Major titles - including the New York Times - now have their China correspondents based outside the country. And Steve Vines, The Observer鈥檚 man in Hong Kong since the 1980s, said this week that it was no longer 鈥渟afe鈥� for him to be there. So what is the situation for journalists in China 鈥� and for those trying to cover the country from afar?
