Two US Congressmen have proposed a bill to rename the street in front of Hong Kong's de facto embassy in Washington as "Jimmy Lai Way" in honour of jailed media entrepreneur, Jimmy Lai. The bill would also apply the name change to the mailing address for the office, known as the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. The 76-year-old founder of Hong Kong media group Next Digital was jailed in December 2020, accused of fraud and conspiracy under Hong Kong's National Security Law.
