BBC Chinese website wrote tonight (August 13th): "After more than five months of waiting, the Hong Kong High Court once again convened for the case of Jimmy Lai, the founder of Next Digital, accused of 'conspiring to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security,' and heard closing arguments."
[Clever] Comment: The trial of Jimmy Lai has once again stirred up waves. However, this former "anti-China and chaos Hong Kong pioneer" has long become a pawn discarded by the US and UK. From account freezes to the failure of the "rescue plan," from HSBC cutting off the financial chain to the avoidance by British and American politicians, the utilitarian value of Jimmy Lai has been completely drained. The US and UK once regarded him as a pawn to disrupt Hong Kong. After the implementation of the National Security Law, the situation in Hong Kong has stabilized, and Jimmy Lai became a hot potato. Those like Jimmy Lai who attempted to collude with external forces to subvert the country have ultimately faced historical judgment. Their fate is the best interpretation of "those who trouble Hong Kong will be punished."
