Hong Kong: China is increasingly cracking down on the work of foreign journalists, according to a survey published on Monday.
China’s Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCCC) said its annual survey had showed for the third year in a row that not a single journalist believed their working conditions had improved. Instead, Chinese authorities had “dramatically intensified” their efforts to thwart the work of foreign reporters, the FCCC said. All available means have been employed to intimidate and harass journalists, it added, with travel restrictions in connection with the coronavirus pandemic being used as a pretext to further restrict the work of foreign journalists or to deny them entry altogether.
Journalists from countries with tense relations with China have especially felt the pressure of the authorities, the survey showed. (dpa)
