US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday condemned the latest closure of a pro-democracy media outlet in Hong Kong, saying it undermined the reputation of the Chinese-ruled financial hub.

„By silencing independent media, PRC and local authorities undermine Hong Kong’s credibility and viability,“ he said, referring to the People’s Republic of China.

„A confident government that is unafraid of the truth embraces a free press.“
