The Trump administration rebuked the Chinese regime on March 17 after Beijing said it would expel U.S. journalists based in China who work for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

The Chinese regime said its move was retaliation for the United States’ recent actions targeting Chinese state-run media outlets in the country.
