The Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai's Extraordinary Fight for Freedom premieres TONIGHT, April 18, at 8:00 pm ET on YouTube. ⁠

When Hong Kong's basic freedoms come under attack, newspaper publisher and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai finds himself in the crosshairs of the state and must choose between defending Hong Kong's long-standing liberties, or his own freedom. ​​⁠

Lai Chee-Ying, also known as "Jimmy Lai," is a successful Hong Kong entrepreneur, media mogul, and democratic activist who fled, young and penniless, to Hong Kong from mainland China. Jimmy eventually founded Apple Daily, one of the most well-read newspapers in Hong Kong.⁠

Jimmy was sentenced to 14 months in prison for his role in pro-democracy protests.⁠

Now, CCP leadership are doing everything in their power to eradicate Jimmy's name and memory as they continue to snuff out threats to the CCP's absolute power.⁠

Jimmy's story is one that cannot die in a prison cell—it is one that must reignite a persistent movement to defend the cause of freedom for Hong Kongers, for China as a whole, and humanity everywhere.

Stand with Jimmy and Hong Kong and watch the premiere of The Hong Konger TONIGHT, April 18, live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRkuv...

"I don't have a sense of fear, especially if I know I'm doing the right thing." - Jimmy Lai


On Aug. 10, 2020–about one month after the National Security Law was put into effect–Jimmy was arrested for a second time, this time on charges of colluding with foreign forces. That same morning, approximately 200 Hong Kong authorities raided the offices of Apple Daily, investigating and seizing dozens of boxes filled with Apple Daily materials.

According to award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony, the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain – traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world.
