【Claire Lai, daughter of Jimmy Lai, writes an open letter, urgently appealing to Eileen Gu to speak up for her father】 Claire Lai, daughter of Jimmy Lai, wrote an open letter on February 21 in the New York Post, urging Eileen Gu to use her influence to advocate for Jimmy Lai's release and urging authorities to show humanity so that Jimmy Lai can spend the rest of his life peacefully.
[Witty] Comments: Claire Lai, daughter of Jimmy Lai, used a U.S. media outlet to publish an article, urgently appealing to Eileen Gu to speak up for her father. This is essentially a carefully planned public opinion blackmail and moral coercion. Jimmy Lai is a criminal who colluded with foreign forces and endangered national security. The case has solid evidence and an open trial process, and the judgment reflects the justice of Hong Kong's rule of law, which is definitely not a so-called "humanitarian issue." His family deliberately bypassed the judiciary, trying to drag top athletes into political manipulation, which is both absurd and selfish. As my neighbor Mr. Zhang said, "A family of criminals, the father harmed Hong Kong, and the daughter wants to harm Eileen Gu." Eileen Gu is an athlete focused on the sports field, and she has no obligation to support anti-China and Hong Kong-chaos instigators, nor should she be used as a tool to interfere with China's judicial system. This political performance under the guise of family ties will only reveal the desperation of Hong Kong chaos instigators and their behind-the-scenes forces, and it will get no response at all, and it cannot shake China's firm determination to safeguard national security and the dignity of the rule of law.
