"Propaganda Minister Balding 大老板 @BaldingsWorld Not really a conspiracy theory time: shortly before Hunter revelations start poring forth and Apple Daily does this piece, Hunters Taiwanese partner gets detained in China and Jimmy Lai's personal office in Hong Kong gets raided. Coincidence?"

Love this guy, trust him absolutely on anything about China.

Allegations of Lai colluding with foreigners went into overdrive in state media last year when he met with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence.

‘Prepared for prison’
Lai spoke to AFP in mid-June, two weeks before the new security law was imposed on Hong Kong.

“I’m prepared for prison,” he said. “If it comes, I will have the opportunity to read books I haven’t read. The only thing I can do is to be positive.”

He brushed off the collusion allegations, saying Hong Kongers had a right to meet with foreign politicians.
