BEIJING - A Chinese journalist whose home was raided as part of an Australian anti-interference investigation in June said the action was unfounded and"baseless", in a detailed account released by Chinese media late on Tuesday .

"I was shocked, but I quickly calmed down because I knew I had not violated any laws. However, my daughter had never experienced such a scene and was very frightened," said Mr Yang, describing the scene. The Chinese journalist's account borrows heavily from an earlier response to the raids released by China's foreign ministry, which said that Australia had not given a reasonable explanation for the investigation.The account comes amid a broader debate in some western countries over the overseas activities of Chinese state media, which put an emphasis on promoting China's image abroad, and amid deepening diplomatic tensions between Beijing and Canberra.
