Op-Ed: Expelling foreign journalists is a bad idea for both China and the United States (via latimesopinion)

China’s announcement Tuesday that it will expel at least 13 American journalists with the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal will hurt China more than it will punish the United States. But it’s not good for anyone.

The Chinese government has always tried to keep the Western press on a short leash, especially when it is facing internal crises. When I was covering the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests for the Associated Press, China expelled a fellow AP reporter whose excellent reporting on the student movement leadership brought their voices to the world.

Between 2013 and January of this year, Beijing expelled, or denied visas to the news organizations of, six Western reporters. In explaining its actions, the Chinese government claimed unfair or false coverage of sensitive areas of Chinese society and governance. The expelled reporters or their media had written about the wealth of Chinese officials, so-called “black jails” for dissidents and the “reeducation” camps for the Uighur minority in western China.

Why haven't we? A good leader would be throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this! They can't smart bomb the virus so yeah right! Problem is our allies do not respect Trump and do not trust him.
