China uses "Hong Kong" as white gloves

In a press conference held on 7 April 2020, a reporter kept on asking U.S. President Trump whether the U.S. will stop 'attacking' China with the medical supply sent from China to the U.S.

Trump then asked for the reporter's affiliation.

Trump: Who're you working for? China?
Reporter: No , I'm working for HK
Trump Who're you with?
Reporter: Hong Kong Phoenix TV
Trump: Who was that? China? It’s owned by China?
Reporter: It's based in Hong Kong.

Phoenix TV practically has a very low coverage and nearly no rating in Hong Kong. With its headquarters in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Phoenix TV was founded by Liu Changle, a veteran journalist who worked for China's state-owned media and has very close relationship with the Communist Party of China. Liu is still heading the TV station.

Not only that the biased question raised by the Phoenix TV reporter discloses the broadcaster's editorial stance, but the reporter's obscure answer to the background of Phoenix TV also reveals the convenient shield China manpulates.

Rather than just hearing out a China-funded media's rare statement that separates 'Hong Kong' from China, the incident exemplifies how China uses "Hong Kong" as white gloves at its convenience.

US President Donald Trump confronted a Phoenix TV reporter on Monday, who said the station was independently owned and Hong Kong-based.

Think tank Freedom House has said the station is a "semi-official" outlet with close ties to top officials.

A Hong Kong “based” channel but has zero views locally

There is no need for surprise because this is how the CCP is – when there are benefits, everything belongs to China; when there are accusations, it's none of my business.

In 2017, when China was accused of violating sanctions by the UN Security Council for smuggling petroleum to North Korea, Auntie Hua [Chunying] repeatedly dodged questions during the press conference. Two months later, the state-run newspaper Global Times published an article claiming that the freighter involved was rented by a Taiwanese business (which Taiwan later clearly denied).

At that moment, Taiwan did not belong to China.

Presently in 2020, a Phoenix TV reporter embarrassed herself at a press conference. When asked if she was a reporter from China, she feigned earnestness in responding three times that she came from Hong Kong, as if being Chinese was so shameful that she wanted Hong Kong independence now.

Where does Phoenix TV even come from? It is a TV channel that claims to be based in Hong Kong but has zero views locally. The channel needs to go through a television converter box and pretty much has no Hong Kong audience. Her intentions were clear as day when she claimed to be a Hong Kong reporter.

In Chinese mythology, the phoenix is the king of the birds and is known for its magnificence. But if they are so spineless, they might as well rebrand themselves as a pheasant.

Counterfeit 'Hong Kong' reporter from China's Party-Controlled Media

Although at one glance the two reporters might look alike, with a closer look we can see that they are two completely different persons, upholding different journalism ethics and standards.
