The Washington Times this morning reported that the long arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) extends even to journalists in Hong Kong. The Times writes that two talk show hosts known for questioning the mainland government have resigned their positions and that one of them has left Hong Kong. Their actions result from death threats and attempted bribery by CCP sympathisers in Hong Kong and China. Shameful and predictable behavior from a government and political party comprised of thugs and bullies.
