    “Actions by Hong Kong authorities, including referring to RFA as a ‘foreign force,’ raise serious questions about our ability to operate in safety with the enactment of Article 23,” Bay Fang, president and chief executive of Radio Free Asia, said in a statement.

    Well, of course, Radio Free Asia is part of the CIA’s propaganda network. It works in partnership with something called the Open Technology Fund (OTF) which was used to funnel money to rioters. That is now illegal, it wasn’t before.

    With regards to freedom of the press, it says:

    (b) human rights are to be respected and protected, the rights and freedoms, including the freedoms of speech, of the press and of publication, the freedom of association, of assembly, of procession and of demonstration, enjoyed under the Basic Law, the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights as applied to the HKSAR, are to be protected in accordance with the law

    There is nothing in it that is not in anyone else’s security law, you can read the whole thing here if you don’t believe me:
