HONG KONG -- Hong Kong refused entry to a Financial Times editorĀ on Thursday after denying him an extension to his work visa back in October.
Victor Mallet, the FT's Asia news editor seeking entrance as a visitor, was turned away at the border after several hours of questioning. The Hong Kong government has not explained why, but it was likely motivated by a speech by an independence activist at the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club, where Mallet was acting president at the time.
