Description
Beijing on Thursday hit out at "irresponsible" criticism of the arrests of seven Hong Kong journalists after the US, Canada, and the EU condemned the raid on their office and China's wide-ranging crackdown on press freedom in the semi-autonomous city. "Some external forces, under the guise of media freedom, have been making irresponsible remarks about law enforcement in Hong Kong," foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a briefing, adding that it "wholly confuses right and wrong, and misleads public opinion." Zhao also announced sanctions against five US figures over Hong Kong. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
