【強摘自由蘋果顯露極權本性】
當有些媒體失能並且自我審查以討好極權政府時，蘋果日報始終跟爭取民主自由的香港人民站在一起。然而在金流被斷、高層被捕之後，蘋果日報被迫停運，外交部吳部長表示，蘋果日報和香港的新聞自由已成為極權主義與《港版國安法》的另一受害者。
外交部多次公開呼籲 #全球應持續關注中國對香港新聞自由的影響。蘋果被取下之後，更讓人看清極權的真面目。如同吳部長所說的，#姑息無用 ，熱愛自由的人們應該相互扶持，更應團結起來捍衛自由、民主與人權的普世價值。
MOFA Minister Joseph Wu has consistently expressed his concerns that the vague and arbitrary language of the national security law introduced in #HongKong posed a threat to #FreedomOfThePress and #RuleOfLaw in the special administrative region.
Unfortunately, over the last week, his concerns have been shown to be well-founded, with the arrest of #AppleDaily executives and financial pressure levied on the organization, forcing it to close its doors, leaving the media landscape of Hong Kong bereft of a voice that spoke with integrity.
It’s now that we should keep in mind Minister Wu’s warning, that Hong Kong is just the beginning and every country around the world should be wary of the pernicious influence of China’s expanding authoritarianism. Plucking the apple reveals the authoritarianism lying beneath. As Minister Wu has said "Appeasement is getting us nowhere."
