BBC scribe left for Taiwan, citing threats over Xinjiang reports
The European Union on Friday condemned the “harassment” of foreign journalists in China after a BBC correspondent left the country in the face of legal threats and pressure from authorities. John Sudworth said he had quit China for Taiwan — along with his journalist wife — after a “full-on propaganda attack” from the authorities due to his reporting on Xinjiang rights abuses and the pandemic. “This is the latest case of foreign correspondents being driven out of China as a result of continuous harassment and obstruction to their work, coming on top of the expulsion of at least 18 correspondents last year,” a spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said.
