Premier Wen Jiabao reiterated in London on Wednesday that
China's open policy to foreign media and information institutions
remains unchanged.
He made the remarks at a press conference after his meeting with
British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
"There have been much misunderstanding towards China's policies
on foreign media. I would like to take this opportunity to
clarify," he said.
The premier noted that the Chinese government will guarantee the
freedom and rights of foreign media and information institutions.
In the meantime, he expressed the hope and belief that Chinese laws
are abided by.
Wen noted in particular that China will ensure the free flow of
business, financial and economic information.
