HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been charged under the city’s national security law as authorities step up a crackdown on dissent, local media reported.
Lai, who founded the Apple Daily tabloid, was charged on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces and endangering national security, local broadcaster TVB reported Friday. He is the most high-profile person out of more than two dozen charged under the sweeping law since it was imposed by Beijing in June.
And now we are Hong Kong also.
Scott Adans just got that treatment here.
Not jail yet here in all cases, but wait.

America too is being “Chinesed”.
Don’t know if that’s word but it is now.
Chicommed
This is a huge escalation and extremely ominous sign. Everything about the national security law is bad, but Jimmy Lai is a extremely well-known public figure, and has been anti-CCP since he started his media empire in the 80s.
Hong Kong is officially dead.
China will begin to seriously tighten the screws on Taiwan, especially as the US is tied up with its own internal political problems.
Coming to a town near you...
Thanks Joe Biden, Kamala Harris.
Hong Kong isn’t dead, but it is getting really sick.
I propose the words “Chinafy”, “Chinafying”, “Chinafied”, etc.
