advertisement

In a survey released Tuesday, more than 180 of over 300 foreign journalists surveyed in China reported some kind of reporting interference, according to the Beijing-based Foreign Correspondents' Club of China. The club's definition of harassment includes "violence," "destruction of journalistic materials," "detention," "interception of communications" and "denial of access to public areas," to name a few. In one of the most serious incidents, Reuters correspondent Chris Buckley was kicked in the back by thugs who threatened to kill him.
