The Committee to Protect Journalists is pressing the Chinese government to honor the promises it made when Beijing won the Games in 2001. Despite its pledge to “give the media complete freedom,” China still severely restricts and censors the domestic press. CPJ’s report, Falling Short: As the 2008 Olympics Approach, China Falters on Press Freedom finds that while the government has eased some restrictions that apply to foreign reporters, harsh constraints remain on the local press. At least 29 Chinese journalists are in jail, vast censorship rules are in place, and attacks occur with impunity. CPJ’s recommendations for include urging Chinese authorities to promote a level of press freedom in accordance with international norms, to stop censoring the news, and to release all journalists currently imprisoned for their work.
