And now we have it. This is not good.
Ta Kung Pao is now owned by the Liaison Office in Hong Kong, innocent-sounding name for the reps of China Communist Party. So it’s the voice of Beijing. No choice on the way we handle Covid. It’s Beijing’s. A skewering on One Country Two Systems.
I used to read and translate articles in the Ta Kung Pao back in the 70s, as part of Chinese language study. It was not then openly owned by Beijing but known to “reflect” China’s views and worth reading for that reason alone.
