UK Protests as British Journalist is Barred from Chinese Press Conference

Downing Street has protested to the Chinese authorities about a "completely inappropriate" decision to bar a British journalist from a press conference in Beijing with David Cameron and his Chinese counterpart, Li Keqiang.

No 10 raised "deep concerns" on two occasions with Chinese officials after the foreign ministry excluded Robert Hutton, a political journalist with the US wire service Bloomberg, from the event at the Great Hall of the People on Monday.
