About 40 people from the Cable News Department were laid off yesterday, covering Hong Kong news, finance, photographers, editing and other groups. Among them, the entire group of the news topic "News Stinger" was dismissed, which caused a major personnel earthquake.
The laid-off Assistant Interview Director of the China Cable Group, Huang Liping, stated on the commercial channel program "Starting on a Sunny Day" today (2nd) that the company had no communication with its employees before the layoffs and did not respect the operation of the Information Department, which made colleagues very angry.
She also stated on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that after the new management joined, she failed to lead the news department forward and even intervened in news operations.
As for whether the layoffs are under political review, she believes it is entirely possible, but not sure.
The cable dispatched about 40 people from the News Department without warning, including Huang Liping, Assistant Interview Director of the China Group, and triggered the resignation of all members of the Cable China Group to show their dissatisfaction.

Huang Liping: Management is rude and does not respect the operation of the press
Huang Liping pointed out that employees learned about the company's layoffs only through the "broadcasting" of the outside world. Yesterday the news department had a bad atmosphere, and the employees were very angry. They were dissatisfied that the management had not discussed with the department heads on how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. , Completely disrespecting the operation of the Information Department, so that employees cannot accept it.
After the new capital came in, the company had previously fired a former senior and replaced it with 4 managements. However, Huang Liping said that he could not see the 4 managements leading the entire news department. Instead, the staff worked very hard to maintain the quality of the news, which eventually led to some reporters. Believing that he could not continue to work hard to maintain the quality of the news, he decided to resign collectively.

The new management's failure to lead the press department is ridiculous
She also alleged that Xu Fanghui, deputy general manager of news and public affairs, did not understand news, did not communicate with employees, and often made "ridiculous requests" when participating in meetings. For example, the China Group once wanted to make a news about official lawyers in the Mainland, and Xu asked to find An "officially sent lawyers to help others" point of view to balance the story, but she believes that the other party may interfere with the report from the perspective of "playing balance", but she was eventually sent off.
Or on the day when the Hong Kong and Taiwan editor Cai Ruoling was arrested, Xu Fanghui thought that Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s visit to Beijing was the headline news at that time, which attracted colleagues’ opposition.
She also pointed out that Xu Fanghui attaches great importance to the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will also use wireless news as a standard to measure cable news.
Whether this layoff is a political review, Huang Liping believes that it is entirely possible, but it is not certain.
When asked whether Hong Kong could accommodate similar Chinese news reports in the future, Huang Liping believed that Hong Kong would still be acceptable, and the Liaison Office of the Central Committee did not want to "mute the voice." Mainland people also have many ways to access similar Chinese news reports.
She plans to apply for a job first, but she bluntly said that there should be difficulties in the epidemic.
