prosecutor Hong Kong

Anthony Chau is a prosecutor involved in the high-profile trial of Jimmy Lai, a pro-democracy media tycoon in Hong Kong. He has been instrumental in presenting the government's case against Lai, arguing that the media mogul demonstrated a persistent intent to solicit foreign sanctions against Hong Kong and China, particularly during the pro-democracy protests in 2019. Chau has highlighted Lai's connections with foreign officials, including a meeting with then-Vice President Mike Pence, to support the prosecution's claims under the controversial national security law imposed by Beijing.
