The Hong Kong Chronicle, a website that records information about Hong Kong’s “anti-China” movement, is suspected to have been blocked by the government. The police said they would not comment on the case, but cited the implementation rules of Hong Kong’s national security law, saying that electronic messages that could endanger national security could be blocked.
According to Taiwan‘s Central News Agency, the official Radio Television Hong Kong said in a report on Jan. 8 that the Hong Kong Chronicle, a website that records information on anti-revision demonstrations (anti-sending to China) and information on people who support the government, has been unavailable for viewing. The editor of the website questioned the authorities for blocking the website.
In response to questions, the report said the police do not comment on individual cases, but pointed out that according to Article 43 of the Hong Kong National Security Law and its implementing regulations, the police can take action to ban electronic messages posted on electronic platforms by service providers that are “likely to constitute an offence against national security or to cause an offence against national security to occur”.
The police also said that any action taken will be handled in accordance with the actual situation.
