The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the central government in Hong Kong said it has summoned several foreign news organisations, their leaders, and journalists in Hong Kong for talks regarding the recent false information and smear campaign surrounding the Tai Po fire and the Legislative Council election.
The Office pointed out that recent reports by some foreign media regarding Hong Kong have disregarded facts, spread false information, distorted and smeared the government's disaster relief and post-disaster recovery efforts.
They have also attacked and interfered with the Legislative Council elections, incited social division and confrontation, hurt the feelings of Hong Kong citizens, and misled the international community's understanding.
The Office expressed serious concern about this. It emphasised that no media outlet may use the name of "press freedom" to interfere in China's internal affairs or Hong Kong affairs.
Foreign news organisations in Hong Kong have a legal obligation to abide by the Basic Law, the Hong Kong National Security Law, the National Security Ordinance, and avoid any violation of legal red lines.
