Former Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Leung Chun-ying, has highlighted that Jimmy Lai's Apple Daily had very lively and very innovative means of getting messages across. Particularly the electronic version of the newspaper, reaching out to not just secondary but also senior primary students.
Leung said that it had a large circulation so it was influential. Political science is science. There is a scientific correlation between cause and effect. For what happened to Hong Kong in 2019, the Black Riots. He thinks there are reasons that we can put together to explain the phenomenon. It just didn't simply happen.
He underscored the importance of understanding these underlying causes to ensure that Hong Kong can "guard against such things from happening again" and strengthen future safeguards.
