China's foreign ministry on Thursday said it supports the Hong Kong government in strengthening the management of media in the territory, following a move by Hong Kong police to narrow the definition of "media representatives". Foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin made the comment at a news briefing in Beijing.
The Hong Kong new media rules exclude recognition of press passes issued by local media associations including the HKJA and Hong Kong Press Photographers Association (HKPPA).
