Wen Wei Po, a CCP mouthpiece in Hong Kong, published on July 10 an interview with Tse Chin-wan, Secretary for Environment and Ecology, in which Tse talked about a “national security loophole” and accused unnamed local environmental groups of “disregarding the law” in the past and they may have used funds for causes disapproved of by the government.
According to Tse, “environmental protection” issues seem to be everyone’s concern but can be “very subjective” and tend to always call for “endless pursuits.” In his view, such topics can easily be “hyped” or “even used as anti-government excuses.”
