Hong Kong locals are voicing their concerns after a local franchise of the popular convenience store chain 7-Eleven decided to withdraw The Epoch Times’ Hong Kong edition from its local stores beginning on Aug. 16.

7-Eleven licenses franchises around the world via partnerships with local brands. The Hong Kong franchise has no relation to the U.S.-headquartered company.
