It would be easier for Hong Kong Billionaire Jimmy Lai to remain silent. But he's been on the front lines as one of the few prominent business leaders who continue to fight for freedom.
I need to be educated. I thought it was illegal to protest in Hong Kong and people were going to great lengths to protect their identities. Clearly I’m wrong.
I just watched a 60 minutes interview with Jimmy. Truly amazing man. 71 years old and is inspired by the young people involved in the protests. He was tearing up just talking about his homeland and the future of Hong Kong. In an NPR interview, he was asked if this was a winnable fight. He replied:
If we don't fight, we will lose everything. We will lose the rule of law. We will lose the human right. We will lose the way of life that we're used to. We will lose, you know, the freedom we have. But if we fight, that might - you know, there may be a chance. There may be a miracle.

You’re probably not going to see Mr. Lai get pepper sprayed or beat up by goons anytime soon.
Whoever teams up with this man on the streets would be very smart.
