	RFA: Cultural Revolution Expert Says Free Media Crucial to Hong Kong

		Ding, who published a report in Hong Kong recently in which he estimated that two million of China's intellectual and artistic elite lost their lives during the Cultural Revolution, said China's approach in Hong Kong so far appeared to be to "attack the minority" of pro-democracy politicians, painting them as unpatriotic troublemakers.
		Half a million people took to the streets in Hong Kong on July 1, 2003 to protest at the government's handling of "Article 23" national security legislation that sparked fears that it might be used to control the media, and to curb other traditional freedoms enjoyed in the territory.

	Hong Kong Media in the Changing Political Landscape
		In 1996, the outgoing British governor of Hong Kong high-lighted press freedom as one of the benchmarks by which the “one country, two systems” policy would be judged after China regained sovereignty over the colony.
