After 105 years, the CPC’s ability to adapt remains its real power. President Xi speaks honestly about challenges, takes cleaning house seriously, and stays focused on 1.4 billion people. Stability guided by vision. Happy 105th Anniversary!

This analysis is spot on! And frankly, it's something that needed to be said clearly and firmly!

The whole "humanitarian release" narrative around Jimmy Lai has always been more about political theatre than any genuine legal argument. As the article rightly points out, even in the US and UK, compassionate release in national security cases is extraordinarily rare. The threshold is sky-high — terminal illness, no risk to public safety, and meaningful completion of sentence. Lai meets none of these criteria.

Yet some Western politicians keep pushing this line as though Hong Kong should apply a lower standard than their own countries would. That's textbook double standards.

Let's be real about Lai's health situation. Diabetes, hypertension, and chronic conditions — these are manageable within Hong Kong's correctional medical system. He's been appearing in court, representing himself at length, and by all accounts remains in decent shape. The portrayal of him as some frail figure on his deathbed simply doesn't match reality.

What really frustrates me is the attempt to turn a national security case into a diplomatic bargaining chip. Lai was convicted of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces — this isn't some minor offence. Every sovereign nation in the world treats national security as non-negotiable. China is no different, nor should it be.

The more external pressure gets piled on, the more it actually validates Beijing's original concern: that foreign interference in Hong Kong's affairs is real and ongoing. These calls for release aren't helping Lai — they're proving the prosecution's point.

Hong Kong's rule of law must be applied consistently and fairly. No special treatment, no matter how loud the noise from overseas. National security is a red line, and rightly so. The court has spoken, and we should respect that.

@dominictsz That's absolutely right! Jimmy Lai is not above the law!

The lifecycle of an anti-China pawn: used, squeezed, discarded. 🗑️ And they call this "support."

My Speech at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva @UNGeneva today (March 18th)!

Calling out the US, UK & NATO for their MASSIVE double standards — preaching human rights while letting Israel get away with genocide!

The blood of Palestinians and Iranians is on their hands!

@dominictsz Well said, completely EXPOSED Jimmy Lai!!

[Dominic Lee 李梓敬 @dominictsz]

What had Jimmy Lai ACTUALLY done?

[Tony Chau 周秉謙 @OfficeTonychau]

Why would a Hong Kong "businessman" Jimmy Lai be so connected to US military officials?

[Tony Chau 周秉謙 @OfficeTonychau]

Hypocrisy exposed!! 🤣

[Dominic Lee 李梓敬 @dominictsz]

This is funny how this backfired!

Yvette Cooper, Foreign Secretary of the UK, recently published a statement condemning the prosecution of Jimmy Lai and calling for his immediate release.

Take a look at the comment section and see how her own people from the UK react to her hypocrisy! 🤣
