<p>We are following this issue closely along with EU partners. The UK takes seriously
any threats to press freedom. We monitor this constantly including through the Foreign
Secretary’s Six-Monthly Reports to Parliament. We have welcomed previous statements
that the Hong Kong SAR Government remains committed to protecting the freedom of the
press. We hope they and the Chinese authorities will also continue to make every effort
to ensure that the environment in which the media, and publishers operate in the Hong
Kong SAR is conducive to full and frank reporting.</p>
