I doubt the bureau will ever close so long as foreign press is still allowed to operate there, but I think the days of CNN having multiple anchors presenting several hours of live news from there are never coming back.
They would have to self-censor as anyone not a PR or a national as anyone could have their work visa revoked, not renewed or simply not issued on a whim -- a bit like on the mainland.
Same reason why the intl press in HK are telling their staff not to get involved in leadership positions at the local Foreign Correspondants' Club. One 'wrong' move and they (usually individuals, but as in the mainland, could easily be from an entire outlet or country) could be kicked out.
