The new rules were introduced as coun- termeasures against foreign nations enact- ing sanctions on Beijing. This development may put foreign organizations and indi- viduals enforcing their home countries’ sanctions against China in a tough position going forward. The new law expands the Chinese re- gime’s toolkit to fight back against sanc- tions and can be used in conjunction with the existing Unreliable Entities List of com- panies it created last year. The measures are extensive and give the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) broad powers to sanction organizations and indi- viduals complying with sanctions against China. So, what exactly can it do? The CCP The Chinese consulate in Perth, Australia, on March 24, 2014. could deny visas for, deport, and restrict travel for affected entities, seize properties bank complying with President Joe Biden’s measures casually, these measures are now they have within China, block business updated executive order to affirm the available to the CCP under the new law.

    Media Capture with Chinese Characteristics

    JOU0010.1177/1464884917724632JournalismBelair-Gagnon et al. 724632research-article2017 Article Journalism 1 –17 Media capture with Chinese © The Author(s) 2017 Reprints and permissions: characteristics: Changing sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/1464884917724632DOI: 10.1177/1464884917724632 patterns in Hong Kong’s journals.sagepub.com/home/jou news media system Nicholas Frisch Yale University, USA Valerie Belair-Gagnon University of Minnesota, USA Colin Agur University of Minnesota, USA Abstract In the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, a former British territory in southern China returned to the People’s Republic as a semi-autonomous enclave in 1997, media capture has distinct characteristics. On one hand, Hong Kong offers a case of media capture in an uncensored media sector and open market economy similar to those of Western industrialized democracies. Yet Hong Kong’s comparatively small size, close proximity, and broad economic exposure to the authoritarian markets and politics of neighboring Mainland China, which practices strict censorship, place unique pressures on Hong Kong’s nominally free press. Building on the literature on media and politics in Hong Kong post-handover and drawing on interviews with journalists in Hong Kong, this article examines the dynamics of media capture in Hong Kong. It highlights how corporate-owned legacy media outlets are increasingly deferential to the Beijing government’s news agenda, while social media is fostering alternative spaces for more skeptical and aggressive voices. This article develops a scholarly vocabulary to describe media capture from the perspective of local journalists and from the academic literature on media and power in Hong Kong and China since 1997.

    Complaints Dealt with by the Communications Authority (“CA”) (Released on 15 December 2020)

    Complaints dealt with by the Communications Authority (“CA”) (released on 15 December 2020) The CA considered the following cases which had been deliberated by the Broadcast Complaints Committee (“BCC”) – Complaint Cases 1. Television Programme “Another Hong Kong” (另一個香港) broadcast by Television Broadcasts Limited (“TVB”), PCCW Media Limited (“now TV”), Hong Kong Cable Television Limited (“HKCTV”) and Radio Television Hong Kong (“RTHK”) 2. Radio Programmes “Weekend Lucky Star” (潮爆開運王) broadcast by Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Company Limited (“CRHK”) The CA also considered cases of dissatisfaction with the decisions of the Director-General of Communications (“DG Com”) on complaint cases. Having considered the recommendations of the BCC, the CA decided– 1. that the complaints against the television programme “Another Hong Kong” (另 一個香港) were unsubstantiated. Nevertheless, there is scope to improve identification of the source of acquired/relayed factual programmes on controversial issues of public importance in Hong Kong to help viewers in making decisions in their choice of programmes and in forming their expectations and judgements. The CA suggested that TVB could inform viewers of the existence of other parts of such programmes which were not broadcast on its service, and that now TV and HKCTV should provide sufficient information about the source of such programmes in a prominent manner prior to their broadcast; 2. that strong advice should be given to CRHK on the complaint against the radio programmes “Weekend Lucky Star” (潮爆開運王); and 3. to uphold the decisions of the DG Com on two cases of dissatisfaction with the decisions of the DG Com. The list of the cases is available in the Appendix.

    Freedom of Expression

    1 II. Human Rights FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION International Standards on Freedom of Expression The Chinese government and Communist Party continued to re- strict expression in contravention of international human rights standards, including Article 19 of the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.1 According to the ICCPR—which China signed 2 but has not ratified 3—and as reiterated in 2011 by the Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression, countries may impose certain restrictions or limitations on freedom of expression, if such restrictions are provided by law and are necessary for the purpose of respecting the ‘‘rights or reputations of others’’ or protecting na- tional security, public order, public health, or morals.4 An October 2009 UN Human Rights Council resolution declared restrictions on the ‘‘discussion of government policies and political debate,’’ ‘‘peace- ful demonstrations or political activities, including for peace or de- mocracy,’’ and ‘‘expression of opinion and dissent’’ are inconsistent with Article 19(3) of the ICCPR.5 The UN Human Rights Com- mittee specified in a 2011 General Comment that restrictions on freedom of expression specified in Article 19(3) should be inter- preted narrowly and that the restrictions ‘‘may not put in jeopardy the right itself.’’ 6 Reinforcing Party Control Over the Media INSTITUTIONAL RESTRUCTURING OF PARTY AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES In March 2018, the Chinese

Belan Baker & McKenzie LLP 815 Connecticut Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20006-4078 Re: Qbligation of CGTN America to Register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act DearMr. Belan: Based upon a review of yourletters of February 26, April 9, June 15, July 19, and July 31, 2018, including documents attached thereto; our meetings on February 27 and July 13, 2018; and open source information, including CGTN America’s own broadcasts, we have determined that CGTN America, the Washington, D.C., bureau of the China Global Television Network (‘CGTN”), has an obligation to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended, 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq. “FARA”or the “Act”). CGTN America’s obligation arises from its political activities and its actions as a publicity agent and information-service employee in the United States for the Chinese government, Chinese Communist Party, China Media Group, and its predecessor CCTV, each of which constitutes a foreign principal underthe Act. FARA The purpose of FARA is to inform the American public of the activities of agents working for foreign principals to influence U.S. Governmentofficials or the American public with reference to the domestic or foreign policies of the United States, or with reference to the political or public interests, policies, or relations of a foreign country or a foreign political party. The term“foreign principal” includes “a governmentof a foreign country” and “a partnership, association, corporation, organization, or other combination of persons organized underthe lawsofor having its principal place of business in a foreign country.” 22 U.S.C.

At least one KJ-500 airborne early warning and control (AEWC) aircraft and an undisclosed number of J-11 FLANKER-L jet fighters participated in the mission, and at one point crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which prompted a scramble by Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) F-16 fighters in response ( Focus Taiwan, March 17; Taipei Times, March 18). Although the nature of the mission was unusual—this marked the first time that PLA aircraft flew in the vicinity of Taiwan at night—the incident was otherwise consistent with a pattern of increasingly provocative naval and military aviation operations conducted in the vicinity of Taiwan by PLA units in the first quarter of 2020.
