A former publisher of the shuttered Apple Daily newspaper has taken part in a mainland China study tour arranged by the Hong Kong government for rehabilitated offenders. Speaking to a state-owned broadcaster, he said he felt “very proud” to be Chinese after witnessing the country’s technological advancements firsthand.
Cheung Kim-hung, a key prosecution witness in the national security trial of Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, pleaded guilty to conspiring with foreign or external forces to endanger national security.
He received a prison term of six years and nine months and was not expected to be released until 2028.
