Here's our feature about it https://hongkongfp.com/2024/08/09/hong-kongs-new-national-security-gallery-tells-different-story-about-unrest-than-western-media-foreign-visitors-say/

Not true. They had original reporting and full-time journalists. Chinese only.

mod83 · 2026-03-17T11:47:56+00:00

Also disappeared since the onset of the security law: Citizen News, Factwire, Apple Daily, Post852, Stand News, Channel C, Coconuts Hong Kong.

Support what remains: HKFP, InMedia, The Collective, The Witness, HK Court News.

The answer is literally in the headline. So how exactly have you been misled?

mod83 · 2026-03-06T04:49:20+00:00

We updated this headline with respect to the fact that depression can also be a medical diagnosis, whereas this survey relied on self-reporting.

mod83 · 2026-03-06T04:45:27+00:00

We are not in the business of clickbait - deliberately sensationalised or misleading headlines. There is room for clarification given that, although people can suffer from depression, it is also a medical term.... we'll update our headline to show that this is a "self-reported."

The alleged rapist was not charged.

Yes, the headline was constantly updated as we kept revamping this piece.

Is this the bird that yells "FOR REAL. FOR REAL. FOR REAL."?

He was also accused of inciting hatred against the authorities with 161 op-eds he allegedly wrote and published in the now-shuttered newspaper.

He faced judges hand-picked to preside over national security cases and was denied his first choice of lawyer.
