Jimmy Lai, the owner of Hong Kong's leading anti-Chinese media,'The Bean Fruits,' was arrested by the police at home.

The suspicion of violating the Hong Kong Security Law, including collusion with foreign forces, has been applied.

Jimmy Lai, the founder of clothing brand Giordano, entered the media business after being shocked by the Tiananmen crisis in 1989, and actively participated in the 2014 Hong Kong'Umbrella Revolution' and last year's protests against the repatriation law.

He has been criticized as the pilot behind the protests by the Chinese state media and Hong Kong pro-Chinese, and has been threatened with terror several times.

The Hong Kong police sent over 200 people to seize and search the office building at the Bin Fruit Borough and arrested the chief executive officer and financial officer.

The opposition in Hong Kong has strongly criticized it for its suppression of freedom of speech.

[Chairman of Chris Young/Hong Kong Journalists Association: I urge the police to stop seizure and search. It destroys freedom of speech in Hong Kong.]

Ten people were arrested yesterday (10th), including Agnes Chow, a democratic activist who led the umbrella revolution.

As the third pile of arrests since the enforcement of the Security Act on June 30, the democratic camp is concerned that arrests of other personnel will continue.

While the central government of China said it supported the Hong Kong authorities' decision, it has imposed sanctions on 11 U.S. politicians and NGOs in retaliation for the U.S.'s decision to sanction 11 high-ranking officials in Hong Kong and China, including Executive Secretary Carrie Ram.
