The US and China restrict reporter visas – with China expelling journalists – as brinkmanship over trade and tech, Hong Kong and the coronavirus, spills over into the media.
The United States on Tuesday, September 8, accused China of"threatening" and"harassing" foreign journalists after it refused to renew press credentials for several employees of American media organisations.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently informed the US embassy in Beijing of new curbs on foreign reporters"by denying them press card renewals and refusing to process pending visa applications for journalists who were expelled earlier this year," she said. The US has been"working relentlessly" to convince China to allow US journalists back into the country, the State Department spokeswoman added.
