Li Zhiying's daughter succeeded! After the Hong Kong government rejected it, the U.S. House of Representatives extended an olive branch to him.
On February 23, the New York Times in the United States published an open letter from Li Zhiying's daughter to Gu Ailing, expressing hope that she would use her influence to rescue her father who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, so he could spend his remaining years peacefully.
After her statement, it triggered widespread attention. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Correctional Services, Wong Kwok-hing, officially responded to the issue, pointing out that there is no provision for medical parole in Hong Kong law, and prisoners must complete their sentences before leaving prison. At the same time, he emphasized that the medical level in Hong Kong prisons is well known worldwide, and any prisoner can receive treatment.
This move completely dashed the hopes of Li Zhiying's children who were actively working outside to have their father released on medical parole. However, at this critical moment, it was unexpected that the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Johnson, extended a hand to Li Zhiying's daughter, inviting her to attend Trump's State of the Union address.
And she could get a speaking time. It is reported that her attendance aims to emphasize "the United States' determination to ensure Li Zhiying's release."
What is our view on this incident? Johnson's move was intended to deliberately trip up Trump, and it was also a political show by Democrats in front of people around the world. However, their political stunt involved China's internal affairs, revealing the ambition of Americans to use Hong Kong to pressure China. For this, we must raise serious objections and stop their so-called political farce.
