Two Australian reporters stationed in China who were temporarily banned from leaving the country by the Chinese authorities and interrogated immediately returned to Japan, one of whom ``felt like harassment'' said the situation of the interrogation ..
Two Australian reporters, including Bill Bartles, who was stationed in Beijing on the Australian public broadcaster ABC, were temporarily banned from leaving China this month and were interrogated as a condition of departure. I returned to Japan on the 8th with the support of the Australian government.
Among them, Bartles appeared on an ABC program to which he belonged, and was told that seven officials visited his house at midnight and said, "You were unable to leave China because you were involved in the incident." I talked about the situation.
Bartles then commented that the Chinese authorities had interrogated, "I felt more harassed by Australian journalists, rather than trying to get some information."
Although the source of the interview did not show anything to the core, the interviewee asked about a woman of Australian nationality who was working at a Chinese state television station detained by the Chinese authorities.
China and Australia are in conflict with each other over the investigation of the source of the new coronavirus and the situation in Hong Kong, and the relationship is chilling.
