Rumors of actor Alex Mak was ordered by TVB to stop working due to participation of Hong Kong pro-democracy movement
(14 May)Hong Kong police have been accused of abusing its power and conducting indiscriminate arrests during the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong in 2019, also known as the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement.
So far, nearly 8,000 people have been arrested. Of the arrested, one of them is 26-year-old up-and-coming TV actor Hoi Ching (Alex) Mak, according to Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily. He was reportedly arrested at the end of 2019 after participating in one of the protests.
Mak is employed by local pro-establishment TV station TVB. It is said that TVB has stopped all of Mak’s work following the arrest. Mak was not seen in the promotion of a recently aired TVB show, in which he is one of the actors. Mak decided to return to his hometown in France after being suppressed by the company due to his political views.
Mak was one of the favorite actors of TVB’s top management team, headed by Yee Ling (Virginia) Lok and Wing Shan (Sandy) Yue. Following his arrest, Mak’s dense working schedule was quickly cancelled by TVB.
Mak’s colleagues at TVB were surprised by his sudden departure.
There are reports that TVB has issued a gag order to forbid the few people who are familiar with the matter to say much.
Mak was actively posting promo videos and photos relating to the latest TVB show he participated in before his employer took him out of all promotional work. He disappeared from Instagram for around three months.
Recently, Alex posted a selfie on his social media platform. In the photo, he wore sunglasses without expression. The caption was: "Take a break. Take a look."
Online comments from his fans included: "You left TVB?", " Why you been gone so long?"

Hongkongers abandon TVB, RTHK's Channel 32 popularity surges 22 fold
(28 May) RTHK has been heavily suppressed by the Hong Kong Government and the Pro-establishment camp in recent years, but its broadcast popularity still steadily increased. Broadcast popularity of RTHK 31 and 32 TV channel in 2019 increased 1.45 times and 22.4 times respectively; average audience of both increased from 9.4k to 52.3k. Bruce Lui, a Senior Tutor from the Department of Journalism at HK Baptist University (HKBU) opined that the event of anti-extradition bill last year led to the rising popularity of RTHK 32 TV channel. Moreover, the popular encouragement made many more switch channels and the high quality of RTHK’s news attracted a large part of the TVB news audience to switch.

Hongkongers abandon TVB, RTHK's Channel 32 popularity surges 22 fold
Editors Note:
TVB, a commercial media corporation founded in 1967, is a traditional local-born television channel, which was popular & well-known by Hongkongers of every walk of life, representing the Hong Kong TV culture, over the decades. However, its management and administration became seriously intertwined with the CCP in recent years, they fabricated news and produced dramas that are pro-CCP and pro-Government, losing its Hong Kong identity and the fundamental truth-finding spirit of journalism.
In the contrary, RTHK is one of the departments under the HKSAR Government, its producers and management stands firm on justice's and Hongkonger's side, maintaining its conscience, professionalism and truthful reporting which educates the public without fear of suppression by the HKSAR Government and the CCP.
Surging popularity of RTHK indirectly reflects that more and more HongKongers are aware of the brutal CCP regime and its tyranny, endangering Hong Kong’s freedom, justice and way of life.

Evident favoritism towards Pro-china Broadcaster in Communications Authority’s Enforcement
The complaint against the RTHK programme, Headliner, a popular satirical show, for "defaming and insulting" Hong Kong Police force was substantiated according to findings from Communications Authority’s investigation.
The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, which oversees the Authority, said no broadcaster should spread hatred and the Bureau chief, Edward Yau Tang-wah, demanded an immediate review and suspension of the programme.
When it comes to controversial programmes produced by pro-china broadcasters, Hong Kong officials responded differently. A 80-min program about the Hong Kong ptotesds, which was produced by the Chinese Central Television (CCTV), was broadcasted in early June on all of the city’s free and paid TV channels, including TVB News & Finance Channel, NOW Finance Channel and Cable TV paid channel.
The program claimed to "analyse the hidden forces" behind the movement, pointing fingers directly at the “pro-independence” politicians and "foreign interference" for "strategizing and inciting the riots".
The US consulate accused the CCTV program as a “blatant fraudulent misrepresentation” and 377 complaints were received as the Communications Authority admitted.
Charles Mok, Panel Chair on Information Technology and Broadcasting of Legislative Council said “the content of the documentary could be tightened”. He urged the Authority to seriously investigate into the matter.
Surprisingly, CEDB stepped back on this incident and responded conservatively by only highlighting formalities and established complaint handling procedures as their defense.

NOW TV chief Cheung Chi-kong will retire in August, former TVB Chinese team head Bill Chan takes his position
NOW TV has been one of the most credible news channels in Hong Kong. Its chief Cheung Chi-kong will retire in August 2020, and retired journalist Bill Chan will take his position. Cheung admitted in his interview with Stand News that he decided to retire before the anti-ELAB movement. He suggested that it is useless to worry if his departure will affect NOW’s credibility.
A NOW TV employee expressed his worry about Cheung’s departure. It still remains a question as to whether Chan’s new position will affect the TV station in any manner.
Another senior journalist from NOW TV suggested that Chan’s arrival was unexpected, because the position should have been given to Annie Cheng, Cheung’s subordinate who has been working with NOW for 15 years. He admitted that he was not confident about the personnel change because it may affect the freedom of press and the journalistic integrity of the NOW TV news team.

The “Evil Law Diary”: How to Destroy a News Department
(19 Jun)Clear skies, night-time in Mongkok, a lot of people queuing outside a small shop as though nothing has happened.
//I rushed back home to watch the last episode of Headliner...The Emperor’s Mother (a character in Headliner mocking Carrie Lam) said “we hope to meet again”, which was a lie. It would have been difficult to say “we will definitely come back" as it is highly uncertain.
//The world of media is wailing today.
//the show is in a dire situation and there is no specified date to meet again. Even if it does come back one day, it will for sure be under a harmonious but intolerable veneer. Perhaps, the personnel at Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) will be completely different by then.
//Today was the 25th anniversary of the Apple Daily Newspaper. A special edition was issued. Editors understood that their boss, Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, is now a prime target of the power elites/gangsters. They celebrated the 25th anniversary because they cannot see a 30th anniversary celebration at this point. Someone proposed "The End of Apple Daily" as the title of the special edition. In the end, it was entitled "Not the End of Apple Daily". There is no reason to surrender. They will treat every day like it is the final one and persist.
//a retiree and former executive at TVB will be the new boss of the Now TV news department and he will bring in a team from CCTVB.
//What does an untrustworthy government which likes to lie and deceive its citizens hate the most? A credible news media for sure.
//how do you destroy a news department? The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is good at this - by replacing management, manipulating an organization’s structure through personnel changes, setting new targets, and controlling daily operations
//it is natural selection; survival of those who are obedient; an elimination of the capable ones so that the inferior will survive.

According to Yuen Long District Councillor Sammy Cheung, he arrived at Pok Oi hospital after a pro-China white-clad group had allegedly attacked civilians in Long Ping on June 28.
TVB news crewapproached the victims coming out of the hospital for interview. Even after the person agreed to be interviewed on the terms that their face won't be shown, the TVB news crew allegedly set up secret cameras to record their faces.
Cheung then went forward to stop the crew. They responded, "we're just trying to record the side profiles of the kids".
Afterwards, Cheung and his team retold the incident on their Facebook page, urging citizens to beware of TVB news.

Summon the dead to identify protester's mother
(27 Jun) At the end of September last year, a naked corpse of a 15-year old female were awkwardly floating in the ocean. The Hong Kong police declared no foul play suspected and the body was cremated and left no remnants to investigate. The Hong Kong Coroner's Court recently did a pre-inquest review on the case.
The deceased was Chan Yin-lam, a competitive swimmer. Whether it was a "suicide" or if she "was suicided" remains an issue rife with suspicions and doubts. Someone's daughter had gone missing. Tsz-ming, one of the people in her search team, learned that the news of her death came out during the hustle and bustle. Overnight, he lost contact with both Chan's mother and her maternal uncle. The two family members vanished without a trace...
Chan had participated in anti-extradition law amendment bill (anti-ELAB) activities many times. A lovely young girl was inexplicably reduced to ash. Afterwards, many young people from the protests disappeared, some suspect they were extradited to mainland China, killed or suicided. They became trapeze artists (that shed no blood when landing) and floating corpses in the ocean. The atrocities of public security and evil cops were covered up and indulged, so will they simply remain unpunished? To appease the mob, TVB news director set out to interview Chan's mother; her blurred out face could not have been any faker. Later, some scoundrel of [Confucian] propriety, righteousness, integrity and politics* wrote an open letter "on behalf of" Chan's mother. It came with no photo, no signature and no authorisation; no one in Hong Kong believed it. For the entirety of the court date, police officers surrounded and escorted her... Netizens examined old photos of Chan's mother, suspected photos of the deceased and the more recent images from her [mother's] court appearance. They made comparisons of her [Chan's] brow ridges, the birthmark on her neck, the part in her hair and the puffiness in her eyes. This "grand charade" could not end even if it wanted to. So this place does not have 300 taels?+ Who knows what is true or false? Display ID? Compare names? DNA testing? Which department is trustworthy?
This is why the best way to seek redress is by summoning the dead in a public trial just like the Hello Kitty murder case++ when the courtroom's halogen lights kept flashing and the victim's half-cooked head aired her own grievances. Only if [Chan's] departed soul cries out "Mom!" in the courtroom will we believe it.
Editor's Note:
* 禮義廉政 is a play on words of the proper phrase, 禮義廉恥, meaning propriety, righteousness, integrity and honour. This article replaced honour (恥) with politics (政).
+ This place does not have 300 taels is a Chinese idiom akin to one of Aesop's Fables. It refers to someone who believes that they are clever, but their attempt to cover something up only makes the situation more obvious.
++ The Hello Kitty murder case refers to the kidnapping, torture and death of night club hostess in 1999. The convicts boiled her head to hide evidence of the crime.

"#FakeNews": Pro-Beijing TV Channel Broadcast Misleading Report of Postponed Elections Overseas
Beijing-friendly TVB reported on 17 August 2020 on several postponed elections in other countries. However, its graphic titled "Five Eyes Alliance Postpones Elections" quickly angered netizens, who accused the TV station for whitewashing Beijing's forceful postponement of Hong Kong's legislative elections.
The report was seen as portraying other nations' election delay to legitimize what happened in Hong Kong. Some netizens outright called it "fake news".
In fact, out of the five countries listed, New Zealand is the only one postponing a federal-level election, and that only by one month. Britain's parliamentary elections was last held in 2019, and the next one will not be held until 2024. The elections cited by TVB were for a number local councils and mayors. Australia's is for the provincial government of New South Wales, and it is only delayed by four weeks. In Canada's case, the dates were for municipal elections in the single province of New Brunswick.
Joshua Wong noted that, most significantly, the decision to delay these elections were made by democratically-elected governments, who are voted in and can be voted out by their citizens. In contrast, Hong Kong's postponement was singlehandedly decided by China's National Congress, precluding and overruling any decision the Hong Kong Legislature might make, thus giving Hongkongers no say in the matter.
The screenshot of the TVB graphic was widely circulated in a Facebook post since yesterday. As citizens from the countries concerned confirmed that no federal elections were scheduled, netizens accused TVB for using the information to mislead and justify China postponing Hong Kong's legislative election, which is indeed a top-level election. Some are calling for the TV station to immediately issue a correction and clarification.

"#FakeNews": Pro-Beijing TV Channel Broadcast Misleading Report of Postponed Elections Overseas
Beijing-friendly TVB reported on 17 August 2020 on several postponed elections in other countries. However, its graphic titled "Five Eyes Alliance Postpones Elections" quickly angered netizens, who accused the TV station for whitewashing Beijing's forceful postponement of Hong Kong's legislative elections.
The report was seen as portraying other nations' election delay to legitimize what happened in Hong Kong. Some netizens outright called it "fake news".
In fact, out of the five countries listed, New Zealand is the only one postponing a federal-level election, and that only by one month. Britain's parliamentary elections was last held in 2019, and the next one will not be held until 2024. The elections cited by TVB were for a number local councils and mayors. Australia's is for the provincial government of New South Wales, and it is only delayed by four weeks. In Canada's case, the dates were for municipal elections in the single province of New Brunswick.
Joshua Wong noted that, most significantly, the decision to delay these elections were made by democratically-elected governments, who are voted in and can be voted out by their citizens. In contrast, Hong Kong's postponement was singlehandedly decided by China's National Congress, precluding and overruling any decision the Hong Kong Legislature might make, thus giving Hongkongers no say in the matter.
The screenshot of the TVB graphic was widely circulated in a Facebook post since yesterday. As citizens from the countries concerned confirmed that no federal elections were scheduled, netizens accused TVB for using the information to mislead and justify China postponing Hong Kong's legislative election, which is indeed a top-level election. Some are calling for the TV station to immediately issue a correction and clarification.

Oscars Dumped by Hong Kong’s TVB After China Censorship Order
The city’s largest TV network TVB, has broadcast the Academy Awards on its English-language channel every year since 1969, when musical ‘Oliver!’ won Best Picture. However, other local broadcasters in Hong Kong including Now TV, Viu TV and Cable TV also don’t have the broadcast rights.
The awards will take place in Los Angeles on April 25. “Do Not Split,” which chronicles the 2019 demonstrations against China’s tightening grip over the former British territory, was nominated for best short documentary.
The Communist Party’s propaganda department told all local media outlets to scrap live broadcasts of the Oscars.

Resigned News Anchor Encourage Hongkongers to Take Care in Challenging Times
Wong Chun-yin, a news anchor in Hong Kong working for the TV station TVB, resigned on March 24, 2021.
At the end of his last newscast, Wong bidded farewell to his audiences, “This is my last time to present news here. Hongkongers, take care and goodbye.”
After that, Wong wrote a post on Instagram, in which he described his feelings and experience since joining the journalism industry in Hong Kong.
Wong said he was once struck by excitement when he for the first time rode on the press vehicle of TVB news as a reporter many years ago.
Wong said he used to take pride in being part of the the once well-respected “TVB News” in his profession.
“However, when doing news in the field today, we have to cover up the logo on the news vehicle with a piece of white cloth and take off logo clips on the microphone in order to hide our identity,” Wong wrote.
Reflecting from his years of experience in TVB news team, Wong expressed deep disappointment in the management, which has been regarded a cause of self censorship and the station's deteriorating integrety.
“I faced absurdity every day as a reporter, which I found it torturous," Wong wtote. "Years later, I was promoted from a front-line reporter to a news anchor, which was another eye-opening experience."
"Although I was slightly away from the field, my role as a reporter has never been changed despite the different work positions. I thenrealised that there is, in fact, no cure for in-your-face absurdity.”
Wong quoted what Chris Pattern, the former governor of Hong Kong, said to the Chinese officials when he departed Hong Kong in 1997:
“Hong Kong was like a Rolls-Royce. All you had to do was to take charge of the ignition key, get in, turn on the engine. And the car would go.”
Wong lamented, “Today, the Rolls-Royce probably has become a HengChi. It is unfortunate that the same situation has happened to the TVB news team. It is sad and a lost cause.”
In closing, Wong thanked his colleagues and friends, saying that he will certainly miss the excitement in the journalist's work and the persistence in always looking for the right words to say.
Wong sighed that “the toughest question is that times has changed and it cannot be crawled back to the old days.”

Young men arrested for “sending angry emoji” targeting pro-China media outlet in Hong Kong
On July 29, Hong Kong police arrested two men over a suspected media boycott campaign. The 18-year-old and 26-year-old were allegedly connected to a Facebook group that contained intimidating messages against a media firm and the Police Force.
The two men were accused of inciting others to attack staff from the firm, police officers and their relatives, as well as on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal intimidation and inciting others to take part in unlawful assembly.
Reporters questioned whether “boycott” and “sending angry emoji” are criminal offences.
Superintendent Wilson Tam, from the force's Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau claimed officers had gone through all the posts, targeting over 100 entities. The particular Facebook group had pressurised them to withdraw advertisements on that media organization, which could cause financial losses to the media company, or damage its reputation.
The Facebook page, “Boycott TVB”, responded to the case in the afternoon, stating that they are not connected to the those being arrested. The page reiterated that they have always been advocating via “peaceful, rational and non-violent” means for advertises to stop partnering with controversial media and oppose any means to damage media organizations, advertisers' personal or property.
