Jimmy Lai Refutes Taiwan Independence Advocacy in Ongoing Trial

Credited from: SCMP

  • Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, founder of Apple Daily, denied accusations of promoting Taiwan’s independence during his court trial.
  • He claimed that his statements on Taiwan being a “quasi-sovereign state” were misunderstood and emphasized he never called for a war between the U.S. and China.
  • Lai is currently facing multiple charges, including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and distribute seditious publications.
  • During his commentary, he suggested Taiwan should cooperate with the U.S. regarding technological regulations, but noted he could have chosen his words more carefully.
  • The trial is set to continue, with Lai planning to argue that his remarks were intended to analyze U.S. strategies rather than incite anti-China sentiments.
