Jimmy Lai: Jailed by Communist China While Fighting for Freedom in Hong Kong
From Stossel TV
Hong Kong was the freest place on Earth. Then the Communists took over and thoroughly oppressed it. Jimmy Lai is in jail for saying Hong Kong should be free again.
Suppose you were a billionaire, or multi-billionaire. A repressive regime takes control of your country and threatens you with jail. You can go anywhere in the world, live in luxury. Or stay and go to jail. Jimmy Lai chose jail.
A documentary from the Acton Institute called “The Hong Konger” lets Lai explain why he chose jail.

We Americans take free speech for granted. But if you look around the world, you see why we shouldn’t.
In Britain, you can get arrested for saying things online that police find “offensive.”
In Scotland, misgendering someone can land you in jail for seven years.
Canada may soon pass a law that would punish “advocating genocide” with life in prison.
Now in the U.S., the House of Representatives voted for a bill that would make chants like “from the river to the sea” illegal at universities.
These are bad ideas. Free speech is valuable.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp.” He didn’t.
Trump made government bigger. He hired new employees, doubled federal spending, and started a bunch of new programs. Now the swamp is bigger.
In our new video, Economist Ed Stringham explains the real way to drain the swamp is to cut the spending that swamp creatures feed on.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
