The Records Association Chen Langsheng responded to Deng Bingqiang: No revenue foreign powers denounced the infiltration of improper claims

In an interview with Ta Kung Pao a few days ago, Secretary for Security Deng Bingqiang criticized the Hong Kong Journalists Association for advocating the so-called "everyone is a reporter," which violates professional ethics. He also questioned the Association for penetrating campuses and attracting "student reporters" to join.

The Journalist Association refuted that only 13% of its members were "student members", criticized Deng Bingqiang for attacking unreasonably, and emphasized that the Journalist Association would not "close files" easily.

Tang Bingqiang met with reporters after attending a meeting of the Legislative Council today (15th). He suggested that the Association should take the initiative to disclose the money received in the past few years, including whether foreign political organizations or personalities, etc., donations, and disclose the list of members, openly and honestly, so that the society "returns the Association's innocence." ".

In response to Deng Bingqiang’s remarks, Chen Langsheng, chairman of the Association of Journalists, said that he had never received a single cent from the so-called "foreign power". As a trade union, accounts have always been open to members and monitored by trade union regulations.

He also claimed that the term used for media education in schools to be described as "infiltration" is very unsatisfactory. He pointed out that if someone said that the JPC was "infiltrating the campus," he would also feel that this statement was wrong.

Emphasize that media education work is far from "penetration"

Chen Langsheng pointed out that the HKJAA has never received a single cent from the so-called "foreign power". As a trade union, the accounts have always been open to members and are monitored by the trade union regulations, emphasizing that the HKJJ has always been open and honest; if member information is disclosed, Will violate the "Privacy Ordinance".

He said that he did not want to guess the purpose of Deng Bingqiang's remarks, but pointed out that as a person with public power, his remarks would put some pressure on people.

When asked about the future of the Association, he pointed out that the "dissolution" may not be decided by the parties themselves, but the Association persisted.

Chen also pointed out that the term used for media education in schools to be described as "infiltration" is very unsatisfactory. If someone says that the JPC is "infiltrating the campus", he will also think it is incorrect.

He mentioned that what the Association teaches to students is to interpret the news and encourage them to watch the news more, without any political stance.

As for Deng Bingqiang's claim that the Journalist Association did not immediately condemn individual media for being intimidated, Chen Langsheng stated that people with any political stand will be treated equally. Just as the radio news interview vehicle was destroyed, they also had an immediate response.

However, he said that for some media being treated unfairly, it would be quicker to inquire about the details of the incident. However, it takes a long time for some media to obtain information when they understand the attack process. Therefore, they did not express their position immediately, but emphasized that as long as they have the basic facts, Will also make a statement immediately.

Therefore, he believes that Deng Bingqiang's statement is not true.

Deng Bingqiang suggested that the Journalist Association should consider publicizing the source of donations and the list of members: if you feel wronged, you can openly refute the accusation of Deng Bingqiang. He emphasized that the admission of members in accordance with the trade union regulations denies violations of the National Security Law. Will be closed
