The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) named China the world’s worst jailer of journalists on Thursday, the third year in a row that the host of the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics has taken the title.
The family of Chinese citizen journalist Zhang Zhan, detained since May 2020 for her reporting from the epicenter of the global coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan, is warning that she is severely underweight from a hunger strike and “may not survive the coming cold winter.”
Local Communist Party officials in Wuhan, China, the origin city of the Chinese coronavirus, ordered the city’s 11 million residents to stockpile masks, first aid kits, and other emergency supplies, the propaganda outlet Global Times revealed on Sunday.
