It is reported that six former staffers of the now-defunct Hong Kong newspaper, Apple Daily, have pleaded guilty to colluding with “foreign forces” to undermine China’s national security during the 2019 anti-Beijing protests that swept through the financial nerve centre. The former executives, who worked for the newspaper Apple Daily, were arrested last year after Beijing imposed the tough National Security Law to curb anti-national sentiments in China’s self-governing territory.
