彭博駐港記者續簽被拒 外國記者會稱加劇對香港新聞自由擔憂
Hong Kong’s immigration authorities have again refused to issue a work visa to a foreign journalist.
The latest journalist involved is Bloomberg News reporter Rebecca Choong Wilkins, who has been based in Hong Kong for six years and is currently on maternity leave.
The Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong, issued a statement last Friday (22 August) announcing the matter. It said the authorities had provided no reason for refusing to renew her visa, exacerbating concerns over the erosion of press freedom in Hong Kong.
A Bloomberg News spokesperson told BBC Chinese that the company could not comment on individual cases, but said it would fully support Choong Wilkins and continue to address the matter through appropriate channels.
香港入境部門再次拒絕為外國記者發放工作簽證。
最新的一位涉事人為彭博新聞（Bloomberg）記者鍾碧琪（Rebecca Choong Wilkins），她已駐港6年，目前正放產假。
上周五，香港外國記者會（FCC）率先於（8月22日）發聲明公佈消息，指當局並未就其拒絕簽證續簽提供任何理由，加劇對香港新聞自由受侵蝕的擔憂。
彭博新聞發言人向BBC中文表示，不能評論個別情況，但指會全力支持鍾碧琪，並繼續透過適當渠道解決事件。

彭博指外企憂系統被檢取或植入程式 港府：斷章取義偏頗報道
Bloomberg News reported yesterday that several major US technology companies had criticised the Hong Kong government’s proposed legislative framework to “enhance the protection of the security of computer systems of critical infrastructure.” The report also quoted the American Chamber of Commerce as warning that the legislation might authorise law enforcement officers to seize critical computer system equipment from private companies and implant certain software in their systems. The Hong Kong government issued a press release late at night rejecting the claims, saying Bloomberg had reported on parts of the submissions in a “biased manner” and taken them out of context.
《彭博》新聞昨日報導指，多間美國科技巨企批評港府早前提出的「加強保護關鍵基礎設施電腦系統安全」建議立法框架，報導又引述美國商會警告立法或授權執法人員檢走私人企業的關鍵電腦系統設備，和在系統植入某些程式。港府在深夜發新聞稿反駁，指《彭博》對部分意見書作出「偏頗報道，斷章取義」。

被指危害國家安全的《彭博》記者范若依（Haze Fan）申請工作簽證被拒
Hong Kong’s immigration arrangements and press freedom have again sparked controversy. According to HKFP, Bloomberg journalist Haze Fan, who was arrested in Beijing and accused of endangering national security, applied for a work visa to work at Bloomberg’s Hong Kong bureau, but the Hong Kong government rejected the application. She was ultimately assigned to work at the company’s European headquarters in London.

23條立法｜政府譴責彭博誤報禁Telegram及Signal 彭博承認出錯並修正
A Bloomberg spokesperson told this newspaper tonight that the company had published two headlines today that mistakenly presented members of the public’s views as proposals by the Hong Kong government on Article 23 of the Basic Law. The spokesperson said the headlines were incorrectly published and had been corrected within 10 minutes of their initial publication.
The HKSAR Government submitted details of the results of the consultation on legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law to the Legislative Council. The document listed a number of “other views” received during the consultation, including suggestions that “websites such as Facebook and YouTube be withdrawn from the Hong Kong market”, as well as a proposal to ban the messaging applications Telegram and Signal from operating in Hong Kong. Bloomberg at one point used the headline “Hong Kong Article 23 legislation proposals advocate banning Telegram”. The Government issued a press release in the evening expressing strong dissatisfaction with and condemning Bloomberg, and solemnly stated that it had not proposed banning any social media, video-sharing or streaming platform from operating in Hong Kong.
《彭博》發言人今晚回應本報，指公司今日刊出兩則標題，誤將公眾的意見當作港府就《基本法》23條的建議，指有關標題是錯誤發布，已在首次發布後10分鐘內更正。
特區政府向立法會提交《基本法》23條立法的諮詢結果詳情，載列不少諮詢期間收到的「其他意見」，例如有人建議「將Facebook、YouTube等網站撤出香港市場」，亦有人提出禁止通訊軟件Telegram及Signal在港運作。彭博一度以「香港23條立法建議倡禁Telegram」為報道標題。政府傍晚發新聞稿，向彭博表達強烈不滿和譴責，並嚴正聲明特區政府並無建議禁止任何社交媒體、影片分享平台或串流平台在香港運作。
