Ten Kate reports, “China has confirmed that Haze Fan, a Chinese citizen who has worked with Bloomberg News since 2017, was detained by the Beijing Municipal National Security Bureau on suspicion of endangering national security. She was seen escorted from her apartment building by plain clothes security officials on Dec. 7.
“‘We expect the Chinese authorities to grant her medical assistance if needed, prompt access to a lawyer of her choice, and contacts with her family,’ the EU said on Saturday night in Brussels. Fan’s family was informed of her detainment within 24 hours.
“China’s mission to the EU responded Sunday with a statement saying Fan was being held under ‘compulsory measures’ and that her rights and interests were being protected. ‘What I want to emphasize is that the lawful handling of the relevant issues by the Chinese authorities is entirely China’s internal affair, in which no other country or organization has any right to interfere,’ a spokesperson for the mission said.”
