Beijing slams Bloomberg’s false report about Hong Kong triggered panic and affected the legislation
Shenzhen TV: Recently Bloomberg published a report, alleging that “Hong Kong says Telegram and Signal should be prohibited in Article 23 proposal” and that “Hong Kong security law public consultation lists Facebook, YouTube ban.” The Hong Kong SAR government issued a statement, expressing strong disapproval and condemnation over Bloomberg’s false report, which generated misunderstanding and panic. Bloomberg withdrew the false report afterwards, updated it and made a clarification. What is your comment on this?
Mao Ning: Completing the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law is the constitutional responsibility of the government of the Hong Kong SAR and what must be done for the lasting stability and security in Hong Kong and the sound implementation of One Country, Two systems in the long run. It has got extensive support from the Hong Kong society. The draft bill gazetted today fully shows that this legislation strikes a balance between safeguarding national security and protecting rights, freedoms and economic growth. It will provide safeguards for the high-quality development and high-standard opening up in Hong Kong, as well as the sound and steady implementation of One Country, Two systems.
Boomberg’s false report triggered misunderstanding and panic in the public and affected the relevant legislation. It is a severe mistake. The Hong Kong SAR government made solemn statements and the Commissioner’s Office of China’s Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong SAR made serious démarches to Bloomberg. Bloomberg retracted the previous report and made corrections. In the new report, it acknowledged that the previous one misreported the story, expressed sincere apologies and said that it will be more careful and thorough in the future coverage to prevent similar issues from happening again.
We hope all media outlets will draw lessons from this incident and cover Hong Kong and China in an objective and fair way to maintain their own credibility.
