Seventy-six-year-old Jimmy Lai, a media tycoon known for role as a leader in pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, faces three charges of sedition and collusion in a pivotal national security trial in Hong Kong. The prominent Catholic activist and self-made billionaire has sacrificed a great deal his effort to preserve and strengthen Hong Kong's democratic spirit in its face off with China's Communist Party leaders. Now, a bill has been introduced in the U.S. House to rename a Washington, D.C. street adjacent to a Chinese government building as "Jimmy Lai Way" in his honor.
