Your correspondent Martin Clinch (“Hong Kong media will have itself to blame for fake news law”, February 10) has an apt neutral stance; his objective perspective differs from the foreign media broadcasting a biased and distorted view of Hong Kong’s civil unrest.
How many articles disclosed that nearly 3 million Hongkongers signed in support of the national security law, to free the city from the vandalism and unrest perpetrated by the so-called democratic protesters? The protesters jeopardised the exercise of democratic rights by the majority of Hongkongers, while spouting twisted logic and exaggerating police actions as violating human rights.
These distant reporters are intentional troublemakers who would receive heaven’s vengeance. A Chinese idiom says there is a ruler in everyone’s heart: people know well who the troublemakers really are, and they will avoid them.

That is exactly what is happening in Hong Kong, manifesting the collapse of the so-called democratic camp, who are guilty of misrepresenting democracy. There is virtually no credibility for their espoused form of democracy.
