Hong Kong warns Wall Street Journal of legal action over election editorial
CNN
Hong Kong has warned the Wall Street Journal that it may have broken electoral law by "scaremongering" in a recent editorial about the upcoming vote for the city's legislative council.
On Monday, the US newspaper printed a letter from Hong Kong's Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Erick Tsang, under the headline "Hong Kong Issues a Threat to the WSJ." In it, Tsang took issue with the editorial, saying it contained "baseless assumptions," and was "not only incorrect but also scaremongering."
In the editorial published on November 29, the Journal described the city's upcoming elections as a "sham," and that "boycotts and blank ballots are one of the last ways for Hong Kongers to express their political views."
