The official Xinhua News Agency defended controls on foreign news agencies' access to China's media market, saying it won't seek to profit from its new monopoly and promising that financial firms will continue to receive economic information.
The rules are meant to promote the ``sound and orderly'' distribution of news and are ``aimed at protecting the legitimate rights of foreign news agencies,'' Xinhua's statement said, without elaborating.
The rules come amid a clampdown on Chinese media by the communist leadership. Dozens of aggressive reporters and editors have been fired or arrested, some publications have been shut down and rules on Internet content tightened.
Premier Wen Jiabao, speaking Wednesday in London, tried to reassure foreign news organizations that their newsgathering in China won't be affected by the new controls.
``The Chinese government will ensure the freedom and rights of the foreign news media,'' Wen said at a news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
In a statement late Wednesday, Xinhua said it ``seeks no economic gains'' from the regulations, which give it control over distribution in China of news, photos and other services from foreign agencies.
The regulations announced Sunday boost Xinhua's efforts to transform itself from the ruling Communist Party's propaganda mouthpiece into a modern, profitable entity.
All information is to be funneled through the state-run agency, which will censor reports. Xinhua or entities it designates will then distribute the information.
