China to outlaw all news outlets not funded by Communist Party

The Telegraph  

China could ban all news media not funded directly by the Communist Party under new rules that will likely further limit freedom of speech. Officials have not confirmed whether the new rules will apply to foreign news organisations operating in China, effectively making them illegal. 'Very broad ban on everything relating to the news media' "The 2021 list is a very broad ban on everything relating to the news media sector, while the 2020 list does allow non-public capital participation, subject to equity caps," said Henry Gao, an associate professor of law at Singapore Management University. Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post, owned by tech tycoon Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group, could potentially be impacted by the law.
