A Chinese journalist who went missing in February while reporting on the Chinese authorities' response to the coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan has been found, his friend reported, revealing that the young man is in a Chinese prison
Chen Qiushi , a former lawyer who became a reporter, has been reporting from hospitals and Wuhan streets since Jan. 23, and his sudden disappearance has sparked a wave of criticism of the Chinese government for starting a hunt for journalists and whistleblowers.
Chinese authorities have not revealed his whereabouts or health, but his mother said shortly after his disappearance that she was in forced quarantine.
Chen’s friend and master of mixed martial arts Xu Xiaodong said live on YouTube that Chen is in good health but still under the supervision of a certain government department in Qindao, Shandong province, despite promises by authorities not to prosecute him.
Xu said authorities said no charges would be filed for now after an investigation in China, Hong Kong and Japan showed that Quishi had not tried to provoke anyone or been in contact with opposition groups abroad.

There have been conflicting reports as to whether Qiushi is in custody, living with parents under government supervision, or in another location under Chinese government supervision, such as secret Chinese detention that allows authorities to detain a person for six months without charge.
The only thing Chen's friend and family are sure of is that he's not free.
Authorities have arrested several journalists reporting on the outbreak of a coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan. Li Zehua, who traveled to Wuhan to report on Chen’s disappearance, disappeared in early February but was released in April. Fang Bin from Wuhan, disappeared at the same time but has not been traced since. The search for missing journalists started on social networks, especially for Chen, who was caught the same day when the whistleblower doctor Li Wenliang passed away from Covid-19.
The Chinese Communist Party, led by Xi Jinping, is using intensified repressive measures against the opposition and dissidents. This week, Ren Zhiqiang, a former wealthy real estate trader and critic of the Xi regime, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for corruption. The leading party uses such an accusation to silence the voices of rebellion.
Ren Zhiqiang disappeared shortly after he published an essay in which he suggested that Chinese leader Xi Jinping was a clown because of the way he was managing the corona crisis
