'Goodbye to China, country of contradictions'

At a subsequent Foreign Ministry press briefing, spokesman Hong Lei did not provide a public explanation, only saying that "foreign journalists should abide by Chinese laws and regulations”.

As I say goodbye to China, I think back to some of the issues and people we've covered.
