The last two journalists working for Australian media in China have left the country after police demanded interviews with them and temporarily blocked their departures, the Australian government and their employers said.

In this image made from a video, The Australian Financial Review journalist Michael Smith speaks to the media on his arrival at Sydney airport, Australia Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020. Smith and Australian Broadcasting Corp. journalist Bill Birtles, the last two journalists working for Australian media in China have left the country after police demanded interviews with them, the Australian government and Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported on Tuesday.

Australian Embassy officials in Beijing told Birtles last week that he should leave China, ABC reported. Birtles and Smith both agreed to give police a brief interview in return for being allowed to leave the country. Australia’s travel warning of the risk of arbitrary detention in China “remains appropriate and unchanged,” she added.

“The story of China, its relationship with Australia and its role in our region and in the world is one of great importance for all Australians and we want to continue having our people on the ground to cover it,” he added. Australia’s journalist union, Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance, said China was no longer safe for foreign reporters.

China is not safe for foreign journalists who wanted to report the truths. I can only hope the free press could last as long as she can in Hong Kong.

CCP maintains dictatorship by restrict citizens from free speech. Surveilance, censor media to control info & propaganda. HK puppet Govt. & police put citizens freedom & justice aside, obey only CCP order to intimidate ppl of HK & the world. standwithHK

sam99061414 The land of censorship is about to strike again. To that uncivilised, authoritarian state, freedom of press is purely a myth.

Australian only barking behind US.

China is a world of worlds, where the strange thing is normality

“Birtles went to the Australian Embassy, where he spent four days while Australian and Chinese officials negotiated. Smith had similarly holed up at the Australian Consulate in Shanghai.”

Some Americans asked what our issue is with MEK & RezaPahlavi? We told everyone that they could form a party under the umbrella of TheCyrusEmpire and they must accept the laws of Restart,the right to bear arms and friendship with America & Israel! ✔️They are Russian-English!!

About time !!!✔

China is the evil in our World. And Democrats and mainstream media cater to them.

Dark side China

Safety first!

Wise move.

Not getting along those two.

How many communist Chinese journalists are there in Australia?

The same democrats and the media tweeting this are those that said China is not the problem, NBA refuse to speak out against China dictatorship because money can buy them to keep silent on China dictatorship

Good for them
