Lee Po finale bodes ill for ‘one country, two systems’

 

Almost three months after Lee Po’s wife reported to the police her husband went missing, Lee returned home on Thursday before leaving for the mainland one day later with crucial questions left unanswered. Those questions may never be answered, at least in the near future.

At the centre of mysterious saga was how he “used his own means” to return to the mainland, not through the immigration checkpoints with legal documents, and why doing so would have protected him and his family from harm as he has claimed.

Lee and his partner run the Causeway Books, which is known for selling books that contained sensitive contents about the fight for power among Chinese Communist Party leaders.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Lee insisted he has already told the truth, referring to several interviews he gave to Beijing-friendly media such as Phoenix TV and Sing Tao Daily News.
