Hong Kong's freedom index score slumps amid Beijing intervention

Hong Kong saw a decline in its score from last year in the 2017 report amid China's actions such as reinterpreting the Basic Law, says an NGO
Freedom of expression is a universal value, and China's practices show that "trying to muzzle the voice of the people is like stopping the flow of a river." The CCP wants to build a society that is "one world with one voice." The Chinese people must call for comprehensive constitutional reform to allow broadcast media to expand and prevent monopoly of the media, the Internet and all other communication channels.
