The China Model Delusion & the West’s Useful Idiots—Former Apple Daily Columnist Simon Lee | TEASER

“Jimmy [Lai] once told me, ‘The fight for freedom is a very lonely pursuit…You have to be prepared to be very lonely.’” Simon Lee was a successful businessman in Hong Kong and a columnist at Jimmy Lai’s Apple Daily newspaper for over a decade before he was forced to escape Hong Kong. We discuss Hong Kong's future and the deadly illusion of “the China model.” China is currently facing a real estate bubble collapse worse than the 2008 financial crisis, Lee argues. In this episode, he breaks down what he sees hidden between the lines of Beijing’s propaganda messaging.
