Jailed Hong Kong media tycoon on table of Trump-Xi talks
US President Donald Trump leaves Washington on Oct. 24, 2025 for a five-day trip to Malaysia, Japan and South Korea, his first to the region and longest journey abroad since taking office in January. Trump is set to have a highly anticipated face-to-face meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Oct. 30 in South Korea during the trip. Trump told reporters he would likely raise the issue of releasing Jimmy Lai, the founder of the now-defunct pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, with Xi. Lai is serving a prison sentence in Hong Kong under Beijing-imposed national security laws.
