China critical of Western Coverage

I am taking an interest in Chinese stories as I attempt to write 1700 words on the Chinese media and this caught my attention the excellent reporters wihout borders site

The governmental news agency Xinhua today posted an article on its website from Huanqiu Shibao (Global Times), a sister publication of the Communist Party’s Remin Ribao (People’s Daily), condemning the “determination of organisations that relay prejudices” against China. Claiming that China is the victim of baseless rumours spread by NGOs such as Reporters Without Borders, it cites recent reports that the Chinese authorities are compiling files on foreign journalists in the approach to the Olympic Games.

And the article adds that

“Chinese journalists, and also Chinese students, are strictly controlled abroad, especially as regards obtaining visas or job interviews,” the article says. “Some are even accused by foreign intelligence services of spying, with proofs that could well have been fabricated. In fact, it is foreign governments that compile enormous databases. These newspapers publish articles on the basis of very unreliable sources. Is this the press freedom they praise?”
