Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily closes with 'painful farewell' as Beijing cracks down on dissent.

The city’s embattled leader, Carrie Lam, defended the arrests and the raid at a news conference Tuesday.

And the Communist Party-backed Global Times said in an editorial Thursday that press freedom would remain in Hong Kong, pushing back against criticism from officials in Europe and U.S. lawmakers over the Apple Daily’s fate. Benedict Rogers, chairman and co-founder of rights group Hong Kong Watch, said that this will “not be the last” incident of its kind.

“Apple Daily was not just another news organization. It was the loudest, the most critical news organization out there,” Tsui said.

This was what would have happened under Trump in term 2 That’s exactly what trump tried to do on several occasions but for the laws we have in place for free press. Free press gives Americans insight into the workings of our government & population to hold all accountable w/ facts to back it up! A dictator would call news fake!
