		Hong Kong's imminent return to China as of July 1, 1997, is one of the great historical events of the late 20th century.
		Journalists in Hong Kong have been particularly alarmed by comments made by Lu Ping, director of China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, in a series of interviews and press conferences in May and June.
		Hong Kong and Chinese philosophies on the press unavoidable is the fact that China's leaders have operated for nearly 50 years on the assumption that the media must be "patriotic" by serving the interests of the state and the Communist Party.

	FOE Annual Report - 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Hong Kong and China both under-stand this, and there are clear indications that—as long as Hong Kong makes the right noises—it is being allowed to deal with the issue in its own way, at least for the time being.
		Hong Kong appeared initially to be immune from the crackdown, even while the city became the main refuge of the movement within China.
		The HKJA is of the strong view that the best way to deal with media excesses is for individ-ual publications to put their house in order, through the use of corrections and apology col-umns, the printing of letters from aggrieved individuals, and the appointment of news om-budsmen to consider complaints from readers.

	Journalists fear Chinese crackdown on press
		HONG KONG -- When reporter Xi Yang was arrested in Beijing in September 1993, his colleagues in Hong Kong not only were alarmed, they were confused.
		Journalists and media observers here say the episode perhaps best illustrates a chill that is blanketing the media in the months before the Chinese government takes over Hong Kong from the British.
		Then there is the case of Xi (pronounced "she"), the Hong Kong journalist serving a 12-year prison term in China for publishing "state secrets" when he wrote about unpublished changes in interest rates.

		HONG KONG - Ching Cheong, the Hong Kong-based correspondent for Singapore's Straits Times who has been detained by Chinese anti-spy authorities since late April, is possibly only one among hundreds, if not thousands, of people in Hong Kong who could be picked up at any time by Chinese authorities.
		According to the Hong Kong Journalists' Association, this week Chinese security officials told Ching's wife that he was being held under house arrest in Beijing.
		Ching, 55, a Hong Kong resident who holds a British National Overseas passport and is a Singapore permanent resident, started his journalism career in Hong Kong more than 30 years ago as a junior reporter at the pro-Beijing Wen Wei Po.

		Her news source, a mainland journalist, was jailed for life for alleged participation in leaking an advance copy of a keynote speech by the Chinese president, Jiang Zemin.
		Britain's colonial government in Hong Kong, despite recent passage of a "bill of rights law," has a number of extraordinary discretionary powers, including ordinances and statutes that can be used to impose censorship and the tight control of information.

		The Hong Kong SAR Government, encouraged by the Government of the People's Republic of China, has eroded Hong Kong's political independence, international prestige, and its appeal as a business and financial hub of Asia.
