Hong Kong Press Freedom Ranking Drops To 140th

RTHK Radio 1 Hong Kong Hong Kong 12d12d Impact 6

A representative from the Fire Incident Investigation Commission admitted that deficiencies exist within the current procurement process. The Chinese Special Administrative Region previously held much higher positions in the ranking. This decline follows the expansion of control by the Beijing-based state and party leadership over the former British colony. Numerous media outlets have been closed and journalists have been arrested during this period. Reporters Without Borders released a new global ranking today showing press freedom has reached its lowest level in 25 years. The report indicates that journalists face critical situations in more than half of the countries surveyed. Hong Kong's ranking has fallen to 140th place. The findings were published on Thursday.

Reporters Without Borders released a new global ranking today showing press freedom has reached its lowest level in 25 years. The report indicates that journalists face critical situations in more than half of the countries surveyed. Hong Kong's ranking has fallen to 140th place. The findings were published on Thursday. Thierry Bretin, Director General of Reporters Without Borders (RSF), noted that press freedom is degrading in more than half of the world's countries. Bretin noted that while the country was already classified as being in a problematic situation in 2024, the current drop reflects the scale of measures implemented under the influence of Donald Trump. The report suggests press freedom is degrading, specifically citing the influence of the US president as a factor in the broader movement. The report notes that the internet is also being monitored and obstructed by state authorities.
