Hong Kong’s public broadcaster RTHK has received an order to stop referring to Taiwan as an independent country that has a president.
This could signal Beijing’s push to further consolidate its grip on Hong Kong, an autonomous region that has traditionally enjoyed more freedoms and general political and social leeway than the rest of the country.
For example, Hong Kong is (still) exempt from the Great Firewall internet censorship system – but clearly not from Beijing’s “One China” principle and policy, under which, as far as the country’s authorities are concerned, there is a single China, comprising the mainland and Taiwan.
Taiwan, on the other hand, considers itself an independent state. A memo sent to RTHK under the title, “Use of terminology in relation to Taiwan,” reminds the broadcaster’s staff that it is Hong Kong’s public service and a government department, and is therefore under obligation to strictly adhere to policies that deal with terminology around Taiwan’s status. The memo states that Taiwan is a part of China and cannot be referred to as a country; its leader cannot be called president, but, for example, “most senior leader”; while the term Taiwan government is to be avoided and replaced with, Taiwan authorities.
“Under no circumstances should Taiwan be referred to as a sovereign state or perceived as one,” the internal note spells it out. The order applies to TV, radio, and internet outlets operated by RTHK.
This is taking place after Hong Kong’s Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward Yau was last week told by a lawmaker that RTHK could be violating the One China principle in its reporting. Last year, Yau himself accused the broadcaster of doing the same while trying to get World Health Organization official Bruce Aylward to say if the UN agency would allow Taiwan to join as a member.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
