Hong Kong freezes assets of pro-democracy media tycoon HotAir

By Thomas A. Smith

China s crackdown on democracy organizations in Hong Kong keeps growing by the day after the HK government froze the assets of media tycoon Jimmy Lai. The 73-year-old has been behind bars for months following his arrest last year on claims he colluded with a foreign government or external elements looking to put national security at risk. He s also serving a 14-month sentence for involvement in a pair of 2019 peaceful protests.
