ESWN’s got a neat roundup of how Hong Kong Chinese language newspapers covered yesterday’s pro-democracy March and the ten year anniversary of the return of sovereignty to China, each according to its mandate. Brief extract:
Apple Daily (pro-democracy)
Headline: “We will always have you” overlaid on front page consisting entirely of a close up shot of the marching crowd.
The Sun (no, not that one) (pro-Chinese)
Headline: Shenzhen West Corridor Bridge Opens, over picture of a bridge.
HK's biggest seller is the Oriental Daily News. It’s headline
One Country First, Two Systems Later.
I don’t recall that actually being specified as the deal back in 1997. But anyway, that’s you told.
