Press groups raise alarm over threats to foreign media in China

Reporters from international outlets have suffered worsening intimidation while covering Henan floods

Press groups have expressed alarm at the worsening intimidation of foreign media in China, often driven by government officials and organisations.

As recovery and rescue efforts continue in Henan province after last week's deadly floods, groups including Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (FCCC) have condemned recent harassment and threats towards journalists covering the disaster.
