Commercial Radio Hong Kong on 1 June 2004. On 12 February 2014, CRHK announced immediate termination of the employment contract with Li. CRHK refused to comment on the termination of contract. Li's office was forcibly cleared. During Li's hosting of talk radio on CRHK, her opinion always directed against the Hong Kong Government and the mainland China. While she was supported by the Hong Kong
pan-democracy camp, her talk show was criticized by
pro-establishment camp as "inadequate neutrality" and "extreme" opinion. On 13 February 2014, Li held a press conference telling her own feeling and claiming "the suppression of
freedom of the press and
freedom of speech by the
CY Leung administration" was behind her dismissal. While
AFP was reporting the
Committee to Protect Journalists report about the deterioration of the freedom of the press in Hong Kong, Li's dismissal was used as an example to confirm the concern about the status of the press freedom. == List of talk shows ==
