Correspondent of Central News Agency in Hong Kong Bureau, Stanley Cheung said, result of the coming presidential election will control the freedom of press in the next four influential years.

CNA is a government agency to distribute news, and it is always under censorship. It varies from time to time, depends on the political stance of the ruling party. ‘The freedom of reporting will be extended along with Ma Ying-jeou victory, as Kuomintang has a more opened political view than Democratic Progressive Party‘, Cheung expected.

Not until 90s, CNA has biased reporting on China news, they had tried to magnify every pieces of negative news about Community Party of China. ‘Up til now, we have to be very careful when reporting sensitive political news between the two coasts, otherwise warnings would be received immediately’, he added.
