The Hong Kong Journalists Association has been accused in recent weeks by state-run media outlets in Hong Kong and China of destabilizing the city.
Selina Cheng, the newly elected chair of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, spoke to reporters after her employment contract with the Wall Street Journal was terminated, in Hong Kong on Wednesday. A Hong Kong-based reporter for the Wall Street Journal was terminated by the newspaper soon after she was elected as chair of the Hong Kong Journalists Association.
The day before the HKJA election, Cheng said, her supervisors directed her to withdraw her candidacy and to leave HKJA’s board, of which she has been a member since 2021. She declined their requests. The termination, if linked to Cheng’s position at HKJA, would be the latest indication of how even large, well-resourced international media organizations are wary about the risks of operating in Hong Kong, a once-freewheeling city that has increasingly come to resemble mainland China in its suppression of civil liberties, including press freedom.
In a statement, the HKJA said the Journal is “not alone” in taking this stance and that other elected board members have been “pressured by their employers to stand down.” Previously, the Journal’s management in Hong Kong told one of its now-former reporters, technology reporter Dan Strumpf, not to run for president of the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Hong Kong, citing risks to the company.The HKJA remains a vocal group advocating for journalists in Hong Kong, both local and foreign.
