Giordano

Giordano is a casual wear empire founded by Jimmy Lai, a businessman who rose from refugee and child laborer to become a millionaire in Hong Kong. Lai is now newsworthy due to his imprisonment and conviction related to his pro-democracy activism and support for a newspaper that challenged China's Communist Party. He has been held in solitary confinement for over 1,800 days. His children have been leading a global campaign for his release. Lai's case highlights the ongoing tensions between Hong Kong and mainland China regarding freedom of speech and political expression. His story underscores the personal cost of defending these freedoms and the challenges faced by those who oppose the Chinese government's policies in Hong Kong.
