U.S. Representative John Moolenaar Expresses Concern Over Claire's Cancer Diagnosis Amidst Father's Imprisonment
Claire, the 30-year-old daughter of Hong Kong media founder Jimmy Lai, has been diagnosed with cancer and will undergo treatment in the United Kingdom. Her father, Jimmy Lai, remains imprisoned in Hong Kong under the National Security Law. Claire revealed her diagnosis during an interview with U.S. media outlet The Daily Wire, stating that her health condition will require her to temporarily step back from her public advocacy efforts for her father's release. Despite facing her own health challenges, Claire expressed that her suffering is insignificant compared to her father's prolonged incarceration, and her primary wish is for his freedom and presence by her side. Following this news, U.S. Representative John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, voiced his concern and affirmed the committee's continued efforts to advocate for Jimmy Lai's release during Claire's treatment.
