Collusion is a serious offence. Let Jimmy Lai’s case be an example

Jimmy Lai, former media boss, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Hong Kong after a 156-day trial. He was convicted of conspiracy to spread seditious articles and two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces under Hong Kong's national security law and a colonial-era sedition law. The sedition charge involved inciting hatred or contempt against the Hong Kong and central governments. The collusion charges stemmed from seeking foreign sanctions against China, which is considered a national security threat. While the sedition charge carries a maximum two-year sentence for first-time offenders, the collusion charge carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, making it the more serious offense in Lai's conviction.
