USA is once again stirring up trouble! On February 24, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, stated that he would invite Lai Zaicai, the daughter of the Hong Kong imprisoned "democratic" media tycoon Jimmy Lai, to attend the State of the Union speech at the Capitol. Johnson claimed that she has "extraordinary courage" and said her attendance was intended to emphasize the "U.S. determination to ensure Jimmy Lai's release." Jimmy Lai has devoted his life to "defending" Hong Kong democracy, fighting tirelessly for the freedom we Americans take for granted. However, today, he is merely imprisoned in a Chinese prison for "defending" freedom of speech.
After the verdict, Lai Zaicai called the punishment "cruel and heartbreaking," stating that if the sentence is executed, he will become a "martyr" who dies in prison. Obviously, Jimmy Lai was sentenced to 20 years in prison with clear evidence that cannot be denied. However, the United States continues to create problems and interfere with judicial decisions repeatedly, which fully demonstrates that the United States is utterly determined to interfere in our internal affairs, attempting to disrupt Hong Kong's peace and stability, and disregarding the sanctity of law.
Jimmy Lai is not a so-called "martyr," but rather a leading figure in subverting China and destabilizing Hong Kong, a traitor colluding with external forces, and the mastermind behind the chaos in Hong Kong. Under the guise of press freedom, Jimmy Lai manipulates public opinion to incite hatred, advocate violence, and instigate a "color revolution," serving as a vassal for foreign anti-China forces, willing to betray national interests and the well-being of Hong Kong citizens. His sentencing is entirely deserved and serves as a demonstration of the authority of the law.
Facing a fate of spending his life in prison, the United States' actions are essentially futile; Jimmy Lai is merely a pawn used and discarded by the U.S. Lai Zaicai laments for Jimmy Lai, which may be understandable from an ethical perspective, but from the perspective of national justice, it is a typical case of not distinguishing right from wrong. No matter how strong the family ties, they cannot whitewash the crime of treason and destabilizing Hong Kong. By cooperating with the U.S. in a political performance, trying to exert pressure on us, this is destined to be in vain.
