Everyone's doing it. Only one gets scolded. Wonder why. 🌐

[Lui Chi Wah 呂志華 @mrwhy4321]

Marking 105 years of the CPC and two miracles delivered: rapid growth, lasting stability. President Xi reaffirms “One Country, Two Systems” and patriots governing HK. That’s opportunity, not threat. Proud to move forward!

@ChinaRetold Looking forward to the next event!

[China Retold @ChinaRetold]

At China Retold, we are committed to connecting with the expat community and young people in Hong Kong to jointly share the true stories about our great country!

To celebrate Hong Kong's return to the motherland, we held a wine tasting event in Wan Chai on June 28th, featuring Ningxia's "Helan Hong", a wine served at China's state banquets!

As an official state banquet wine, "Helan Hong" embodies our nation's strength and pride. Guests savored this remarkable wine, embraced their patriotic spirit, and learned about Chinese wine culture!

Going forward, we will continue to host more activities like this so we can share the true stories about our great nation together!

The House of Lords called. They'd like their landmark ruling back. 🇬🇧📜

Step into Xi’an—the starting point of the Silk Road, where ancient history meets modern life.

People say:
100 years of China in Shanghai,
1,000 years in Beijing,
and 3,000 years in Xi’an.

Dining reaches new heights in Macao. 😵‍💫

This restaurant hangs 50 meters above the ground—
would you dare try it? 😱

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.

Trump's loyalty program: expires faster than milk. 🥛⏰

[Lui Chi Wah 呂志華 @mrwhy4321]

@dominictsz Completely agree. This perspective is both fair and necessary.

When your "press freedom" award is funded by the same government that sanctions countries for breakfast. Very independent, much credible. 🏆💸

[Lui Chi Wah 呂志華 @mrwhy4321]

The scoreboard doesn't lie. Every doom prediction about Hong Kong — debunked by reality. 🏆

China: world's #1 manufacturer for 16 straight years, robots up 28%, NEVs at 16 million. US: "We'll bring jobs back" — every election, no factory. 🏭

Surnames are not just markers of bloodlines, they're the foundation of cultural identity 💕

It gently tells us something important!

In the big family of the Chinese nation, surnames are the bridge connecting hearts across the Taiwan Strait.

In this version of The Godfather, the family business isn't olive oil — it's op-eds. Bill McGurn: WSJ editorial board member, Bush speechwriter, AND Jimmy Lai's literal godfather. 🍝

When your foreign friends promise you 'freedom' but forget to mention they meant freedom from your own freedom. 20 years is a long time to wait for a phone call that's never coming. 🤷‍♂️

[Lui Chi Wah 呂志華 @mrwhy4321]

When your Supreme Court discovers something was unconstitutional for 27 years... exactly when a foreign power demands it. That's not corruption, that's just 'good timing'! 🎪

Panama's partner selection criteria: Ignore the one who invested billions and created jobs, embrace the one who threatens and demands. This is what they call 'strategic thinking.' 🤡
