Human rights will be on the agenda during President Donald Trump’s visit to China. One issue the president says he’ll raise is the imprisonment of Hong Kong publisher Jimmy Lai, who was recently handed a 20-year sentence under the Hong Kong national security law imposed by Beijing.

To discuss the issue, NTD spoke with Mark Clifford, author of “The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong’s Greatest Dissident, and China’s Most Feared Critic.”
