So to a struggling journalists have returned home from china after a diplomatic standoff the Chinese Police had demanded interviews with the parent initially bought them from leaving the reporters one from the state broadcaster a. B. C. And the other from the finance review sought refuge in australian diplomatic compounds on a safe departure was negotiated this comes after the arrest of a nother straightly in janice chen les who was working for chinas state owned channel c g t n. I decided. They want to. Believe that if there is. A country with genuine rule of law. This is a whirlwind of some kind of. Got a particularly good experience. Mark a straw man is the president of australias media union that the Media Entertainment and art to land and he says that china is using journalists as diplomatic bargaining chips. Were very glad that the 2 of them are back home and safe because in china theyre clearly not safe and this is a very disturbing pattern weve seen. Chung they is in custody not a number of reasons that we are unclear of and also we have another member of a uni and german whos in john has been so for 18 months facing its been charges so unfortunately this looks like a pattern that the Chinese Government is using journalists as just tools in a diplomatic can you hear very little about what happens up to journalists are detained we know that that has received consular assistance but thats thats about it and this appears to be a pattern of intimidation by the chinese authorities to try to get the story of china told in the way it wants and i mean it also appears to be a bit of tit for tat tied in with trade disputes chinas long struggle with this United States maybe a stranger is seen as as a pawn or a patsy for the United States its very unclear whats going on and its very disappointing because i mean china does not have a Civil Society where freedom of the press exists so its disturbing that that pattern is being rolled out against western and other journalists you know a diplomatic game that is very dangerous for our members and other journalists to cover china. Well china is accusing indian troops of firing warning shots during a confrontation on a disputed border beijing says indian soldiers crossed a boundary in the western regional monday china says its troops to quote countermeasures both sides usually avoid using farms in the area which runs through the western himalayas tensions have been high since clashes in june left 20 indian soldiers dead. Katrina you joins us now from beijing and katrina as a very tense along the Boundary Line here what more do we know this this latest confrontation well time is military spokesperson has released a statement saying that this is the 2nd time indian troops have violated the border agreement in the last few weeks now the area that this took place in was an eastern la dock which is in chinas tibet autonomy region now according to china to china birth troops troops from both sides indian troops and chinese troops were approaching one another to conduct some sort of negotiation and at that point according to china indian troops fired on chinese troops now chinas military spokesperson had called this an escalation unprovoked a serious both occasion and a violation of border agreements they said that they were forced to take countermeasures although we do not know exactly what form those countermeasures have taken they also have not specified whether there were any casualties as a result of this skirmish or this incident and theyve asked india to pull back their troops to investigate the situation and punish those personnel who are responsible for firing at the chinese side now this comes off the weeks as you mention of escalation between both sides in this very tense disputed border area yeah right tell us more about that weve seen a ramping up havent we of the this kind of incident in recent months. Thats rights of both sides india and china have had decades of this kind of tension because they fail to agree to agree over the line of actual control the delineation of the territory between both sides and over the past few months starting about from last year weve seen a build up of troops both on the chinese side and the indian side and according to some analysts we see a situation of quite literally troops from either side staring out staring down each other eyeball to eyeball and there have been some skirmishes although up until recently up until these last few months in june there were no actual skirmishes or attacks where there were any casualties but in june there was a clash between troops not using firearms reportedly but there were casualties at least 20 on the indian side reported casualties on the chinese side although the Chinese ForeignMinistry Never released actual numbers now this latest incident is quite a shock because it comes just after a high level meeting between india and china took place in moscow defense ministers from both sides sat down in moscow to try to reach an agreement try to ease tensions and there had been talks taking place between chinese and Indian Military leaders as well as people at a high level in the government but it seems that so far these talks have been very limited in terms of how much progress theyve been able to achieve or a katrina thanks to that katrina you the force in beijing.
