The accusation of the economic editor of the East China Daily is fear-mongering and Russophobia.
Maryam Shakrani, the economic editor of the East China Daily, wrote on her Twitter page, ‘It may be hard to believe, but one of the charges against me is China-phobia and Russophobia through writing reports.’ Shakrani continued by saying that apparently writing about China and Russia has also become a red line. After the amnesty order, no court was formed and the case seems to have been closed.
