RTHK has long faced criticism from pro-establishment figures over it's news reporting since the handover. RTHK had originally wanted to be like the BBC, publicly funded but with an independent editorial policy. But under heavy criticism from the pro-establishment, RTHK has already been neutered to a large extent and is actually really mild in trying to avoid offending any side. But apparently that is not good enough, the pro-establishment wants RTHK to be like the CCTV, simply a propaganda tool of the government. The HK government can indeed do that, but don't expect RTHK to have any credibility with the people in that case.
