"Radio Free Asia Shuts Hong Kong Bureau Over Security Law Concerns"

Radio Free Asia, a U.S.-funded news service, has closed its office in Hong Kong due to concerns about the city's national security law targeting "foreign interference." The law's vague definition of external interference raised serious questions about the broadcaster's ability to operate safely, prompting the relocation of some employees to Taiwan, the U.S., or elsewhere and the layoff of others. Critics argue that the law significantly raises risks for journalists operating in the city by broadly applying the definition of external interference to regular journalistic work.
