The Hong Kong national security office legally summons some foreign news agency leaders and journalists stationed in Hong Kong for questioning.

On December 6th, the National Security Office in Hong Kong, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Hong Kong National Security Law, conducted talks with some foreign news agency heads and reporters in Hong Kong regarding the recent false information and sensationalism surrounding the Amoy Gardens fire and the Hong Kong Legislative Council elections. The Office believes that after the Amoy Gardens fire, there was a united effort from the central government to the local government, from officials to civilians, from Hong Kong to mainland China, in disaster relief and rescue. The international community expressed condolences and concern, and the media closely followed and objectively reported on the situation. The Office pointed out that some foreign media have recently reported on Hong Kong in disregard of facts, spreading false information, distorting and smearing the government's disaster relief and post-disaster efforts, attacking and interfering with the Legislative Council elections, sowing division and opposition in society, which has damaged the current atmosphere of unity in Hong Kong and undermined the feelings of Hong Kong citizens, misled the international community's understanding. The Office expressed serious concerns about this. The Office emphasized that "freedom of the press" and compliance with the law are not contradictory, and no media outlet should interfere in China's internal affairs or interfere in Hong Kong affairs in the name of "press freedom". All foreign news agency heads and reporters in Hong Kong have the obligation to abide by the law, must comply with the Basic Law of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong National Security Law, and the Hong Kong National Security Regulations, strictly follow the relevant regulations on news reporting in the SAR, strictly adhere to the professional ethics of journalism, adhere to the principles of truthfulness, accuracy, and objectivity in reporting, and must not fabricate or spread false information. The Office expressed hope that foreign news agency reporters in Hong Kong can uphold their professional ethics, report objectively and fairly, strictly comply with relevant legal requirements, take good care of themselves, and not cross the legal red line.
