在年度审查中，中国在178个国家中排名第171，胜过北韩、缅甸，但不及古巴、越南及寮国。
The group’s secretary-general Jean-Francois Julliard said there was little difference between the bottom ten, showing that economic development does not necessarily lead to respect for fundamental rights.
记者无疆界组织秘书长Jean-Francois Julliard表示，最后十名有些许不同，显示经济发展必非必然导致对基本权利的尊重。
The report says the Chinese regime still censors and jails reporters, particularly in the far-western provinces of Tibet and Xinjiang.

在中国长期从事新闻自由法社会运动的中国记者昝爱宗）相信，一个没有新闻自由的国家是受困在过去当中的。
[Zan Aizong, Chinese Journalist for Oceanic Newspaper]:
“If the people of a nation cannot enjoy freedom of speech and freedom of the press, then this society is a closed society, a dictatorship. If only the economy is opened up, that is not a society that has opened up. Both the economy and politics must be opened up, and people’s fundamental rights must be guaranteed.”
昝爱宗说：“如果一个国家的人民不能享受新闻言论自由，那个社会就是一个封闭的社会，一个独裁政府。如果只是经济是开放的，不能算是一个开放的社会。经济及政治两者皆须开放，人民的基本权力必须受到保证。
