminally convicted Liberal (Libertarian?) British Citizen who has multiple businesses and dealings in Hong Kong, is a Trump ally, and has been vocally vitriolic towards the CPC, including telling a former Premier to “Drop dead”.

Recent convictions include Fraud, Sedition, and Collusion with Foreign Governments for his role in instigating the Hong Kong Riots. This post describes his crimes better than I can.

Claire Lai, his daughter, has been on a PR campaign for her father to whoever will listen, and has found significant favor in the west. She was also interviewed by PBS on the topic, in case anyone thought they might not act as a propaganda arm of US Capital. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/he-has-suffered-enough-jimmy-lais-daughter-says-after-his-conviction-in-hong-kong

The many arms of Capital etc. etc.
