HONG KONG -- Hong Kongers who in recent days have rallied to support Apple Daily by buying extra copies as well as stock in its parent company are also stepping in with another lifeline for the embattled newspaper: advertising orders.
"We just want to keep Hong Kong's freedom," said hair salon owner Holas Cheung, who contributed to the purchase of a half-page ad in last Friday's edition of Apple Daily by more than 100 salons and stylists. "If we don't do it now, Hong Kong will be game over."
