Is FCC becoming MCC?

CY has issued an open letter to FCC telling them where the bottom line is regarding their invitation to Chan Ho Tin to speak about HK independence at their premises.
Well! Let’s see how it goes and hope that FCC will know their place and not to be so mong cha cha!

香港外國記者會邀請民族黨陳浩天講話，以下是梁振英在FB的回應：

【An Open Letter to Mr. Victor Mallett】

First Vice President
Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club

4 August 2018

Dear Mr. Mallett,

In response to my post today, reportedly you said the following:

“the value of the organisation, including that of Hong Kong, centred on a system that differed from the Mainland’s…… press freedom was endorsed locally and views from people across the political spectrum were permitted.”

We ought to be gravely concerned if this is the policy of your Club because before long you will invite advocates for Taiwan independence to speak publicly at your Club. Presumably then you will defend your decision by also arguing that those who oppose Taiwan independence would be given equal opportunity to present their views. Following this logic, you most probably will not draw any line against criminals and terrorists. As I said, we ought to be gravely concerned.

This matter of inviting Andy Chan Ho-tin to speak at the Club has nothing to do with press freedom. Press freedom is a core value that Hong Kong treasures so much, so that the Government of Hong Kong leased to the Club at a token rent the building on Ice House Street in Central. Not many organisations in Hong Kong have received from the Government this kind of support. Ironically, I presume these premises will be exactly where Andy Chan has been invited to present his case for Hong Kong independence.

Yours sincerely
CY Leung
