TAIPEI, Taiwan — City officials in eastern China apologized to local journalists after authorities were shown pushing them and trying to obstruct reporting from the site of a deadly explosion, in a rare acknowledgment of state aggression against journalists.
Asked about the behavior in Sanhe during a regular news briefing, the Chinese Foreign Ministry referred reporters to the city’s statement. Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said China welcomes foreign journalists to “conduct interviews and reports in accordance with the law and regulations.” “If any problems come up, our communication channels are open,” he said.
