South China Morning Post (SCMP) stand in Hong Kong over 100 years and it is the most influence English newspaper in Hong Kong. SCMP agreed selling their company to Chinese coporation "Alibaba."The PRC initialized force step-in into Hong Kong journalism and media industry via investment by Chinese TechNet holding. SCMP is the leading English newspaper, and it has been standing over hundred years in Hong Kong. The story illustrates Chinese Communist Party has been being invasion into Hong Kong’s media; it helps PRC to limit Hong Kong free of the press obviously. Media industries are started concerning Mainland business owners may be under pressure from the Chinese government to restrict press coverage and they will follow the instructions of the Communist Party propaganda agencies. However, PRC looks at the point of Economy freedom and it seems an investment. But, their primary target is confined press coverage. Ultimately, Hong Kong people are increasingly concerned that the Chinese Calvin/3 government has asked companies and advertisers to abolish support for communist hostile publications. Hong Kong accepts any investment and legal trading, but we don’t take investment and trading for political reasons as it hurts Hong Kong’s value. I recognize a sentence from Alibaba’s CEO, Jack Ma says, “when the problem comes up, China always could not help, but they choose to take control.”
