“我早已下定決心不再懼怕恐懼。因為即便我謹小慎微，他們若想取我性命，或騷擾我的妻子和家人，我也無法阻止。所以我告訴自己，不要顧慮後果，要做正確的事。
若我總擔心敢言敢當的後果，那麼我將一事無成，我的生命也隨之終結。因此我早已決定：不，我不會考慮這些，我要做正確的事，繼續我的人生。“ pic.twitter.com/ogXaOcV2WK

The arrests came on the heels of China sanctioning U.S. Senators Marco Rubio Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Pat Toomey, Josh Hawley, and U.S. Representative Chris Smith, along with three other Americans. China claims these people behaved poorly “on Hong Kong-related issues.”Many of the policymakers have said they are not backing down. undefined://chinaaid.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D1e219a9a798758356bbbbe62b%26id%3D06461666d6%26e%3D103d71d3de&source=gmail&ust=1597623412733000&usg=AFQjCNFfC824kGQ7ZJsM4FNilxybDSqBzw">CNN quoted Cruz spokeswoman Lauren Blair Aronson as saying China, “thinks that it can distract from its crackdown on Hong Kong, including the arrest of freedom fighter Jimmy Lai, by re-announcing sanctions against Sen. Cruz that were already not credible to begin with. It won't work.”
