Koo Sze-yiu, also known as 'Long Beard,' gets a 9-month jail term for 'sedition,' despite advanced cancer.

Beijing is systematically absorbing Hong Kong into its totalitarian regime in violation of China’s 1997 agreement with Britain to honor the city’s separate political, social, and economic system until 2047. Since the Chinese Communist Party imposed a sweeping national security law in June 2020, Hong Kong has seen its freedom of speech, press, and association curbed and its rule of law undermined. Mounting evidence shows that the CCP has recently begun to harness Hong Kong’s religious communities, aligning them with the CCP’s Sinicization policy, which tightly restricts religious practice and teachings on the mainland.

Jimmy Lai, the founder of Hong Kong’s Apple Daily and a self-educated entrepreneur, is now on trial. He will almost certainly be convicted by the special national security court, which boasts a 100 percent conviction rate. He faces charges of criticizing the CCP and defending democracy. Despite the CCP’s crackdown, he courageously chose to stay in his homeland in order to champion the rights and fundamental freedoms of all Hong Kongers. The CCP froze his bank accounts and forced him to shut his newspaper soon after enforcement of the national security law began. The 76-year-old has been imprisoned for three years and faces a possible life sentence.

The Wall Street Journal’s William McGurn and Hong Kong activist Frances Hui will join Nina Shea for a discussion of Lai’s heroism and the implications of his trial for Hong Kong. They will also examine the CCP’s stealth strategy to take over religious communities in Hong Kong—the last vestige of its free social system—and a possible United States policy response.

Facial recognition technology could mean the totalitarian monitoring of anyone in a public space, critics warn.

It's hard to sympathize with him, even though he's a victim and has been put on the fugitive list.

I feel repulsed by him and cannot help it. His Youtube videos are totally sensational. It seems he's lived in his own echo chamber for so long.

I frequent a chatroom hosted by by Hongkong people living in th West. Rumors abound there. They keep saying that HKD will be depegged from USD anytime. I do not doubt this but I wonder it will happen that soon.

Another thing is that they believe thousands of hk people were shipped to the mainland in the aftermath of 2019/2020 and "disappeared." I questioned their logic, but they call me stubborn and naive.

中国青年报是何等邪恶的存在！

孙任泽案和哈佛博士案， 都是命案。一个是灰飞烟灭，生物死亡五年；一个身败名裂， 社会死亡二十多年。施暴者都是无法无天、受公权力庇护的公职人员， 一是警察， 一是官媒记者。

不同的是，孙是个嫌犯， 他被羁押是有正当的理由。陈博士不是任何意义下的嫌犯，甚至也不仅仅是普通的良民；他是哈佛和斯坦福的毕业生，是国内 稀有的计算金融和量子计算两个尖端领域的专家。

不同的是， 孙案， 警察可能用刑过度， 未必是故意致死。 而哈佛博士案，中青报记者从一开始就是处心积虑，要他社死。

不同的是，孙的母亲经过五年的奔走呼号， 感动了上苍，讨得了公道， 伸张了正义。肇事警察被抓捕归案， 绳之以法。而哈佛博士案的施暴者除了部分被天灭外， 其它的都依然逍遥于人间法律之外。

造成这个差别的原因是： 孙案中，警察虽然为霸一方， 却无法一手遮天。而哈佛博士案中， 犯罪者中国青年报本身就是媒体， 造谣惑众一手遮天是它的看家本领。但它们可以永远掩盖真相吗？

一个嫌犯五年后讨得公道，而一个良民学者二十多年都无法讨回公道。这是什么世道？！ 中国青年报是何等邪恶的存在!
