"We've never recognized the organization you mentioned. Judging from the content of the so-called report, it is full of ideological prejudice and rumors against China. It is deliberately finding fault. A self-styled 'club of foreign correspondents in China', the FCCC can by no means speak on behalf of the nearly 500 foreign journalists in China, but only conveys the paranoid ideas of a handful of Western journalists. It is a typical example of unfair, biased reports, a far cry from the fairness and objectiveness required for media reporting."

"It is precisely because of China's strict epidemic prevention and control measures that foreign correspondents in China can do their work safely. All Chinese and foreigners in China must abide by relevant quarantine regulations. Even WHO experts who visit China are subject to a 14-day quarantine. Why would anyone think foreign journalists don't need to abide by such epidemic control regulations? The report slandered China's anti-epidemic measures as restrictions on journalists, and made maliciously speculated about China's good will to help journalists and their families return to China. It is nothing but unscrupulous smears, confusing right with wrong."

"What I want to stress is that China is a country under the rule of law, where anyone in China must abide by Chinese laws. It is entirely China's internal affairs for relevant departments to handle relevant issues in accordance with the law. No other country or organization has the right to interfere. China's basic state policy of opening-up has not changed and will not change. We always welcome media and journalists from other countries to do their work in China in accordance with laws and regulations, and will continue to provide convenience and assistance. What we oppose is ideological bias against China, fake news under the cover of freedom of the press, and the violation of professional ethics."

Storyline


All Chinese people and foreigners in China must abide by COVID-19 response measures including international journalists, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

Wang’s remarks came in response to a journalist’s question about a report on Monday by the "Foreign Correspondents' Club of China" claiming that international journalists felt the "degree of freedom" of reporting in China had decreased.

"We've never recognized the organization you mentioned. Judging from the content of the so-called report, it is full of ideological prejudice and rumors against China. It is deliberately finding fault. A self-styled 'club of foreign correspondents in China', the FCCC can by no means speak on behalf of the nearly 500 foreign journalists in China, but only conveys the paranoid ideas of a handful of Western journalists. It is a typical example of unfair, biased reports, a far cry from the fairness and objectiveness required for media reporting," said Wang.

China always welcomes media agencies and journalists from other countries to report in China in accordance with laws and regulations, and provides convenience and assistance for them to work and live in the country, said the spokesman.

"It is precisely because of China's strict epidemic prevention and control measures that foreign correspondents in China can do their work safely. All Chinese and foreigners in China must abide by relevant quarantine regulations. Even WHO experts who visit China are subject to a 14-day quarantine.

The report slandered China's anti-epidemic measures as restrictions on journalists, and made maliciously speculated about China's good will to help journalists and their families return to China. It is nothing but unscrupulous smears, confusing right with wrong," said Wang.

According to Wang, the FCCC has been biased, distorting facts and slandering China's media environment for a long time, and its bad behavior has been heard else where in the world.

"What I want to stress is that China is a country under the rule of law, where anyone in China must abide by Chinese laws. It is entirely China's internal affairs for relevant departments to handle relevant issues in accordance with the law. No other country or organization has the right to interfere.
