Lai has been held in solitary confinement since December 2020
HONG KONG - Hong Kong democrat Jimmy Lai on Thursday told a court trying him for colluding with foreign powers that he paid a former US general to advise former Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen in late 2017, but denied seeking to endanger China 's national security.
The US and British governments have called for Lai's immediate release and have criticised the trial as politically motivated amid a years-long national security crackdown by China in the global financial hub. The prosecutor asked whether Lai had sought to use Taiwan as leverage against China, and also to engage Keane and Wolfowitz to "give advice to Taiwan for a military upgrade". Lai denied this.
