Hong Kong court sentences media tycoon Jimmy Lai to 20 years

Hong Kong media tycoon and China critic Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison under the territory's national security law. The sentencing has drawn international criticism, with the U.S. Secretary of State calling it 'unjust and tragic,' while Hong Kong authorities state he must bear the consequences for defying the law. The case is framed by Hong Kong officials as part of safeguarding national security under the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle.
