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.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
