About this sermon
On this 12th day of testimony, the trial of Jimmy Lai has shifted focus. Today's questions focused on the period after Hong Kong's National Security Law went into effect. He's accused of orchestrating the anti-government protests that swept across Hong Kong in 2019. Prosecutors have charged Lai with conspiring and colluding with "foreign forces to undermine Beijing's authority over Hong Kong". Author of "Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong's Greatest Dissident, and China's Most Feared Critic", Mark Clifford, discusses Lai's 2019 meeting with then-Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. It was a move that infuriated China. In defense of his actions against accusations of sedition, Lai said, "All I was doing was carrying a torch to the reality. The more information you have, the more you're in the know, the more you are free." Lai started in the clothing industry and then moved into media. Clifford shares what drove that change. Today this trial entered its 104th day. Clifford discusses whether there is any end in sight and what he thinks the result will be. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
