【新唐人2013年10月24日讯】中共新闻审查制度延伸至海外
“国际媒体援助中心”10月23号发表的最新研究报告说，中共逐渐将箝制新闻自由的审查制度延伸了到海外，透过威逼利诱等方式，迫使外国媒体不要报导民主、人权等内容。
这份题为《中国媒体审查的巨大阴影》的报告，由美国非政府组织“自由之家”的分析师萨拉•库克所写。
报告指出，中共压制新闻自由的目标，在过去5年中已经延伸到外国媒体和海外中文媒体，而且手段日益强烈，受到影响的媒体包括《纽约时报》、《彭博》新闻社等着名媒体，也包括尼泊尔的地方报纸和美国洛杉矶的中文电台。
报告将中共向海外媒体的施压分为4种方式：第一种是中共官员直接惩罚拒不听从中共对媒体报导限制的海外媒体；第二是通过利诱引导媒体自我审查；第三，通过外国政府或广告商等代理人间接施压；最后是采取网路攻击和人身攻击。

CIMA Report: Chinese Communist Party Censorship Expanding Abroad
On October 23, the Center for International
Media Assistance issued a report.
It said that the Chinese Communist Party's
(CCP) censorship is expanding abroad.
The CCP used intimidation, forcing overseas media not to
report on content about China's democracy and human rights.
This report, entitled "The Long Shadow
of Chinese Censorship", was authored by
Freedom House research analyst Sarah Cook.
The report says, "the Chinese regime's efforts to influence
reporting by foreign and overseas Chinese news outlets
have intensified and expanded over the past five years."
"These include internationally renowned outlets, such as
the New York Times and Bloomberg, a local newspaper
in Nepal, or a Chinese radio station in Los Angeles."
The report breaks down four ways that the CCP uses
pressure to influence media outlets outside of China.
It uses direct action by Chinese officials, to punish
overseas outlets that fail to heed Chinese restrictions.
It uses economic incentives to induce self-censorship,
as well as indirect pressure applied through proxies
like other foreign governments or advertisers.
Finally, it uses cyber attacks and physical assault.
Guangzhou Reporter Arrested
Chen Yongzhou, a reporter for Guangzhou based Xinkuaibao
newspaper has been arrested by Changsha police.

China, as well as legal experts, questioned the incident.
On October 23, the newspaper
published a statement on it's front page.
It highlighted their support for Chen Yongzhou,
and protested against the suppression.
On the same day, dozens of lawyers from
different cities formed an observation group.
They expressed their dissatisfaction with Changsha police.
A manager of the journalist association spoke out.
He stressed that there is a need to maintain reporters
legal rights for interviewing, which should not be violated.
Meanwhile, a petition letter was circulated online
to call for the release of reporter Chen Yongzhou.
The open letter was jointly written by dozens of
lawyers. They not only called for the release of Chen.
It also requested resuming dozens of reporters
right to work, and who had been suppressed
for many years due to their truthful reporting.
