The Epoch Times does not view the new guidelines for Pentagon press access as an impediment to our reporting.
Having been subject to repeated attacks by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the past two decades, The Epoch Times is no stranger to attempts to suppress freedom of the press; the Pentagon’s new media access policy is no such attack.
We do, however, condemn the escalating intimidation campaign by the CCP, which in recent months has included white powder mailed to our New York headquarters, fake bomb threats, and the impersonation of our reporters by CCP agents.
As always, our responsibility is to provide readers with truthful and independent reporting.
