CHINA: Concern about press freedom under new emergency law
Updated
China is reviewing the controversial draft of an emergency response law which bans the spread of "false information" during accidents and disasters. Critics of the laws are worried they could act to further curb press freedom in a country where the media operates within strict written and unwritten laws. When the law was first drafted a year ago many newspapers criticised the proposal for the limits it would place on their ability to report public health emergencies and natural disasters.
