Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai was questioned by two High Court judges on January 7, 2024, over his comments calling for Taiwan to join a US-led strategic alliance, known as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, to counter mainland China's influence. The Quad, comprising the US, Japan, Australia, and India, is seen as a counterbalance to China's growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Lai, 77, made the remarks on his online commentary program "Live Chat with Jimmy Lai" on November 12, 2020, after Beijing imposed the national security law on Hong Kong in June 2020.
