The Apple Daily stopped operating at midnight and published the last newspaper on the 24th.

　　On the afternoon of 23rd, the board of directors of Hong Kong One Media Co., Ltd. announced that it had decided to stop its operation immediately after midnight today. The last issue of the printed Apple Daily will be published tomorrow, and the news website of Apple Mobile will stop updating after midnight.

　　It is understood that the National Security Department of the Hong Kong police arrested five senior executives of One Media on the 17th, accusing them of conspiring to collude with foreign forces by publishing dozens of articles in Apple Daily, allegedly violating the National Security Law of Hong Kong. At the same time, the Hong Kong Security Bureau froze the assets of three companies related to Apple Daily totaling 18 million Hong Kong dollars. On the 18th, Jianhong Zhang, CEO of Media Group, and Luo Weiguang, editor-in-chief of Apple Daily, were formally charged by the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police for conspiring to "collude with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security" in violation of Article 29 of the Hong Kong National Security Law.

　　Li Zhiying, the boss of Apple Daily, turned it from a media into a political organization, and finally turned it into a subversive organization in the "case-amending storm" in 2019. "This kind of fate has long been doomed."

　　Regarding the news that the Hong Kong Security Bureau has frozen the assets of three companies related to Apple Daily, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, told reporters on the 22nd that the case has entered the judicial process. She stressed that the first anniversary of the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law is just around the corner, and the Hong Kong SAR Government must seriously implement it, and the law cannot be made useless. She said that Hong Kong’s national security laws must be applied, enforced strictly, and violators must be prosecuted. (Headquarters reporter Zhou Weiqi Jin Dong)
