Statement from The Economist's Editor-in-Chief

“The Hong Kong immigration authorities have declined to renew the employment visa of our correspondent, Sue-Lin Wong. We regret their decision, which was given without explanation. Sue-Lin is not currently in Hong Kong. We are proud of Sue-Lin's journalism. We urge the government of Hong Kong to maintain access for the foreign press, which is vital to the territory’s standing as an international city.”
