In February 2021, Chan criticized RTHK, claiming it had been abusing its editorial independence, and that the new director, Patrick Li, could fix its "credibility" issues.[2] In contrast, the RTHK's Programme Staff Union stated that they had serious doubts about Patrick Li, and that the government had made moves to strip editorial independence from RTHK.[3]
