This is the astonishing story of the billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai who became one of Hong Kong’s leading activists for democracy and is today China’s most famous political prisoner.

Clifford will talk about his new book about the story of Jimmy Lai. By his mid-twenties, Lai was one of Hong Kong's most successful entrepreneurs. He built a successful media company that spoke out for democracy. Rather than leave as China grew more repressive -- Lai, a British citizen -- he kept fighting for democracy, was arrested, and after four years of solitary confinement, now faces the prospect of life imprisonment.
