  "summary": "Japanese DJ Mao Hamasaki, also known as DJ Mao, recently used the social media platform X to recount an experience of consuming a spiked drink in Hong Kong. According to the South China Morning Post - Hong Kong, her account included apologies that left local social media users perplexed. Hamasaki noted that people questioned why she was apologizing and taking the blame, making it appear as though she was placing the fault on herself.\n\nIn separate news, US President Donald Trump stated that China harbors a \"great level of hatred\" toward jailed Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai. According to Free Malaysia Today, Trump told Salem News Channel that Lai, the 78-year-old founder of Apple Daily, is unlikely to be released from prison. Lai was sentenced in February to 20 years in prison on charges of sedition and foreign collusion following pro-democracy protests.",
