Jim Zimmerman was quoted in “China’s Foreign Reporters Facing ‘Unprecedented Hurdles,’” an article in Bloomberg, regarding regulations in China.

“The word is out that the police and security forces need to better manage the foreign media in order to better manage the message,” James Zimmerman, a Beijing-based media lawyer with law firm Perkins Coie, said before the report’s release.

“The authorities have weaponized the vague regulations governing foreign media outlets, and specifically as a means to interfere with the ability of journalists to interview willing and consenting sources,” he said.
