(Clearwisdom.net) On January 14th 2005, Radio France International
reported the following news to the Asia-Pacific and the Mandarin-speaking areas
of Paris on its Chinese broadcasting channel in a special program entitled,
"The Asia-Pacific Action."
The Canadian Prime Minister demanded that China provide an explanation for
the cancellation of two Canadian reporters' visas. China initially approved the
visas for the two journalists, but dismissed the applications later. Both
journalists were reporters for New Tang Dynasty TV and were gearing up for
joining the group of reporters traveling with Prime Minister Paul Martin. In
fact, they had already received the approved visas, which were later recalled by
China. Martin told a reporter, "It is a serious matter for us. Freedom of
speech and freedom of the press are among our values and principles. We have
been in negotiation with the Chinese Embassy in Canada regarding this
incident."
Canadian Prime Minister Martin will embark on a visit to China from January
20th to the 23rd, to have talks with Hu Jintao, the Chinese State
Chairman, and Premier Wen Jiabao.
