The Chinese Communist Party’s Central Television (CCTV) has suddenly broadcast a short video clip in which Henry Li, the so-called “anti-China and rebellious gold-digger”, confesses his guilt. Li claimed that he had financed hundreds of thousands of dollars to support young leaders of the “anti-China” movement, including Zhou Yongkang, the former secretary general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. But the outside world found that Henry Li was a key witness in the Bo Xilai case, questioning his political background.
On Wednesday (14), China’s CCTV news client aired a program called “Focus Interview” in which Henry Li, the so-called “mastermind behind the anti-China chaos in Hong Kong,” confessed to his crimes on television. The report alleged that Henry Li had donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to so-called “anti-China activist Yang Moumou,” and secretly met with Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Leung Kwok-hung and former Hong Kong Federation of Students Secretary General Chow Wing-kong after the “anti-China” movement in Hong Kong, as well as financed Huang Zhifeng, Chow Wing-kong and Law Kwun-chung. He also met secretly with Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Leung Kwok Hung and former Hong Kong Federation of Students Secretary General Chow Wing Hong, and financed Wong Chi Fung, Chow Wing Hong, Law Kwun Chung and Cheung Kun Yeung’s activities outside Hong Kong.
In the program, Henry Lee, dressed in prison clothes, repeatedly confessed in front of television cameras that he met Yang in 2009, who was “determined to overthrow the Communist Party leadership in China,” and that he believed Yang was like-minded, so he donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Yang over the next 10 years to support The report said that Henry Li had donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Yang for his “anti-China activities” over a 10-year period.
According to the report, Henry Li met secretly with former legislator Leung Kwok-hung and former Hong Kong Federation of Students secretary-general Chow Wing-kong in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and purchased tickets for Chow to travel to an “anti-China forum” in Europe. The report also said that Henry repeatedly introduced Huang Zhifeng, Zhou Yongkang, Luo Guancong, Zhang Kunyang and other “anti-China activists” to meet with “anti-China politicians” and senior government officials from major Western countries outside of China.
However, after the televised confession was broadcast on CCTV, Luo Guancong, who is now in exile in the United Kingdom, and Zhou Yongkang, who is studying abroad, both posted rebuttals on online social media platforms, insisting that they did not know Henry Li.
He pointed out on Facebook that he and Huang Zhifeng actually met with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the ambassador to the UK and other foreign dignitaries without the need for any “middleman” to recommend them. He criticized Henry Li’s statement as revealing a “very Chinese Communist logic” that “imagines that we are a group of pawns with no network, connection or ability. In the article, Law also asks why Hong Kong’s youth leaders would want a senior executive in a Chinese company to act as a “middleman”. He also criticized CCTV’s allegations as a “dirty smear tactic” by the Chinese Communist Party.
Zhou also rebutted on Facebook that the so-called European “anti-China forum” mentioned in the CCTV report is in fact the Forum2000 forum, which aims to promote democracy, protect human rights and strengthen civil society. The Forum was founded in 1996 by former Czech President Vaclav Havel and others, and has been attended by dignitaries from many countries. The organizers of the Forum provided the airfare and accommodation costs for his own trip to the Czech Republic to attend the Forum.
The most suspicious thing is that Henry Li was involved in the corruption case of Bo Xilai, the former secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee, and was a key witness in the case.
According to the verdict of Bo Xilai’s corruption and bribery case released by the Jinan Intermediate Court in Shandong Province in 2013, Henry Li testified at the trial of the case as the first vice president of Meidong Corporation, admitting that Chinese tycoon Xu Ming had transferred $3.22 million to Russell Real Estate through Li’s own company in 2000 to buy a villa in the Cote d’Azur in France for Bo’s wife, Gu Kailai. At the time, Henry Li’s confession was one of the key pieces of evidence used by the Chinese Communist authorities to convict Bo Xilai.
Now Henry Li has become an anti-communist who is “like-minded” with the pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, which is a surprise to the outside world, and some overseas observers question his political background.
In a recent report by Radio Free Asia, Henry Li was involved in the Bo Xilai case, but was able to walk away and continue doing business in China. He was also able to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the protest movement in Hong Kong until his arrest in November 2019?
According to information, Henry Li, formerly known as Li Huxiang, was born in Shanghai in 1955 and had joined Belizean nationality and changed his name to Henry Li in the early years, but still lived and did business in China for a long time, and was the first foreigner to be prosecuted for the anti-Send-China movement in Hong Kong. He was arrested on November 26, 2019 by the Guangzhou State Security Bureau on suspicion of “financing criminal activities that endanger national security” and transferred to the Guangzhou Municipal Procuratorate for review and prosecution on April 23, 2020. 11 years.
