Local and international media coverage of Ho Chi Minh's arrest and trial was significant. From a modern media studies perspective, we see in this chapter two processes at work: one exposure and the other censorship (especially when it came to Chinese media). But in the absence of court transcripts, either discarded or lost during the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong, local English-language newspaper accounts serve as surrogate accounts of the sometimes terse and esoteric legal arguments presented across nine sessions of Hong Kong's Supreme Court. While such media reports have long been available, they have not hitherto been presented in print in such analytical narrative detail.
