China seeks to eradicate 'vile effect' of independent journalism | World news | The Guardian

After the recent deluge of news stories, China seeks to stop the flood of independent journalism.

"It comes just over five months after Xi made a high-profile tour
of state media outlets in Beijing, demanding “absolute loyalty” from
their journalists and instructing them to serve as 'disseminators of the
Party’s policies and propositions'.


"Qiao Mu, a journalism professor from Beijing’s Foreign Languages
University, said online portals had long been barred from publishing
original news stories about politically sensitives subjects."
