US says China ‘afraid’ of free media after new restrictions

The United States accuses China of fearing a free media, citing new restrictions on international press.

China’s foreign ministry “has informed us that they plan to further limit access for foreign journalists working in the PRC,” State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus says.

“Why is the CCP afraid of independent and investigative media reporting?” she writes on Twitter, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.
