Opinion | Firm sentencing in national security trial affirms commitment to justice The sentencing decision delivered by Hong Kong's High Court in the case of Jimmy Lai Chee-ying stands as a defining moment for both the city's legal system and its enduring commitment to the rule of law. In a judgment of significant detail, the court set out the full factual and legal basis for the sentence, and—crucially—directly addressed the many claims and controversies that had surrounded this high-profile background.

Opinion | The case of Lai Chee-ying: A judicial reaffirmation of security and law The sentencing of Lai Chee-ying to imprisonment, handed down by the court this morning (9 February), marks a resolute moment in Hong Kong's legal history under the National Security Law. The legally determined term reflects the serious nature of offences that threaten national security and reaffirms unequivocally a core principle: crimes against the state's sovereignty and stability will be met with the full force of the law.

Opinion | The West's Jimmy Lai theatre: Rule of law in words only For years, Western governments have claimed to be defending the "rule of law" and democracy in Hong Kong. Yet their approach to the Jimmy Lai case increasingly reveals something else: a geopolitical reflex in which the acceptable outcome is decided first, and the argument is fitted afterwards. In London, Washington, and other Western capitals, Lai's name is invoked less to illuminate law than to anchor a familiar China narrative: politically correct, moral, and conveniently simple.

Opinion | The collapse of Jimmy Lai's black money network: Strong arm of law cuts off funding chain for disruption On December 15, 2025, when the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region rendered its final guilty verdict against Jimmy Lai, it marked the end of his criminal activities aimed at undermining China and disrupting Hong Kong. This ruling signified the complete dismantling of a two-decade-long strategy involving "using money to create chaos in Hong Kong," highlighting the steadfast commitment of Hong Kong's legal system to uphold national security.

Opinion | Judicial independence upheld in the Jimmy Lai case In light of the sentencing scheduled for the coming Monday (Feb 9) in the proceedings concerning Lai Chee-ying, there has been a notable increase in international discourse and public commentary. It is, therefore, imperative that the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary—as constitutionally enshrined under the Basic Law—be clearly reaffirmed.
