《紐約時報》一名駐華記者被迫離境
報道 2013年01月01日
北京——《紐約時報》的一名記者被迫在周一離開中國大陸，因為中國官方拒絕在2012年底前向他發放2013年的簽證。
45歲的儲百亮(Chris Buckley)是澳大利亞人，他從2000年起就開始在中國從事記者工作，在路透社(Reuters)工作一段時間後，他於去年9月再次加入《紐約時 報》。《紐約時報》向官方提出儲百亮的記者資格申請，以替代一名調任別處的記者。儘管《紐約時報》反覆要求，官方還是未在12月31日前做出行動，因此儲 百亮及其伴侶和女兒被迫在周一飛往香港。
通常，轉簽證申請應在數周或數月內得到處理。
《紐約時報》也在等待其北京分社新任社長潘公凱(Philip P. Pan)被授予記者資格，潘公凱在3月提出申請，但他的簽證仍未發放。
簽證問題出現之際，中國政府正因外國新聞媒體調查中國高層領導人的財務狀況而對其施壓，這在中國是一個敏感話題。腐敗問題在中國被廣泛報道，但高層領導人被認為是報道禁區。
《紐約時報》曾調查溫家寶總理的家庭財富狀況。在相關長篇調查性報道發表的當天，《紐約時報》的英文網站和新成立的中文網站都在中國境內遭到屏蔽，如今依然處在屏蔽狀態。
6月，彭博新聞社(Bloomberg News)的英文網站發表了一篇針對中國新一任最高領導人習近平家庭財富的詳細調查報道，之後該網站遭到官方屏蔽。中國的金融機構稱，官方指示他們不要購買彭博的計算機終端，而這一業務是該公司的重要收入來源。
中國外交部拒絕就儲百亮被迫離境一事發表評論。外交部官員並未表明，他們是否把儲百亮的簽證續簽或潘公凱的記者資格批准和該報對中國的報道相關聯。在一則聲明中，《紐約時報》力促官方儘快處理儲百亮的簽證申請，這樣他和家人就能回到北京。
“我希望中國官方能儘快向他發放簽證，讓他和家人能回到北京，”《紐約時報》的執行主編吉爾·阿布拉姆松(Jill Abramson)在此則聲明中說。“我也希望潘公凱能獲得簽證擔任我們的北京分社社長，他的記者資格申請已經被擱置了好幾個月。”
《紐約時報》在中國還有其他六名持證記者，他們的2013年簽證得到了及時續簽。對溫家寶家庭財富進行調查的上海分社社長張大衛(David Barboza)也是續簽成功者之一。

Visa Issue in China Forces Out Times Reporter
January 01, 2013
BEIJING — A correspondent for The New York Times was forced to leave mainland China on Monday after the authorities declined to issue him a visa for 2013 by year’s end.
Chris Buckley, a 45-year-old Australian who has worked as a correspondent in China since 2000, rejoined The Times in September after working for Reuters. The Times applied for Mr. Buckley to be accredited to replace a correspondent who was reassigned, but the authorities did not act before Dec. 31, despite numerous requests. That forced Mr. Buckley, his partner and their daughter to fly to Hong Kong on Monday.
Normally, requests to transfer visas are processed in a matter of weeks or a couple of months.
The Times is also waiting for its new Beijing bureau chief, Philip P. Pan, to be accredited. Mr. Pan applied in March, but his visa has not been processed.
The visa troubles come amid government pressure on the foreign news media over investigations into the finances of senior Chinese leaders, a delicate subject. Corruption is widely reported in China, but top leaders are considered off limits.
On the day that The Times published a long investigation into the riches of the family of Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, both its English-language Web site and its new Chinese-language site were blocked within China, and they remain so.
In June, the authorities blocked the English-language site of Bloomberg News after it published a detailed investigation into the family riches of China’s new top leader, Xi Jinping. Chinese financial institutions say they have been instructed by officials not to buy Bloomberg’s computer terminals, a lucrative source of income for the company.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to comment on Mr. Buckley’s forced departure. Ministry officials have not said if they are linking Mr. Buckley’s visa renewal or Mr. Pan’s press accreditation to the newspaper’s coverage of China. In a statement, The Times urged the authorities to process Mr. Buckley’s visa as quickly as possible so that he and his family could return to Beijing.
“I hope the Chinese authorities will issue him a new visa as soon as possible and allow Chris and his family to return to Beijing,” Jill Abramson, the executive editor of The Times, said in the statement. “I also hope that Phil Pan, whose application for journalist credentials has been pending for months, will also be issued a visa to serve as our bureau chief in Beijing.”
The Times has six other accredited correspondents in China, and their visas were renewed for 2013 in a timely manner. David Barboza, the Shanghai bureau chief, who wrote the articles about Mr. Wen’s family, was among those whose visas were renewed.
