Zitat des Tages von Jimmy Lai:
Everybody told me that Taiwan is a very polite society and that people don't like gossip and scandals here. But they just pretend they don't like it. We have, by far, the biggest newspaper in Taiwan. They just buy it to read it at home.
You cannot have the media so close to you that it becomes your voice. This is no good because it becomes too extreme, and people will resent it.
As long as I'm alive, I don't think Next Media will change.
I don't think I should ask my kids to inherit my business, because they can't start where I did: I was from the street. I'm a very different make of person. I've been a fighter all my life.
I can't rely on my money to be happy.
I thought that if I could speed up the production of animation, I could make a big business out of recreating the amazing images of the news because what we get on TV is always the last bit of image.

Domestically, a lot of people think Xi Jinping is becoming Mao Zedong. By giving Hong Kong democracy, people would look at them as enlightened leaders.
If Tung Chee-hwa dies, the stock market will take off.
I don't care about my personal security or my internet security.
Nobody will have control of the media in the future, because user-generated content is going to become the major content.
