| Chinese officials in New York have accused the western media of misleading the public about Tibetan protests in March.
They complained of ''distorted reports and coverage'' in major outlets.
''The incident to a large degree has not been accurately covered or reported in the media,'' Weilin Kuang, deputy consul-general of the Chinese consulate in New York, told reporters at a press conference.
''There have been some misleading reports and comments, some distorted facts, wrong conclusions and wrong judgments,'' Kuang added.
Aside from a brief, tightly managed government tour given to a group of journalists, foreign media has been banned from Tibet and some surrounding areas since the protests.
The Chinese government has been widely criticised for keeping foreign media out of the Tibet region and restricting press freedom inside the country.
Officials from the Chinese consulate in New York on Thursday said that when security improved, journalists would be invited back. The Chinese government also announced that they hoped to reopen the region to tourists and media before May.
