 Hong Kong convicts media tycoon Jimmy Lai in national security case

The case has drawn international attention, with former U.S. President Donald Trump stating he would do “everything” possible to help Lai and vowing to raise the issue during a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. A U.S.-registered nonprofit, the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong, denounced the charges as “trumped-up” and called on the U.S. government to hold Hong Kong and Chinese officials accountable.
