Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chu and Mr. Ho, thank you for your testimony.

I would like to focus on what has made Hong Kong different from mainland China. One of those things is freedom of the press. It was guaranteed in the international treaty, the 1984 joint declaration, and it's guaranteed in article 27 of the Basic Law and article 16 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights.

My question is for Mr. Ho. As a retired editor-in-chief of the B.C. edition of Sing Tao Daily, do you think freedom of the press in Hong Kong has changed? If so, how?
