What do Hong Kongers care about?Posted by Banyue on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at 5:34 PM
 Hong Kong Commercial Daily October 16, 2007 The Hong Kong Commercial Daily (HKCD) is a business-oriented newspaper published in both Hong Kong and mainland China. The nameplate notes that it has special permission from the Chinese government to circulate on the mainland, and according to the About page on the paper's website, it is the only Hong Kong newspaper granted such freedom. The top headline of today's HKCD reads: "The motherland will always be the strong support behind Hong Kong and Macau; President Hu says no to any external interference!" For a second day, all newspapers across the country have nothing but photos of the Great Hall of People and President Hu on the front page. This is one of the only papers with a distinctive layout and unique articles rather than cookie-cutter photos and Xinhua wire reports. Other headlines:
At the bottom of the front page, there is an opinion piece about how bright the future of Hong Kong is with the support of mainland China. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

I'm not sure, but I think that Kong Pao Bao is also available on the mainland....
Come on. Hong Kong Commercial Daily is owned by Shenzhen newspaper group. That's the only reason.
