Almost half of Hong Kong-based journalists polled, roughly 46%, said they were considering leaving the city due to a decline in press freedom under a Beijing-drafted security law.

A press freedom survey published Friday by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong, painted a dire picture of the former British colony’s media landscape since China imposed the broadly written national security law in June 2020.

An overwhelming 84% of journalists said working conditions in the Asian financial hub had declined under the law, with 56% saying they’d engaged in self-censorship since its passage. Only half said they understood where the government’s red lines were.
