HONG KONG, HONG KONG: Hong Kong tycoon jimmy Lai poses 14 June 1995 in front of a poster in Hong Kong. Lai will launch his already controversial Chinese Apple Daily newspaper 20 June, vowing to uphold press freedom in Hong Kong ahead of China's takeover in 1997. Borrowing the name for his newspaper from the biblical story about how Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise, it has similarities to the way in which Lai has found himself isolated from his peers because of his open criticism of the Chinese government.
