From visa denials and online trolling to physical assaults, foreign journalists in China say they are facing 'unprecedented hurdles' covering the world's most populous nation.
The report, which was released Monday, said foreign correspondents are facing"unprecedented hurdles" covering the world's most populous nation. Those hurdles include online trolling, cyber hacking, visa denials and physical assaults.Almost all the foreign journalists surveyed said that reporting conditions in China did not meet what they considered to be international standards.
When asked about an earlier FCCC statement that highlighted harassment of foreign journalists in China, a Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected the allegation and insisted China's reporting environment is"open and free.""As long as foreign journalists abide by the law and do reporting in compliance the law and regulations, there is no need to worry," Zhao Lijian said in July.
