A Chinese citizen journalist who was missing for almost two months after posting videos from Wuhan during the coronavirus outbreak has re-appeared, claiming that he was detained by police and forcibly quarantined, Lily Kuo reports from Beijing.

Li Zehua was one of three Chinese journalists who had been reporting in Wuhan during some of the worst weeks of the epidemic. He was last seen on 26 February after posting a video in which he was chased by a white SUV and an hours-long livestream that ended when several agents entered his apartment.

In a video posted on YouTube, Weibo and Twitter, Li said that on 26 February, the white SUV had pulled out in front of him while he was driving in the Wuchang district in Wuhan and the people in it had yelled for him to stop. Li panicked and drove off with the car in pursuit, recording the video that he posted online later that day.

After making it back to his apartment, he saw uniformed police and staff in protective suits knocking on the doors of his neighbours. Li turned the lights off and sat quietly in front of his computer for hours, waiting. Three hours later, a knock came.
