Wall Street Journal reporters Josh Chin and Philip Wen walk through Beijing Capital Airport as they are expelled in February 2020 over a controversial headline in an op-ed in the newspaper
China said the expulsions were in retaliation for Washington’s decision to cut the number of Chinese nationals allowed to work for its state-run media on American soil. The foreign ministry said the measures “are entirely necessary and reciprocal” moves that China “is compelled to take in response to the unreasonable oppression the Chinese media organisations experience in the US”.
Those were the first outright expulsions by China of a foreign journalist since 1998, according to the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said following the latest move against the three newspapers that China was wrong to equate state-run media, which answer to Beijing, and independent US news outlets that can freely report and ask critical questions.
Matt Murray, editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, called it an “unprecedented” attack on press freedom and said reliable reporting from China had “never been more important.”
What does China have to hide?! They invented this wu flu and now we all die because of it. China owes the world everything now. They should be enslaved to the world for this.
