RTHK management said it was an economic decision to take the lowest rated of their seven channels and meet the new demand for Putonghua-language programming in Hong Kong.
Putonghua is one of the four primary influences on Hong Kong's culture (Lee, 1991), but for a number of years leading up to 1997, Putonghua had been viewed by Hong Kong people as the language of the lower class, the poor, and the uneducated (Ma, 1999).
RTHK documents support this view that "the station's overriding responsibility is to provide radio and television services that are distinctive and of high quality, and that are or might be at risk in the commercially funded sector of the market" (Radio Television Hong Kong, 1998, p. 6).

The fracas began on March 4 when a Hong Kong delegate to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Congress harshly criticized the city's government-owned broadcaster, Radio Television Hong Kong, and urged the government to clamp down on it.
Hong Kong's chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, added to the fears with only a tepid endorsement of the broadcaster's editorial independence.
Fears that Hong Kong's news media would be muzzled after the July 1 return to China had receded in recent months, partly because Beijing has kept a determinedly low profile there and partly because Asia's economic crisis has distracted people from politics.

What happened here in Hong Kong and Beijing this week could be described as a bit of an acorn - and unless someone yanks the sucker up by its hardly formed roots, we could one day see a mighty oak in its place.
Well, according to Xu, since RTHK is a public broadcaster 'funded' by the government, they should toe the bloody line - just like that alleged news agency, Xinhua.
To summarise, Hong Kong is indeed part of China, but with the 'one-country-two-systems' arrangement, Hong Kong is largely responsible for its own affairs except defense.

RTHK is a rapidly growing, Hong Kong based producer of Cantonese, Mandarin and English radio and television programming, including news, financial news and current affairs, that is available live on the Internet, to personal digital assistants (PDAs), and via download.
