<p>We do not hold statistics of the number of UK journalists who have been denied
access to, or expelled from, Tibet and China in the last five years.</p><p>Access
to Tibet by all foreign passport holders is heavily restricted by the Chinese authorities.
This includes journalists. We continue to urge the Chinese authorities to lift the
visit restrictions imposed on foreigners. The Government regards the Tibet Autonomous
Region as part of the People’s Republic of China, and we consistently urge China to
respect all fundamental rights, including in Tibet, in line with both its own constitution
and the international frameworks to which it is a party.</p><p>Access to other parts
of the People’s Republic of China is more freely given to UK journalists, but under
certain restrictions. All UK nationals wishing to visit to travel and work in China
should pay close attention to the FCO Travel Advice which is regularly updated.</p>
