Lai is hedging his bets with investment in U.S

Article Abstract:

Hong Kong businessman Jimmy Lai has invested some $100 million in US technology companies in anticipation of the 1997 Chinese takeover. Lai stated that it was only natural for him to make such a move given his past difficulties with the Chinese government. Chinese officials had earlier shut down several Giordano outlets, a clothing company Lai had founded. The Chinese government also routinely denies visas for the reporters of Lai's newspapers and magazines.
