	Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
		Lai Chi-ying, or Jimmy Lai, packed his bags and his family in Hong Kong, leaving on his corporate yacht (aptly named Free China) in the wake of dashed - but only for a while - dreams, lawsuits and enemies, but he took to Taiwan a resolute belief that Taipei offers more personal and press freedom.
		Lai's language, his verbal attacks against the government, and the macho gestures are reminiscent of a Chinese version of Norman Mailer, who in the turbulent 1960s placed himself front and center in his own media carnival and published work, The Armies of the Night.
		Lai offers a revealing statement on the role of the media buried in Next Media's annual report: "The media are not the tools of the ruling powers but are the people's servant." And that includes the occasional brothel review.

	Could Admart be Jimmy Lai's last stand?
		Jimmy Lai is deeply aware of the fix he is in.
		Lai claims that both Dairy Farm and Hutchison are waging war on adMart by ordering their subsidiaries to pull advertisements from his Apple Daily newspaper and Next magazine.
		Lai used to live in a large detached house, but Teresa insisted that they move to a more secure apartment complex after thieves invaded their home in 1995, whacked Lai over the head with a spanner and stole a small sum of cash and $258,000 worth of jewelry.

	CJR - An Apple a Day, by Michael Steinberger
		Lai is pulling no punches as Hong Kong braces for Chinese rule in 1997 and other media barons pressure editors to avoid stories that might anger Beijing.
		The forty-seven-year-old Lai, a native of Guangdong Province across the border from Hong Kong, first achieved prominence in the 1980s as the founder and chairman of Giordano, a discount clothing retailer.
		Lai's effort to cement his grip on the Hong Kong market suffered a setback in December when several rival dailies initiated a brutal price war that was clearly intended to punish the maverick publisher.

	TIMEasia.com \| Taipei's Next \| 1/22/2001
		Lai eventually became the king of Hong Kong media: Next and Apple Daily, a brassy, working-class broadsheet that was founded in 1995, became the most popular publications in town.
		Lai's media success was due in part to his ability to appeal to the lowest common denominator: sex, crime, scandal.
		Lai says distributors were worried that their cooperation would provoke the ire of the two biggest supermarket chains, owned by Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Whampoa and Dairy Farm.

		Lai rises at 5 a.m., reads the bible for about an hour, then heads across the street to do his exercises.
		Lai was in the news because of his Tiananmen activism, and Teresa, an intern reporter visiting Hong Kong on a break from university in France, was interviewing him for Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
		In truth, Lai is not especially interested in the fine points of his businesses; he is easily bored and constantly searching for new heights to conquer.

	Critic of Beijing Offers to Resign
		Jimmy Lai, the retail and publishing maverick whose magazine recently attacked Prime Minister Li Peng of China, offered Tuesday to resign as chairman and director of Giordano Holdings Ltd. after Beijing shut down a Giordano outlet.
		Lai's move generated strong interest in Hong Kong, where self-censorship in media and business circles has increased markedly as the colony approaches the 1997 return to Chinese rule.
		Lai is famous for sneaking into Hong Kong from China as a youth and turning his ideas about customer service into a $300 million-a-year operation growing quickly throughout Asia.

		The offspring of his ennui was a ground-breaking weekly called Next, conceived on June 4, 1989, as Lai sat in his Hong Kong living room glued to the Cable News Network's coverage from Beijing.
		Free-market visionaries like Jimmy Lai have a real interest in preserving freedom of information, and it's hard to imagine a better way to trump the incoming regime than by establishing a popular, fearless magazine.

		Lai built a media empire by first starting Next Magazine and then challenging the crowded and conservative Chinese language newspaper market in Hong Kong with the launch of the Apply Daily tabloid.
		It was also widely seen as another effort by Jimmy Lai to shake up the established order, initially in Hong Kong and perhaps subsequently in other parts of Greater China.
		Jimmy Lai now admits that he was blinded by “hyperbole about the Internet and my own arrogance.

		But Lai grew up in the ghetto and refuses to be intimidated.
		The action was clearly a response to one of Lai's editorials, in which he blithely asked Chinese premier Li Peng to drop dead (the move inspired Lai to resign as chair and director of the clothing chain).
		In October of 1993, speaking at the World Free Press Conference, Lai proposed creating a "United Nations of Free Media." He envisions the quasi-political collective as a multimedia task force, modeled on the UN and dedicated to preserving freedom of information around the world.

		Lai, who escaped to Hong Kong from China as a young and barely literate boy of 12 during the Cultural Revolution, worked his way from a laborer in a zipper factory to become one of Asia's leading clothing retailers with his chain of Giordano stores.
		Swiftly, China responded by ordering some of Lai's clothing stores in Beijing shut, an action that caused Lai to retire as the company's chairman and later sell his majority stake in the retailer.
