A Hong Kong court has ordered the defunct Apple Daily newspaper to pay HK$1.5 million in damages. The ruling stems from 10 articles published in 2019 that accused China Innovation Investment Limited and its executives, Xiang Xin and Kung Ching, of spying on pro-democracy activists on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. The judge found the articles defamatory and noted that Apple Daily failed to prove its allegations or allow the accused to respond before publication. AI
