BEIJING — The lawyer for a missing Chinese journalist says his family has no way of finding him after police and airline officials rejected inquiries of his whereabouts.
Jia Jia, who has been linked by Hong Kong media reports to an anonymous online petition calling for the resignation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, disappeared Tuesday from the Beijing airport on his way to Hong Kong. That’s according to his lawyer, Yan Xin, who said authorities at the airport, local police, immigration services and the airline have all denied knowledge of his case.
Yan said his client told friends he had nothing to do with the petition.
