Foreign reporters working in Australia face scrutiny from security agencies if they provide a "slanted view to a particular community", Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has warned as he denied ASIO's raids on Chinese journalists imperilled Australian correspondents in China.

Mr Dutton, who has oversight of ASIO, said there was no evidence that China's heavy-handed treatment of two Australian correspondents was a reprisal for the foreign interference investigation that enmeshed four journalists working for Chinese state-run media in Australia.
