I find it very strange that China finds it important to take notice of Jimmy Lai's being a Chinese national despite being a British citizen. It's almost as if the CCP wants to claim ownership on everyone ethnically Chinese, reducing it to one monolithic bloc.

Hong Kong health authorities have announced that 8 persons are suffering from food poisoning after dining on seafood such as raw oysters, sashimi and crab legs have at the Clipper Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central.

This is the 5 or 6th case of mass food poisoning in 2 weeks.

Good talk, I'll pray for you.

Your argument is not particularly strong if you're just strawmanning arguments. I'm ethnically Chinese, me being anti-China is like being anti myself. I actually attended the trial and heard the arguments, so I don't really know why you're making things up

Again, I'm trying to engage you in good faith, like I do with so many right wingers on Twitter, but you're just shouting over slurs and tropes. Is this a race thing? Are you just angry that he's not the socialist enough for somebody ethnically Chinese?

Do you have any evidence that Lai supports Trump's domestic policies or is guilt by association good enough for you? Perhaps you can publish your findings. I hear the people on BlueSky would find it fascinating.

But he's not in the Epstein files. You're just randomly throwing accusations and allegations around now. Sounds like you're just using your privilege to talk over the lives and experiences of real, actual people in the global south.
February 9, 2026 at 11:37 AM
So you're alleging Jimmy Lai consults and associates with people who maybe ideologically similar?

Fake silver bars have begun surfacing in Mainland China as scammers take advantage of skyrocketing prices.

You said it was a bribe, so I'm asking you details about the bribe. Bribed to do what?

The quiet part not said is that they're looking to throw more jail time onto Jimmy Lai in case he lives longer than his 20 year prison sentence.

Laid bribed Wolfowitz to do what, exactly?

CE John Lee says Jimmy Lai deserved his 20-year sentence.
• The sentence "is gratifying for the people as it upholds justice and demonstrates the rule of law"
• "Jimmy Lai's crimes are heinous and his deeds were evil beyond measure"

Last time they pulled a stunt like this when the verdict was announced, people left a mountain of negative comments that piled on so quickly, the page moderators couldn't delete them fast enough and at some point just gave up.

In a sign of how "non-politcal" Jimmy Lai's trial is, the HK Fire Servics Department has gone on to Facebook to express their support on the verdict and sentence lengths imposed by hand-picked Nat-Sec judges on Jimmy Lai and 8 other defendants.

As the court watchers depart, a woman with a Mainland accent likely part of the "queuing gang" asks somebody on the phone if they have been paid yet, she then comments that Jimmy Lai's 20 year sentence means he'll die in prison, she then laughs.
February 9, 2026 at 2:55 AM
At least one court watcher burst into tears after the sentence length was read out. The proceedings have concluded, Lai's wife Teresa and Cardinal Joseph Zen have departe under a heavy police escort thronged by press to a nearby vehicle. They did not answer any questions.

Jimmy Lai and other defendants are entering the dock. In the extension court, where proceedings from the main court are being live streamed, the press shift to try and figure out who is who.
