Mr. Li Xie, Deputy Controller of SHENZHEN MEDIA GROUP, said that Hong Kong television industry is a commercial industry, it is a capital market investment, their income is from the advertising and the numbers of the audiences in pay TV.

However, the television industry in mainland China is a tool of the governing party, to express their opinion to the public, and their expense is from the government.

TV news in Hong Kong is different from that in China, it is more interesting and special as Hong Kong TV new use drama style to pack the news. Li said that, in the 21 century of Hong Kong, drama and Cantonese pop music has been a main cultural of TV. He worried TV news has being marginalization.

China is and individual system, it is unnecessary to compare with USA. He claimed that, there is no absolutely freedom in the world, even in Hong Kong, it is more concern on the commercial benefit.

Media in Hong Kong has authority to supervise the society, but it is different in China. Moreover, media in China is concern the social responsibility, but for Hong Kong, it concerns the freedom of news more. Li also believed that, news in China is moving forward, and its way is right.
