BEIJING—China’s foreign ministry has ordered six U.S. media outlets to report back on their operations in the country within seven days, after Washington said it was designating the U.S. arms of six more China-based media firms as foreign missions.
The U.S. media outlets affected are the American Broadcasting Corp. (ABC), the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Feature Story News, the Bureau of National Affairs, and Minnesota Public Radio, according to a statement from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs late on Oct. 26.
