The Chinese regime claimed that “U.S. law enforcement personnel” were interrogating the crew of Chinese civilian ships and airlines about their Communist Party membership, and threatened to retaliate against the United States in response.

China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said during a Nov. 30 press conference that U.S. personnel were checking Chinese vehicles arriving at American ports of entry, and asking crew members about their Chinese Communist Party (CCP) membership.
