Jimmy Lai - Recipient of the 2023 Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty

Just a quick reminder that China has been ruled by a totalitarian dictatorship of the Communist Party since 1949. A strange and ugly vestige of the 20th century!

China has also severely violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984 as far as Hong Kong is concerned!

Jimmy Lai - Recipient of the 2023 Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty | Cato Institute Jimmy Lai has become a powerful symbol of the struggle for democratic rights and press freedom in Hong Kong as China’s Communist Party exerts ever greater control over the territory. In prison and denied bail, Lai is an outspoken critic of the Chinese government and advocate for democracy who faces charges that could keep him in jail for the rest of his life.
