Beijing security agency accuses international journalists of disregarding facts and smearing government

Beijing’s security agency in Hong Kong has summoned international journalists to inform them it will not tolerate “trouble-making”, following critical coverage of the deadly apartment complex fire that has left the territory reeling.

Senior reporters from several media outlets operating in the city were called to the Office for Safeguarding National Security (OSNS), which was set up by Beijing in 2020.
