Lai and his Apple Daily colleagues are being punished for exposing the truth about the CCP's attacks on the rights of Hong Kongers.

The sentencing of Jimmy Lai is the latest stain on the human rights record of the Chinese Communist Party.

I think it's important that we note that it- the law requires a divestment and getting the Chinese Communist Party control away from the app as well as the algorithm.

I think we're sending an important message that we're no longer going to allow drug trafficking coming in and killing American lives.

as long as the Chinese are involved, I think there's reason for distrust.

But the president has set a goal of making this available to the American people, following the law that was passed in a bipartisan way, and I trust that they are doing that.

The Chinese report to the Chinese Communist Party, and they will leverage every advantage they get.

I believe it's a very addictive app. China has made a lot of money because of that, but they've also used it in a way that allows you know their information, their propaganda, to be propagated.

I'm still concerned about it.

China has been utilizing partnerships with U.S. tech companies to build malignant ‘smart cities’ that are used for mass surveillance and human rights abuses against millions of innocent Chinese people.

the president’s proposal also raises constitutional concerns
