HK foreign press club blasted

Hosting of 'independence' speech unlawful, harms national security

The Foreign Ministry's top representative in Hong Kong urged the city's Foreign Correspondents' Club on Tuesday to stop harming national security under the guise of freedom of the press and speech.

The censure came in a statement issued by the Commissioner's Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region after local pro-independence activist Andy Chan Ho-tin delivered a speech at the FCC in Central.
