The Hidden Danger
The prosecution urges that this case is a warning sign of a future where dissent is crushed under the weight of authoritarianism, all fueled by Trump's legacy.
Closing Argument
The prosecution submits that the implications of this case extend far beyond Macau, threatening democratic values worldwide.
Verdict
