HONG KONG, June 24 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called the closure of Hong Kong's Apple Daily tabloid a "sad day for media freedom" and said it signaled "intensifying repression" by China, while vowing to maintain support for the people of the Chinese-ruled territory. In a statement following the news outlet's closure earlier on Thursday, Biden called on Beijing to stop targeting the independent press and release detained journalists and media executives. "People in Hong Kong have the right to freedom of the press. Instead, Beijing is denying basic liberties and assaulting Hong Kong’s autonomy and democratic institutions and processes, inconsistent with its international obligations," he said. "Through arrests, threats, and forcing through a National Security Law that penalizes free speech, Beijing has insisted on wielding its power to suppress independent media and silence dissenting views," he said. BIDEN VOWS SUPPORT Biden vowed that the United States "will not waver in our support of people in Hong Kong and all those who stand up for the basic freedoms all people deserve." 喜闻乐见tg终于不再挂羊头卖狗肉,大家都以真面目示人最好。

如果传说苹果日报去年编造故事攻击拜登家族的故事是真，拜登还真有气度，要比大陆习某人因为地摊文学而掀翻一个国际大都市好得太多，一天一地。
