This is what autocracy looks like. I don’t know exactly what happened in this situation but I do know that it happened in the middle of a quiet neighborhood in Anchorage Alaska. If you don’t wanna be called a fascist, then don’t act like one.

Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

Jimmy Lai, the founder of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, is on trial and facing “foreign collusion” charges.
The real reason for Lai’s arrest? His criticism of the Chinese government and strong support for pro-democracy groups in Hong Kong.
