The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong’s Greatest Dissident, and China’s Most Feared Critic: Washington DC (December 2, 2024)
Hong Kong billionaire and democracy activist Jimmy Lai is China’s most famous political prisoner. In a new biography—The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong’s Greatest Dissident, and China’s Most Feared Critic—Mark L. Clifford, veteran Hong Kong journalist and president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, explores Lai’s rise to fame, his two-decade campaign for democracy in Hong Kong, and his political persecution by the Chinese regime.
Please join Dr. Clifford and AEI President Robert Doar for a discussion of Lai’s compelling life story, his heroic stand for democratic values, and what his persecution says about Hong Kong’s future.
