Hong Kong bookstore owner Lam Wing-kee says his Causeway Bay Books will reopen in Taipei on Saturday according to schedule. That’s despite an attack on him Tuesday, in which he had red paint splashed on him. Lam says he believes China is behind the attack.

Lam has been living in Taiwan for about a year after fleeing Hong Kong due to the threat of Chinese persecution. In 2015, Lam was arrested after crossing Hong Kong’s border into the Chinese city of Shenzhen. He was released in 2016 after nearly eight months in detention, and he remains a wanted person for “selling books illegally.”

Lam Wing-kee’s Causeway Bay Books in Taipei should be getting ready for a grand opening this week. Instead, it’s been filled with police gathering evidence.    [FULL  STORY]
