The
news websites of Reuters, including those in English and Chinese, were
inaccessible in China on Friday, after users first experienced
difficulties accessing them late on Thursday.
The
websites of Bloomberg News, the New York Times and News Corp’s Wall
Street Journal have all been inaccessible in China for some time.
It was not immediately clear why users were hindered from using the Reuters sites.
The
websites of some major news organisations, including Reuters, have at
times become inaccessible in China in whole or part, often after the
publication of stories on issues about which the Chinese government is
sensitive.
The
Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the country’s Internet
regulator, did not immediately respond to a written request for comment.
“Reuters
is committed to practicing fair and accurate journalism worldwide. We
recognise the great importance of news about China to all our customers,
and we hope that our sites will be restored in China soon,” a Reuters
spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
Reuters
is the news division of Thomson Reuters Corp . Thomson Reuters also
sells financial news and data services to clients in China. These
services remained available.
