Deputy bureau chief, reporters ordered to leave within 5 days over headline deemed 'racially discriminatory', sensationalist. FMTNews WSJ WallStreetJournal

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang called editorial headline ‘racially discriminatory’.

The expulsion, one of its harshest moves against foreign media in recent years, came as Beijing also slammed Washington’s decision to tighten rules on Chinese state media organisations in the US, calling the move “unreasonable and unacceptable.” “As such, China has decided that from today, the press cards of three Wall Street Journal reporters in Beijing will be revoked,” Geng told a press briefing.

The editorial, written by Bard College professor Walter Russell Mead, also criticised the Chinese government’s initial response to the new coronavirus outbreak – calling the Wuhan city government at the virus epicentre “secretive and self-serving”, while dismissing national efforts as ineffective.
