Kind of odd to hear about this, given the NYT and Uncle Walter.

In the latest escalation of tensions between the two superpowers, China announced on Tuesday that it would expel American journalists working for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. It also demanded that those outlets, as well as the Voice of America and Time magazine, provide the Chinese government with detailed information about their operations.
The announcement, made by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came weeks after the Trump administration limited the number of Chinese citizens who could work in the United States for five state-controlled Chinese news organizations to 100.
China instructed American journalists “whose press credentials are due to expire before the end of 2020” to “notify the Department of Information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within four calendar days starting from today and hand back their press cards within ten calendar days.”
It went on to specify that the American journalists now working in China “will not be allowed to continue working as journalists in the People’s Republic of China, including its Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.”
The full scope of the directive was not immediately clear.

China Announces That It Will Expel American Journalists...
Why? Did they trash the principal’s office?
I’d wish we would expel NY Times gerbalists also.
Oh. They realized the fake news they (media) peddle is contradictory to the fake news China peddles?
good news to my ears. Trump is orchestrating the gradual separation of our economy from theirs. I hope he is re-elected so it will be completed in full. I also expect higher tariffs in 2021 should Trump win.
Got to control information.
Can we expel The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post from America?
Send them to Iran.
That's a lie!
No "Americans" and no "journalists" are being expelled...
Only a bunch of communist agents who specialize in propaganda are being expelled...
Send all 100 back. Why did we need 100 in the first place?
UH Huh. Yet its a conspiracy that the WUHOO Flu was manufactured at the WUHOO lab.
I dont think so any longer.
Kind of odd to hear about this, given the NYT and Uncle Walter.
It’s said Joulnarists.
Be a damn shame if those Chinese Generals started to worry about losing their mansions and luxury cars and had a coup to throw those Chinese communist dictators to the dogs.
Why does this make me smile?
Trying to curry favor with Trump, lol!
Thank you?
I hear ya' - can we get some of that action too?
We should get rid of them here too.
Who would take them though?
“Journalists”? Um...OK. Make that wall 10 ft taller.
