#RTHK Requires Intern to Declare Allegiance; Students Decline Offer
Part 1
Mr. Chan, a third-year journalism student, received an internship offer from RTHK, a public broadcaster in Hong Kong, in May 2021. The internship was supposed to start in mid-June.
However, in early June, Chan received a notice from his teacher that a declaration of allegiance must be signed for the internship to be undertaken at the said station..
Chan originally planed to take the oath, although he has no intention of joining the government after graduation.
Until a few days before his internship started, he leant that Hong Kong and Macao residents are required to declare whether one has ever "sworn or signed a declaration of supporting the Basic Law and allegiance to the Hong Kong and Macao governments" when migrating to Taiwan.
As Chan planned to join an exchange program in Taiwan in September, he worried that the oath would affect his entry.
"Am I actually taking this oath just for a two-month internship?" Chan asked himself.
In the end, he changed his mind and told his teacher that he would give up this internship.
Since his degree program requires students to complete an internship at a news outlet before they graduate, Chan later underwent his training at a radio station.
