Security authorities in Hong Kong are paying closer attention to foreign media reports on last month's fatal fire at high-rise apartment buildings.
The Office for Safeguarding National Security announced on Saturday that the office had summoned executives and journalists from foreign news organizations based in Hong Kong for talks.
The office said that the measure was taken in accordance with the National Security Law for Hong Kong. The law is designed to crack down on anti-government activity in the territory.
It accused some foreign media outlets of ignoring facts, spreading false information and seeking to incite social division. The office said that it "will closely monitor relevant media coverage."
The security office was set up in Hong Kong by the mainland government to oversee and guide the territory's government based on Hong Kong's National Security Law that went into effect five years ago.
It was rare for the office to announce the summoning of foreign media journalists.
The move is believed to reflect the authorities' nervousness toward media reports critical of them amid calls to pursue their accountability for the fatal fire.
The action also comes amid Hong Kong's Legislative Council election which kicked off on Sunday.
