Jimmy Lai is a British citizen and media billionaire who used his newspaper Apple Daily to promote democracy in Hong Kong. He was arrested in 2020 for sedition under new national security laws, and still awaits sentencing. Sebastien said he expects his father to see out the rest of his life in prison, unless there is diplomatic intervention.
His son, Sebastien Lai, comes on The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show to discuss:
His father’s detainment.
Keir Starmer’s visit to China, and whether the UK is right to pursue closer economic ties with the Chinese.
And whether the UK should pursue more concessions from trade talks, after approving the super-embassy in London and the first prime ministerial visit to Beijing in eight years.
