As the Chinese government moves to snuff out the city\u0027s protest movement, it\u0027s now tapping tycoons like Li Ka\u002Dshing and Raymond Kwok to promote its agenda

Xi Jinping, China’s president, right, greets billionaire Li Ka-shing, chairman of CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. and Cheung Kong Property Holdings Ltd., left, as Lui Che Woo, chairman and founder of Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd., second left, looks on ahead of a photo session at a meeting in Hong Kong, China, on Friday, June 30, 2017.

The long-term risk is that Hong Kong’s historically freewheeling media and publishing scene — part of what underpins the city’s status as an international financial center — will increasingly resemble that of heavily censored China, according to Steve Tsang, director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London.Article content continued

Lee Cho Jat, an honorary chairman of Sino United, said in a 2018 interview with Radio Television Hong Kong that there are no political motives behind its operations. Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam has said that the city’s freedom of speech, press and publication will be maintained, and that the Liaison Office’s work shouldn’t be interfered with as long as it’s law-abiding.The Liaison Office has never publicly disclosed its business interests.

The Liaison Office’s Hong Kong media outlets have published articles and commentaries slamming the pro-democracy movement and attacking Beijing’s critics. Some of the news stories have included statements from Luo Huining, who became the Liaison Office’s director in January and is the Chinese official tasked with advising Lam on national security.

CCPChina have always tried every means to suppress any dissent, just like what they did to the Uyghurs, they have been using wolf diplomacy to the outside world, and for the inside of the wall, they have been using high pressure and violence to suppress all citizens.
