Media tycoon Jimmy Lai is on trial for endangering China's national security.

Media tycoon Jimmy Lai, a pro-democracy advocate in Hong Kong, is on trial accused of endangering China's national security and conspiracy to publish seditious material. Prosecutors allege Lai colluded with foreign forces, including meetings with US officials during Trump's presidency. The trial is seen as a landmark national security case since Beijing imposed laws on Hong Kong in 2020, following months of protests in 2019. Diplomats from the UK and the US have called for Lai's immediate release, arguing that the case is politically motivated.
