The Foreign Correspondents Club in China has issued a warning to its members regarding recent attacks on foreign reporters. Three employees of a European media company were attacked last week following the coverage of a land rights protest in a village in the Zhejiang province of China. These attacks included both French and Dutch correspondents who were approached by aggressive groups of men. These men appeared to be plain-clothes policemen. The Chinese authorities have responding by stating that all foreign correspondents are free to report in China and that these groups of men are simply aggressive villagers. Other correspondents have also reported harassment while covering unrest in China.
