It was, unfortunately, to watch TVB for 5 minutes. The content was about the good deeds of Wuhan pneumonia. It was not surprising to tie in with the rhythm of CCP, but the melodrama part was difficult to understand. One part it mentioned a Hongkonger in Wuhan was infected Wuhan pneumonia, but there was no hospital bed. However, later some people concerned has involved in this matter and addressed that the patient was a Hongkonger and so a hospital bed must be allocated. This Hongkonger appreciated that. If it was real, given that he didn’t follow the procedure and received special treatment relying on guanxi or rank, was it really a touching good deed? Is that no one feels strange to propagandize this?

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.

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.
