Question: What limits does Hong Kong place on its media?
About the article "Hong Kong", section "Culture".

Candidate passages:
Taikoo Dockyard and Engineering Company (Chinese: 太古船塢) was a dockyard in what is now Taikoo Shing, MTR Tai Koo Station and part of Taikoo Place of Quarry Bay on the Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. 
Supporters of the legislation, the most vocal of which is perhaps Hong Kong's Secretary for Security Regina Ip, who viewed the introduction of the law as being quite ordinary and natural: "Firstly, all countries have laws to protect national security but, in Hong Kong, the Mainland's national laws on this subject do not apply.
It has been left up to the Hong Kong SAR Government to enact laws 'on its own'.
This in itself shows a great measure of trust in Hong Kong people by the Central Government authorities.
We are not introducing Mainland law into Hong Kong.
We are developing our own approach.
Can you imagine California or Connecticut enacting their own laws against treasonous acts or foreign organizations bent on the overthrow of the US Government?"
"Secondly, we have a constitutional and legal obligation, under our Basic Law, to enact such laws.
By doing so, we fulfil our role to implement One Country, Two Systems.
Five years after Reunification, it is time to move ahead on a matter that is regarded as extremely important by our sovereign.
By doing so, we will remove once and for all the uncertainties that have cropped up from time to time over the past five years as to when, and in what form, Article 23 will be implemented."
"We also have a moral duty, as a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, to protect the security and sovereignty of our country.
Why should Hong Kong people be under any less obligation to do so, or indeed feel uncomfortable in doing so, compared to citizens in other countries?"
Ip has been criticised by the press and religious groups for her zealousness in pursuing the implementation of the legislation.
Ip asserted that because the ordinary people would not "understand the legal language", there was no point in consulting them on it.
Bob Allcock, Hong Kong's Solicitor-General, has been perceived as more even-handed in his approach and has frequently argued that the laws proposed by the government are less restrictive than the colonial era laws that they are intended to replace: "Contrary to what some have alleged, the Bill to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law does not provide for 'secret trials'.
Any criminal prosecution under the proposed new laws would be subject to normal trial procedures.
In addition, if anyone were charged with one of the serious offences against national security, he or she would have the right to trial by jury."
"The proposed new offence of treason will be narrower than the existing offence.
It will therefore impose no new restrictions on freedom of speech.
The only situations in which words could amount to treason under the proposals would be where the words instigate a foreigner to invade the PRC or assist a public enemy at war with the PRC.
For example, if the PRC is at war with a foreign country, and a Hong Kong permanent resident broadcasts propaganda for the enemy, he may be convicted for assisting that enemy."
He has also pointed out that under the new laws, a banned organization can appeal the ban to the judiciary, a right not available under the previous laws.
In response, opponents of the bill including Martin Lee have argued that a potentially repressive bill is more acceptable in a system of parliamentary democracy and that under British rule, the potential impact of security laws was minimized by the fact that political leaders would suffer political damage if they attempted to enforce these laws.
The argument is that in the case where Hong Kong becomes authoritarian, there are fewer restrictions which prevent them drafting bad laws.
In response to the argument that Article 23 legislation is constitutionally required, opponents to the government bill point out that the Basic Law does not set up a specific time for passage of the legislation, and that the Basic Law also constitutionally requires that the HK government work toward a system of universal suffrage.
Opponents argue that because both goals do not have time limits, there is no reason to implement Article 23 legislation before universal suffrage.
Another argument against Article 23 laws as drafted by the HK government has been given by John Kamm, who argues that the mechanism for banning organizations would have the effect of requiring that Mainland China be more repressive outside of Hong Kong.
His argument is that since 1997, Mainland China has not had the legal concept of banning an organization on national security grounds, and that political repression in the PRC takes the form of government criminal charges against individual acts.
He argues that the HK government's draft of Article 23 law requires the PRC to set up a system of banning organizations on national security grounds and this would greatly hurt members of politically sensitive organizations who are not leaders.
He points out that the PRC currently typically imprisons only the leadership of an organization, and merely harasses lower-level members because their behavior does not rise to the level of criminal charges.
By passing Article 23 law, Hong Kong will require the PRC to develop the legal mechanisms to punish all members of a banned political organization, a power it now only has with respect to religious organizations such as Falun gong and students who were involved in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
For example, Macau, which has implemented the Article 23, identical to the article proposed for Hong Kong, in June 2009 refused transit to mainland China by a Tiananmen student leader Wu'er Kaixi.
Finally, at a time when Hong Kong's economy, inextricably linked to its property index, is in the doldrums, and SARS has had a major impact on life in the Special Administrative Region, the government's focus on Article 23 has been perceived as inappropriate, especially since Hong Kong has been a stable place since the 1997 handover from the United Kingdom to the PRC and revision of colonial anti-subversion laws is not required.
Journalists in particular are concerned about the new law, especially with respect to journalistic criticism of the central government of the People's Republic of China and its complex relationship with Taiwan and Tibet, or other matters arising from the possession of official documents.
Outspoken Catholic Bishop Joseph Cardinal Zen has been a key figure in the debate over the legislation: on 15 May 2003 he instructed his church members to resist the introduction of the legislation.
But his speech was criticized by some pro-PRC political commentators in Hong Kong, saying that the Church should not be involved in political matters.
The normally neutral Hong Kong Bar Association, an organisation representing barristers, has also stepped into the fray: Bar Association chairman Alan Leong has publicly said: "The more you read into this document, the more anxious and concerned you get.
There are some glaring ambiguities".
Other organisations which have spoken out against the proposal include the Hong Kong Journalists Association, Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, the Foreign Correspondents' Club and the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong.
Members of the European Parliament, and officials of the United States Department of State, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have expressed concerns about the Article 23 legislation.
Some banks in Hong Kong were reported to be considering relocation if the proposed Article 23 is passed, out of the fear that the laws would restrict the free flow of information.
On 7 December 2002, it was reported in the press that ten foreign banks had told the government privately that the introduction of Article 23 would have disastrous consequences for Hong Kong, threatening its demise as Asia's financial capital.
