Since 2012 the Chinese authorities have meted out multi-faceted reprisals and obstructions against American news outlets for investigative reports detailing the assets of Party leaders’ relatives, critical coverage of the Chinese economy, or unfavorable reporting about Xi Jinping.15 Foreign correspondents’ attempts to report on issues such as human rights lawyers’ trials, land disputes and environmental pollution have also encountered interference and in some cases, physical attacks. https://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/Sarah%20Cook%20May%204th%202017%20USCC%20testimony.pdf

4-21-20 China occupies the fourth-bottom spot (177) for the second year in a row, having dropped behind Syria in 2018.
