Wow, this is such an incredible surprise! This Emmy nomination really belongs to the phenomenal team at CNN. Especially the small, but mighty team behind the camera in China, whose faces and names the world does not see. The environment for journalists in China is at its worst point in decades. The country is increasingly cracking down on independent reporting and punishing Chinese nationals who speak out. Finding the truth is harder than ever. Reporting on the ground means dealing with surveillance, intimidation from local authorities, and lots of online harassment on Chinese social media. To my devoted colleagues - you are the unsung heroes of our reporting. @cnn @cnnipr

For months, we've been following a man who risked everything to escape zero-covid China to chase his American dream. He's one of many trying to flee growing repression under Xi Jinping's rule. Some are even taking dangerous journeys to illegally enter America through Mexico @cnn
