He pointed out that "Position News" and "Zhongxin" have been suspended recently. Although they have criticized many positions and advocates, they have always been important online media in Hong Kong. The supporters of the democratic camp range from "light yellow" to "deep". Both "yellow" will be watched. The suspension of the two shows that the freedom of the press is "total loss."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will republish it in Taiwan. If there are enough manpower resources."
As for MyRadio, programs made in Hong Kong will be temporarily removed from the shelves. "There are many reasons, and you can interpret them as you like." However, I hope that my colleagues in Hong Kong can continue to work in a safe environment.
