A Hong Kong polling group said it will 'change with the times' and cease publishing public opinion responses to topics such as the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown and Taiwan's independence.

Last month the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute—one of the city's few independent pollsters—canceled the release of Tiananmen-related survey results following "suggestions" from an unspecified government department. "We did not consult the government... but we were aware of the so-called risk assessment made by some government departments in the past," Chung told AFP, referring to when the release of the Tiananmen survey had to be canceled due to the government's "risk assessment."
First established as a university program in 1991, the Institute started polling in the final years of British colonial rule before the city was handed over to China in 1997.
