China takes retaliatory measures against American media

Geng Shuang

China took retaliatory measures against the US administration on Mar 18 as it has restricted the normal activities of the Chinese media outlets and journalists in the US while steadily ratcheting up discrimination and political crackdown on them.

Accordingly, it is said that similar discriminative restrictions the US has taken against the Chinese journalists would be imposed on American columnists in China.

The same day, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang in a press conference demanded the US discontinue the political pressure and unreasonable restrictions against China's mass media, and warned that China would inevitably be compelled to take stronger countermeasures if the US did not accept its demand.
