New York Times reporter leaves China after visa denial
BEIJING, January 30, 2014 (AFP) - A New York Times reporter was leaving Beijing Thursday after authorities did not grant him a visa, in a case that comes as Chinese authorities ratchet up pressure on foreign media. "Sad to be leaving Beijing," Ramzy tweeted. "Hope I can return soon." It comes a month after US Vice President Joe Biden raised the issue of China's treatment of foreign journalists privately with Chinese leaders during a visit to Beijing. Beijing has blocked the websites of both the Times and Bloomberg News after they published investigations in 2012 into the family wealth of former premier Wen Jiabao and President Xi Jinping, respectively. Authorities this week said that Ramzy's journalist visa, which the newspaper applied for in June after he joined from Time magazine, would not be ready before the end of the month, effectively obliging him to leave. The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (FCCC) said it "strongly regrets" that Ramzy "has been forced to … [Read more...] about New York Times reporter leaves China after visa denial

BEIJING - A Chinese tycoon said Monday he is serious about buying the New York Times and wants to work on "rebuilding its credibility and influence" by reforming its award-winning coverage of China. Global Times newspaper headlined: "I intend to buy The New York Times, please don't take it as a joke". "The tradition and style of The New York Times make it very difficult to have objective coverage of China," Chen wrote. "If we could purchase it, its tone might turn around. Therefore I have been involved in discussing acquisition-related matters with like-minded investors." The New York Times has published several award-winning reports on China, including a 2012 investigation into the family wealth of then-premier Wen Jiabao that was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. The paper's website has been blocked ever since in China, the world's second-biggest economy, and several of its reporters have had difficulty obtaining visas. Chen added that if he succeeds he "will conduct some necessary … [Read more...] about Chinese tycoon wants to ‘rebuild’ New York Times
