Current Events > Beijing to oust US reporters from China and bar them from reporting in Hong Kong

(+) Yeah! (+)

China is to strip US journalists from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post of their credentials.
The foreign ministry said on Wednesday that the outlets along with Voice of America and TIME Magazine must submit documents detailing staff members, financial status, operation status and property they owned in China. Press cards which expire by the end of this year must then be returned within 10 days.

In a further unprecedented move, the ministry also said that the US staff from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post would not be allowed to work as journalists in Hong Kong or Macau.
