Foreign journalists may be allowed into Tibet, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said on Tuesday, but he gave no timeframe amid criticism the remote region had been sealed off following unrest there.

"We would certainly consider the possibility of organising for foreign media to go to Tibet," Wen told reporters, after saying the situation in the region's capital, Lhasa, was returning to normal.

But he did not elaborate on when the foreign press would be allowed in.

The Space War Editorial Team produces content across our two editorial pillars: space industry news and Mind & Meaning. We cover launches, missions, satellites, defense, and the technology of getting humans to space, alongside the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes. Articles reflect our team's collective editorial process, source verification, drafting, technical review, and editing, rather than a single writer's work. Space War takes editorial responsibility for content under this byline. For more on how we work, see our editorial policy.
