The BBC said John Sudworth had “exposed truths the Chinese authorities did not want the world to know” and he would continue his work as China correspondent from Taiwan.

Irish journalist Yvonne Murray has told of how she and her husband BBC China correspondent John Sudworth and their three children had to leave China because of mounting pressure from the Chinese Authorities.

Ms Murray told RTÉ radio’s News at One that they had made the decision to leave after the Chinese authorities began coordinated personalised attacks.
