Beijing, March 20: Under fire for keeping the riot- scarred Tibetan capital Lhasa out of bounds for journalists, China on Thursday said there was no “absolute freedom” in any place and insisted it was entitled to adopt certain “special means”.
Facing a barrage of questions from overseas journalists at the bi-weekly news briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said, “our competent authorities and policemen are performing their duties according to the law and we hope the journalists and people can understand this.”

“There is no absolute freedom in any place in the world,” Qin said, as the foreign media complained about denial of access to Tibet to report on the “ground realities.”

China, which maintains a firm control on the information flow including the internet, has come under criticism for not permitting visit to Lhasa by foreign journalists, who also raised the issue with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at his annual news conference on Monday last.

“Lhasa would be opened to the rest of the world,” Wen had said, promising foreign journalists a trip to the Tibetan capital.

Qin said the measures by authorities did not come in conflict with the eased regulations on reporting in place because of the Beijing Olympics in August. According to Article One under it, journalists would have to do reporting work in accordance with the law.

“We hope that journalists in China will abide by the relevant laws and regulations in their reporting work,” he said.
