Thanks to the radio, the reporters could hear the police station and be aware of the news at the same time in order to react, and even arrive at the site of the incident before them. This has changed and the journalists only get succinct teleprinters published by the Information Service Department informing of the time and place of the event without any other relevant details.
Generally these teleprinters are published with delay and when Josh arrives with his motorbike it is already too late, the police has already been there and has cleaned the scene before he could do his job. Hong Kong seems to be a safe city, there is almost no talk about violations or assassinations when you could hear about this before on the police radio station.
Powerful.
