Foreign journalists in China see 'rapid decline in media freedom': survey
The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China (FCCC) said on Monday (Mar 1) that China used coronavirus prevention measures ushering in a “rapid decline in media freedom,”
Authorities cited public health concerns to deny reporters access to sensitive areas and threatened them with enforced quarantine. On the top of that, visa restrictions were also used to put pressure on reporting.
China expelled more than a dozen foreign journalists at U.S. media organizations in 2020, amid a series of tit-for-tat actions between the countries. Washington also slashed the number of journalists permitted to work in US at four major Chinese state-owned media outlets.
Last Sept Australia helped two of its foreign correspondents leave China after they were questioned by the country’s state security ministry.
