What Taiwan learn from Jimmy Lai saga.

Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to almost 20 years in prison under Hong Kong’s controversial national security law. The 78-year-old also spent five years in solitary confinement while battling heart conditions and diabetes.

Mark Simon, a former aide to Lai and a listed co-conspirator in the case, told TaiwanPlus in an exclusive interview that “the trial of Jimmy Lai and the trial of many others has proved that there’s really not an English legal system there anymore. There’s not the rule of law that that was a pillar of Hong Kong.”

Simon also warns that Taiwan should view what happened in Hong Kong as a signal of whether Beijing will honor any promises.
