Article Abstract:

Public broadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong continues to operate despite the uncertainty it faces after the handover of Hong Kong from the British rule to the Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. The radio station serves as a venue for the people in Hong Kong to discuss some issues and share political and economic views and opinion. The handover means that its $55.7 million yearly budget must pass through the legislature, and it will be directly under the control of China.
