In a shocking revelation, former US President Donald Trump has disclosed that Chinese President Xi Jinping allegedly expressed a willingness to release imprisoned Chinese critic Jimmy Lai, a prominent media mogul and democracy advocate. According to Trump, Xi's comment was made during a private conversation, sparking speculation about a potential deal between the two leaders. Lai, the founder of the Apple Daily newspaper, has been detained in China since 2020 on charges of colluding with foreign forces. Trump's claims raise questions about the motivations behind Xi's alleged offer and whether it could be a genuine attempt to ease tensions or a ploy to appease the US.
