[Apple Daily: Hong Kong pro-democracy paper announces closure
Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy paper Apple Daily
has announced its closure,
in a blow to media freedom in the city.
The tabloid's offices were raided last week over
allegations that several reports had breached
a controversial national security law.
Police detained the chief editor and five other
executives, and company-linked assets were frozen.
The publication had become a leading critic of
the Hong Kong and Chinese leadership.
The Apple Daily management said that
"in view of staff members' safety",
it had decided "to cease operation immediately
after midnight" - making Thursday's publication
the final printed edition.]

It was just a matter of time
with China taking more Control
of Hong Kong Media.
