   Hong Kong (CNN Business)The New York Times is moving some staff   
   out of Hong Kong due to a new security law imposed by China on   
   the city, as both foreign and local media face increased   
   uncertainty in the Asian financial hub.   
      
   Some Times employees in Hong Kong "have faced challenges   
   securing work permits," the paper reported Tuesday in an article   
   detailing the decision to move some staff to Seoul, South Korea.   
   "With the city facing a new era under tightened Chinese rule,   
   Times editors determined they needed an additional base of   
   operations in the region."   
   The move was announced as Hong Kong lost its special trading   
   status with the United States, after Washington deemed the city   
   to be no longer sufficiently autonomous from China due to the   
   new security law.   
      
   In announcing that it would move its Asia digital news operation   
   — roughly one third of its staff in Hong Kong — to Seoul, the   
   Times said the security law meant it was "prudent to make   
   contingency plans and begin to diversify our editing staff   
   around the region."
