Good read. Thank you. Did you ask Moldpres who else was on the "international media group" that visited China?

Hi Serge,

I did not. My focus was on Moldovan outlets reporting and I got no indication that other Moldovan journalists attended this trip. Let me know if you find something I didn't!

Great post, very insightful.

What’s the justification for why MoldPress are exempt from the proposed new law?

Also, out of curiosity - to what extent / how has this been covered by other local outlets like ZdG? (“this” being MoldPress’ actions / policies rather than Tibet generally)

Quite remarkable. I wonder if it’s just industry convention to stay away from being critical of other outlets or simply that no one noticed…

Well, I don't want to speculate too much but there could be a few things going on. It's possible the story will get picked up still - we'll see!

Hi Chaitanya, so far not at all.
