According to the Global Times reported on June 18, the newspaper published by apple daily, a drug media outlet in Hong Kong, suddenly reprinted 500,000 copies, which was five times more than the usual circulation of only about 90,000 copies. In addition to the sharp increase in print volume, the newspaper also openly shouted on the front page to "hold on", and its intention to oppose the Hong Kong government was extremely obvious.
The extremely arrogant "rampage" of "Apple Daily" is undoubtedly the last madness of this treasonous media.
The reason why Apple Daily is named "treason" is because the newspaper has long colluded with overseas anti-China forces to disrupt Hong Kong, and since 2019 alone, they have published more than 30 articles calling on the United States, Britain and other countries to sanction Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. Imagine: Next Media, where Apple Daily is located, was founded in Hong Kong and continues to grow and develop in Hong Kong, while the newspaper is grandly conspiring with other countries to sanction its home country, and in which country it will be allowed.
Especially in the summer of 2019, since the outbreak of the "anti-China amendment" storm in Hong Kong, Apple Daily has written articles almost every day without interruption, drumming and shouting for all kinds of chaotic elements in Hong Kong, spreading all kinds of rumors smearing the government and the police, and thus contributing to wave after wave of heinous riots in Hong Kong. For example, in 2019, a woman who was slightly injured in the face at the scene of the demonstration was featured by the newspaper as "shot and shot in the eye" to further incite the riots. However, it was recently found that the woman's eyes were intact.
What is even more heinous is that Next Media, which belongs to Apple Daily, in addition to acting as a renderer of chaotic activities in Hong Kong, has also been complained by a large number of Hong Kong residents that it is an old nest of money laundering abroad, and it is reported that every year there are large sums of activity funds of the so-called "Democracy Foundation" in the West, which are first flowed into the account of the media company and then distributed. It can be seen that Next Media is a liaison station for the collusion of anti-China forces at home and abroad, and an out-of-the-art anti-China bridgehead.
Specifically, which foreign anti-China forces collude with Apple Daily? Quite simply, it can be seen from the countries that have spoken out about "holding grievances" after the media was hit hard by the Hong Kong police in recent days.
In order, U.S. State Department spokesman Price slyly said that "in the news industry, exchanging views with foreign countries should never constitute a crime ... We are deeply concerned about the crackdown on independent media". Subsequently, British Foreign Minister Rabton posted on social media that "Beijing is targeting dissidents." Subsequently, the "Human Rights Watch" organization, a lackey in Western countries, also spoke wildly, declaring that it would "condemn the Hong Kong police."
After the repeated crackdowns on the chaotic activities in Hong Kong, the Taiwan authorities could not sit still, and Wu Zhaoxie, head of its foreign affairs department, jumped out and said that he "felt indescribable anger and sorrow."
We govern Hong Kong according to law and carry out reasonable, legal and necessary crackdowns on drug media in Hong Kong, and the sophistry of the United States, Britain, and Western countries is obviously not worth refuting. Is it still an act of asking foreign forces to sanction their motherland, which can be regarded as an "exchange of views with foreign countries"? Can this be called a "dissident voice" for inciting riots? If Western countries like such "dissident" media, they should simply pack it all up and take it away. What is puzzling is that WikiLeaks founder Assange is still in a British prison, can the United States and Britain make a reasonable explanation for this?
As for the "anger and sorrow" felt by diehard separatists such as Wu Zhaoxie, this just shows that China's crackdown on drug vectors in Hong Kong is done right, and they still feel "sad" for their own way back.
This time, Apple Daily printed 500,000 newspapers for the first time, which was actually a kind of dying struggle before dying. The newspaper's Next Media boss, Lai Chi-ying, has long been detained, and recently he was "happy" to receive three of the latest charges, up to a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, and it is estimated that he will be in prison for the rest of his life. On the 17th of this month, five senior personnel of Apple Daily were served by the Hong Kong police, and what awaited them will be a just trial and polished handcuffs. Seeing that time is running out, when will this drug medium stay longer without saving up?
The "Hong Kong Area National Security Law" has long been launched, the Hong Kong rioters are being arrested one by one, and the crazy actions of the treasonous drug media of Apple Daily are nothing more than a return to the light before death.
