Journalists are trying to build up a scenario that they are bullied and harassed from their media work in Hong Kong.
They will continue with their group propaganda ideas to build more voices
into a " typhoon's storm clouds" to turn into "wolf cries", instead.
This is so that the media in the world would gather at the US-EU - supported international media forum to decry at China, instead.
They will bring to the UN to denounce China for their "whatever wicked policies" that the Western media could think of fabricating at China.
But these same international Western media had never complained of similar whatever restriction situations in other countries.
This can have even tougher media rules than China.
A good example is Singapore, where the authorities there have the right to order the person posted in the media to be removed.
Such public media like face book, you-tube, or other internet or paper media has to remove within 6 hours upon being notified.
And it has to include an apology for it, too. Or, else an action will taken
to prosecute the person in court for jail and fine.
The website will be ordered to close the account. If not closed, the website will be charged, fined.
And or licence can be suspended or the licence to operate to the country can
be completely revoked.
Also, a audited financial record must be available to be checked and audited has to be submitted yearly.
This has to be done before the website is allowed to renew its licence and
to continue beam to the country.
If the record is not submitted and disclosed, the license is withdrawn and
the website has to be shutdown.
If it does not submit the financial statement within the stipulated time,
the license is cancelled and withdrawn and the ban from broadcasting will
end.
The statement should show where the source of fund is earned, whether
through donations or sales of advertisement space on the website.
Also, the website has to subject to them even it was based abroad elsewhere. Heavy fines can be imposed on it.
Also, in the finale, the person who posted and owner of the website can be
sued as a media company for propagandas for their libel and defamation acts.
Even slander acts can be sued and can be leveraged upon for court's compensation award , too. Henceforth, if China and US have similar laws,
then Singapore has the same laws, too.
Therefore, China Hong Kong media is not much of differences when one
compares in similar situation in Singapore.
