While I haven't always agreed with Jimmy Lai, There was no foreign collusion or interference. He's spent 5 years in solitary confinement for running a newspaper. Now a 20 year sentence.

I'm still very proud that some of my footage is included in this trailer and documentary.

Hong Kong's Jimmy Lai found guilty under national security law Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai has been found guilty of collusion and sedition in his national security trial.

Anything but unexpected, he was 'guilty' before the farcical trial even began. Sigh
